It’s practically the stuff of teenage dreams: your high school sweetheart goes on to become a superstar. Or maybe you have a run-in with someone who’s already on their way to becoming famous and, somehow, they pick you.
It’s something some folks over on Reddit wondered about, asking others what it was like to date someone famous—or someone who would eventually become famous. What was it like? How did it end? And are they still in touch? The answers range from sweet to messy to downright unbelievable, and while “dating” might be used a little loosely in some of them, they’re pretty entertaining—whether you’ve always dreamed of joining your celeb crush on the red carpet or can’t imagine anything worse than that kind of spotlight.

My grandmother went to prom with a supreme court justice (Anthony Kennedy) and she still can send him emails and he will answer. I guess that counts.

My mom dated slash in high school. Before she passed away she joked with me and tells me " d**n, why couldent he be the father". I laughed so hard when she said this. She was also friends with Mikey from OCC.

I wish I had more to this story, but, I met katy perry back when I was a touring musician and she was a solo act, and she told me I was really cute and we drank all night and I wussed out of doing the deed because I had a f*****g s****y girlfriend back home. Years of regret, and unrelented taunting from coworkers.

Got a novelty kiss out of Zooey Deschanel when I worked with her on set once. Like, I got the whole staff joking about how romantic it would be for the lighting assistant to kiss her. I made it a running joke. It got around to the whole cast and even the interns. On the second to last day, I got the kiss. You could say we're pretty serious I guess.
Playing the long game, guys. It works.

Rachael Ray [passed gas] next to me at an airport terminal during a layover in CVG, so I guess you can say we kind of dated.

I met a girl that dated the lead singer for modest mouse when they were still a college band (though still regionally famous). We started chatting online after we met. Got super close. She was basically cheating on him with me. She sent me [private part] pics while still dating him. I guess it wasn't as fun as it sounds.
Tl;dr lead singer of modest mouse and I are Eskimo brothers.

Dated a ridiculously hot (and rich) Korean girl from LA that was in law school with me. She hooked up with Christiano Ronaldo and went on a few dates with him a few years before we dated. If I remember she said he really wasnt that good looking and she had no idea who he was at first - all of her friends were completely f******* out and she was just telling him to back off. She said his hair was ridiculously greasy - she wasn't a fan. Also, Jim Carrey apparently tried to hit on her and she said he's the creepiest f******* dude ever. The latter one I believe for sure, think I've read several times that Jim Carrey creepily hits on hot asian girls quite a bit?
Being eskimo brothers would Christiano Ronaldo wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.

I f****d a now fairly well-know (in Ohio, at least) newsperson when we were in college on the regular. Wouldn't really say we dated, but we hooked up a lot over the course of a few months.
Ended fine. She was fun and very career driven and focused. We just sort of stopped h*********. For a while when I'd see her on billboards it was fun to tell people I hit that.

This is going to buried for sure, but I currently date a guy who is a drummer for a major band out of Boston, has a Billboard Award and an international hit song.
Its...interesting. We've been together for two years and for the most part it is a pretty easy relationship. He and I are both homebodies and he's not very social (after shows he usually hides in the backstage area), but we both enjoy road trips and that is where we spend our money (or video games and music equipment (thats more him)). I do very well being alone so when he's on tour for weeks I am okay; of course I miss him, but I'm able to cope, and he does his best to always keep me in the loop or let me know he's thinking about me.
One negative is planning anything with him is almost impossible. He rarely knows where he is going to be or if a show will pop up, if he has to take a last minute flight to LA or NY, or what have you. I am very much a planner, and he will usually tentatively agree with things, which is nice.
All in all it is a pretty typical relationship with the perk of awesome backstage access.

A few years ago I f****d a then-rookie NFL player who now starts for a fairly impressive AFC team. To me, the s*x was nothing special and I chalked it up to another kind of cool f*****g story. He must have felt otherwise because I spent the next few months avoiding his calls and texts.
Yes, I now realize that if I would have accepted his advances I would not be living in the s**t hole apartment that I am currently typing this from. But, I realized something more important back then...even 300+ lb. linebackers can have very, very, tiny d***s.
