  • Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
    Aussie actress Nicole Kidman and singer Keith Urban shocked fans when they began secretly dating. Nicole swapped all-American actor Tom Cruise for the rehab-loving country crooner Keith Urban. Nicole and Keith met after an awards dinner honoring famous Australians in January of 2005 and were married in June of 2006 near Sydney, Australia.

  • Sandra Bullock and Jesse James
    In 2003, actress and producer Sandra Bullock took her godson on a tour of Jesse James' hit show Monster Garage, and Jesse was love-struck. He pursued Sandra for weeks until she finally agreed to go out with him. The two wed in 2005, arriving to the wedding in a red monster truck. Looks like bad boy Jesse turned "Miss Congeniality" into "Mrs. Biker Chick."
