The A-list celebs who dated ordinary people revealed as Ariana Grande announces engagement to estate agent Dalton Gomez
SHE might rub shoulders with some of the biggest and best names the music industry has to offer, but it's Dalton Gomez, a relatively unknown estate agent, who captured the heart of popstar Ariana Grande.
The famous songstress, 27, announced her surprise engagement on Instagram, just nine months after they revealed they were dating, and flashed a very impressive ring on her finger,
The couple have kept their relationship mostly under wraps, only occasionally sharing cryptic posts online.
However, even after her mystery man was revealed, fans were surprised to learn of her low profile romance to her non-famous beau, particularly after the singer's very public engagement to Saturday Night Live comic Pete Davidson.
But as it turns out, the songstress isn't the only A-lister who's dated, or married, a non-famous person, with stars like Scarlett Moffat from Gogglebox and actress Catherine Tyldesley falling for blokes with very ordinary jobs.
Here, Fabulous rounds up a list of celebs whose partner's are mostly unknown, despite their spouses' fame.
Catherine Tyldesley and Tom Pitfield
The 37-year-old English actress Catherine Tyldesley met Tom in 2014 at the gym when he was working as a personal trainer.
Then a star on ITV's Coronation Street, Catherine and Tom got engaged the same year and announced they were expecting a baby, Alfie, who is now five years old.
Tom continues to work as a freelance fitness consultant at Hale Country Club in Cheshire, which is where he first met Corrie favourite Cath.
Holly Willoughby and Daniel Baldwin
She might be one of the most known and loved personalities on British television, but her TV producer husband Daniel Baldwin prefers to stay relatively hidden behind the camera.
Holly has largely kept her private life out of the limelight since the pair first got together in 2004 - marrying three years later.
The couple met while working together on the kids' show Ministry of Mayhem, where Holly got her big break on telly, and went on to have three children together Harry, Belle and Chester.
The TV presenter has since become one of the most recognised faces on morning television - hosting This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield - and Dan launched has own independent media company in 2014, Hungry Bear.
Amanda Holden and Chris Hughes
Much like Holly, Amanda Holden is no stranger to the public eye, forging a career as a TV personality on Britain's Got Talent as well as being a radio co-host.
Her husband Chris Hughes on the other hand prefers the quieter life, working alongside famous faces, like his wife, as a record producer.
The pair met in 2003 after meeting in Los Angeles but they only started dating in 2004 before going on to have two children.
Scarlett Moffat and Scott Dobinson
Scarlett Moffatt shot to fame when she appeared on Gogglebox with her family all the way back in 2014.
She's since been crowned Queen of the Jungle and, just this year, moved in with her boyfriend Scott, who works as a policeman,.
A source previously told The Sun: "Scott seems like a really stand-up guy. He could be good for her.
"And he's got a decent job being a police officer in Durham near where she lives."
George Clooney Amal Alamuddin
Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney had a reputation of being a long-standing bachelor, with the world watching on to see who his leading lady would be.
In 2013, the American actor met human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin at a dinner party hosted by mutual friends, and it seemed to be love at first sight.
And while Amal was certainly successful and accomplished in her her right, she was pretty unknown on a global scale - that is until the pair got married the following year, making her Mrs Clooney.
They are now parents to twins, Alexander and Ella, who were born in June 2017.
Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe
Eddie Redmayne, who's had a number of leading roles, married his former publicist, Hannah Bagshawe, in 2014 and have since had two children together.
The PR executive met Eddie when he attended Eton College, the same year as Prince William, and Hannah was at the neighbouring boarding school for girls.
They began a 12-year-long friendship but that eventually turned to love in 2012 when Eddie invited her on a trip to Florence during downtime from shooting for Les Miserables.
Sam Faiers and Paul Knightley
Sam Faires is best known for starring in the ITV2 reality series The Only Way Is Essex from 2010, before diving into on on-screen romance with fellow cast member Joey Essex.
After the relationship ended in 2014, Sam was surprised to have found love again after meeting Paul Knightly at a swanky kebab house Sheesh in Chigwell, Essex.
Not much was known about Paul at the time except that he was a property developer and estate agent.
The couple were together for just five months before finding out she was pregnant, which eventually led Sam to star in her own show, The Mummy Dairies - in which Joey now appears.
Billie Faiers and Greg Shepherd
Following in the footsteps of her sister, Sam, Billie joined the TOWIE cast in the second series - quickly creating a fan base of her own.
Like Sam's beau Paul, little else was known about Greg Shepherd other than the fact he was a broker and businessman based in Essex.
Despite being a large part of Billie's life, the pair have actively avoided him being on the TV shows, in a bid to prevent pressure building on their romance.
As a result Greg is only seen making small appearances at major events on both Towie and sister Sam's show, The Mummy Diaries.
The pair now have two children together, Nelly and Arthur
Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth
Reese Witherspoon, who starred in Legally Blonde and more recently Big Little Lies, has spent decades making a name for herself on the big screen - and is also making waves off-screen, too.
The famous actress started dating Jim Toth, a talent agent, in 2010, after meeting at a friend's party, before marrying the following year.
Despite being a successful talent agent, Jim remains remains far less famous than his other half, who he has one child with.
Danielle Lloyd and Michael O’Neill
Danielle burst on to the scene when she was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title after posing nude in the December 2006 edition of Playboy magazine.
But her husband Michael O'Neill, an electrician from Birmingham, reportedly shuns the limelight - avoiding it at all costs.
The pair met at the gym when he told her how she could do her squat exercises better, and they got engaged just six months after dating.
Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman
Oscar-winning actress Anne might be one of the most famous actress' in the world but her husband Adam is far lesser known.
That's not to say he's not successful though, as the jewellery designer has his own line called James Banks - and has more recently produced films alongside his wife.
The pair married in 2012, after meeting four years earlier, and a child together.
He's even been known to dabble in a few films himself.
Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder
One fifth of pop group One Direction, Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder have been on and off since first meeting way back in 2011.
The fashion influencer kicked off her career as a stylist, and was introduced to Louis through Harry Styles, a mutual friend.
The fashionista now has a whopping 3.4 million Instagram followers, rivaling that of her famous boyfriend.
