Top 20 Marvel Stars Who Dated Each Other

Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest franchises in the world. A lot of really high-rated celebrities have worked with this franchise over the years. As we all know that Marvel movies are mostly packed with fights and adventures with little space for romance, the fans with a romance kink might leave the hall unhappy sometimes. But these stars spread some love off-screen.

It is no surprise that there were a lot of off-screen couples in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as these stars spend a lot of time together during the shooting. Some of these Marvel power couples met before they starred in a movie and some fell for each other during the filming.

Zendaya And Tom Holland

We really can’t talk about Marvel couples without first talking about this adorable relationship. Zendaya and Tom meet on the set of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘. The British actor said, “We are like the best of friends. She’s so great and amazing.” The two were really good friends for a long time and stayed that way. The costars made things official in 2021 as Holland shared a photo of him and Zendaya on her birthday.

“It’s crazy, but something we try not to think about all that much. You know, we’re here to do a job, we’re here to promote a movie that we love and we’re proud of, and we’re very lucky that we have fans that are so supportive and so invested in our lives,” said Tom in an interview.

Chris Evans And Jessica Biel

Chris Evans has dated a lot of Hollywood celebs, including Lily Collins, and Jenny Slate. But his longest relationship was with Jessica Biel from 2001 to 2006, when they both were still building their careers and were not quite famous.

Evans is now known for playing Captain America in Marvel, and Jessica starred in ‘Blade: Trinity‘. The couple remained pretty low-key for a long time. In an interview, Jessica even revealed that they wanted to get married and have kids, but eventually broke up. We still don’t know the reason behind this split.

Elizabeth Olsen And Tom Hiddleston

The ‘WandaVision‘ star Elizabeth Olsen plays the role of Wanda or Scarlet Witch, and Tom Hiddleston plays Thor’s brother Loki. Both of them are main characters in the MCU. The two were reportedly dating in May 2015 although they did not make it official for a long time. Neither of them was looking for a serious relationship at that time but they really cared for each other.

In July 2015, they both were seen hanging out in Oxford, and two days later, the pair got photographed sharing a taxi. The duo also played husband and wife in the 2015 Hank Williams’ biopic ‘I Saw the Light‘.

Robert Downey Jr. And Marisa Tomei

Iron Man and Aunt May! Hard to imagine right, but let us not consider their roles’ age differences here. This couple briefly dated in the mid-1990s and still remained friends after their breakup. Robert and Marisa have worked together in a lot of movies, both in and after their relationship. The couple was featured in the ’90s in films like ‘Chaplin‘ and ‘Only You‘. They both were reunited on-screen in Marvel movies ‘Captain America: Civil War‘ and ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’.

Scarlett Johansson And Ryan Reynolds

Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) And Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) had a mystery relationship for some, and they even got married. The sad part is that the fans got to know about their marriage after they got divorced. Scarlett and Ryan began dating back in 2007, just two years before Johansson’s fame came as Black Widow. By 2010 both Johansson And Reynolds had decided to split from each other for good after two years of marriage.

Chris Pratt And Emily VanCamp

Chris Pratt plays Peter Quil or Star-Lord in the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ movies produced by MCU, while Emily plays Sharon Carter, niece of Peggy Carter. Pratt dated Emily VanCamp from 2004 to 2007.

In MCU, Paltrow plays Pepper Potts, wife of Tony Stark. Paltrow eventually started a family with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. It is reported that she remains on good terms with Affleck.

Zoe Saldana And Bradley Cooper

Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper began dating each other at the end of 2011 while filming the movie ‘The Words‘ together, soon after she split from her fiancé Keith Britton. They dated for about a year before breaking up right before New Year’s in 2012.

Though they are both ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ cast members, Saldana is not in touch with her co-star. She made it clear that she does not stay friends with exes. Although Bradley doesn’t appear on screen in any Marvel movies, he provided the voice of Rocket Racoon, who is one of the guardians of the galaxy. Saldana, who plays Gamora, is one of the leads in the movies.

Jennifer Connelly And Paul Bettany

Jennifer Connelly played the role of Betty Ross in the movie ‘Hulk‘ in 2003. Paul Bettany plays Vision in marvel movies as well as ‘WandaVision‘.They met on the set of ‘A Beautiful Mind‘ in 2001 though they didn’t begin dating until after the shoot. The couple has been married to each other since January 2003. Ever since they met as co-stars on a film together, the pair became inseparable.

Gemma Chan and Dominic Cooper

Dominic Cooper plays the role of Howard Stark, the Stark Industries founder, and the father of Tony Stark, in the ‘Captain America‘ films. Gemma Chan didn’t join Marvel Cinematic Universe until 2019. Chan later went on to play Doctor Minerva in ‘Captain Marvel’ before bringing Sersi to life in 2021’s ‘Eternals’.

“I think I’m so fortunate to be in a relationship where we can talk about anything. Dom was very understanding and empathetic,” she told ‘Harper’s Bazaar‘ U.K. “I was quite open about how I was feeling during that time, and he was just incredibly supportive. I definitely didn’t feel I had to shoulder everything on my own. I’m really, really lucky.”
