The chemistry that lives on and off screen.

It is a rare gem to see real-life couples working together on film projects. However, when they do, the results can be nothing short of electrifying.

As audiences get to see the connection between the lovebirds, their chemistry adds an extra layer of authenticity to their performances. Here are five Hollywood couples you have definitely seen working together in a movie.

1. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

One of Hollywood's most powerful bonds. Their love story, which began on the set of Overboard in 1987, has stood the test of time, marriage, and multiple film projects together.

Kurt Russell and Goldie have worked together on projects such as Swing Shift, The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, and The Christmas Chronicles.

In 2020, the couple reunited as Mr. and Mrs. Claus in the second installment of The Christmas Chronicles.

Their enduring partnership, which began many years ago, formed the basis for Hollywood's most authentic couple and continues to enchant audiences to this day.

2. Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev

Now-exes Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are known for their remarkable on-screen chemistry as Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert in The Vampire Diaries series.

Their on-screen romance is compelling for a reason, as the couple began dating while filming, mirroring their off-screen chemistry in the series.

However, the love didn't last long as their relationship eventually came to an end.

Both Somerhalder and Dobrev have remained professional and continued to portray their characters, but on the show you can definitely see where exactly the actors went their separate ways as they didn't ooze such passion anymore.

3. David Arquette and Courteney Cox

David Arquette and Courteney Cox are known for their iconic roles as Woodsboro deputy sheriff Dewey Riley and news reporter Gale Weathers in the Scream franchise.

Their characters share a special on-screen connection that grew into something more, and the couple married in 1999.

Though the marriage only lasted until 2013, the actors remained supportive co-parents, and in 2022, they reunited as the iconic Scream duo in a new slasher installment.

4. Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz

The passionate Hollywood couple first met on the set of the Spanish film Jamón Jamón in 1992 and haven't seen each other since.

They reunited in 2007 for the filming of Woody Allen 's Vicky Cristina Barcelona and have never been apart since.

They secretly married in 2010, now having two children, and living in their native Spain.

Despite being a private couple, both actors reunited for several projects like The Counselor, Loving Pablo and Everybody Knows, delighting fans with the opportunity to see their chemistry on the big screen.

5. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt

Unlike other couples on this list, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt's love story began off-screen when the two were introduced to each other by their mutual friends.

Ten years later, after getting married and having children, they appeared on the big screen in 2018 as a wife and a husband in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror A Quiet Place.

Directed by Krasinski and starring Blunt, the film remains a great example of a married couple collaborating and passionate about their life's work.
