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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

He's even been known to dabble in a few films himself.
