Beautiful and unimaginable interesting stories about love can be found not only in film novels and books, but also real life, especially if you pay attention to celebrities. We have selected the most mind-blowing love stories that were talked about on every corner.

This love story is not a scandal, but simply the collapse of all seemingly iron-clad English traditions. The thing is that the chosen one of the representative of the monarchy, Edward, who became the first and only king in the entire long history England, she became an ordinary, not even very attractive, divorced (twice!) American woman. It was because of her that he abdicated the throne.

Their romance began when Mrs. Wallis lived in London with her new husband, successful and wealthy businessman Ernest Simpson. Their first fateful meeting took place in 1930 at a dinner party. At first sight, the woman fell into the heart of the Prince of Wales, and then everyone wondered why, because she was not a beauty. Although it is worth noting her charm and magical charm.

The couple began to have their affair in front of everyone, not even embarrassed by their position (Wallis is behind her husband, and Edward is a representative of the monarchy). They attended social events together, dined in restaurants, and walked the streets. The royal family thought that this was a frivolous, non-long-term hobby for the prince, which would soon fizzle out. But how wrong they were! As soon as Edward took the throne after the death of King George V, the American woman filed for divorce. The couple decided to get married, but then someone intervened The Royal Family, who set a condition for Edward: either the throne or a flighty woman from another country.

The result was the king's most famous speech, in which he abdicated the throne because of love. The couple lived for a very long time. They did everything together: wrote memoirs, traveled, gave interviews. True, they did not have children. Happiness ended in 1972, when Edward died of cancer.

In whose relationship passion was seething, it was between Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Their romance of the century lasted a long time, experienced ups and downs.

Their love story can be easily used as the basis of the plot and a beautiful and exciting film can be made. It would have everything: passionate kisses, quarrels and separations, fights and reconciliation, divorce and wedding (even twice). Not only did they star in films together that brought fame and awards, but they also destroyed numbers together while they fought furiously.

Their meeting took place on the set of the film “Cleopatra” in 1962. He was successfully married to actress Wallace Sybil, and she was also not free, she was married to the singer. The passion that flared up on the set overwhelmed Richard and Elizabeth so much that they continued to kiss even after the romantic scene was filmed. They behaved depravedly, without being embarrassed by anyone, they made love wherever they had to. The paparazzi were constantly hunting for them. Even the Vatican officially recognized this relationship as sinful, but the couple continued to meet. They eventually divorced their spouses and got married. Later they separated, but they were constantly drawn to each other.

Yes, the romances of the Golden Age of Hollywood do not compare to modern adultery. But there is a couple whose love has passed many tests and is one of the most beautiful.

To the novel by Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones for a long time They were skeptical, saying “he’ll play and quit.” But it was not there!

The successful actor, who managed to win several Oscars, simply fell in love at first sight with the young aspiring but already famous actress at the premiere of her film “The Mask of Zorro.” Michael, who had been married for 23 years at that time, simply could not allow Katherine to remain in the role of mistress. He sought her as best he could, a little old-fashioned, but selflessly. Five months later, the actress’s fortress fell, and the lovers set off on a trip around the world.

Famous people love, lose and suffer no less than others. We will tell you about the seven most touching and sad love stories that the whole world watched.

One of the most famous couples America of the 50s - cult actress and famous baseball player. In 1954, the lovers got married and seriously planned to become a model family. The fatal blonde insisted with all her might that she wanted to give birth to Joe’s children and become a complete home woman. True, in Marilyn’s understanding this did not include leaving Hollywood. Of course, the hot Italian husband did not like this, and his wife’s status as a sex symbol acted on him like a red rag on a bull. Jealousy conquered love, and after just 2 years of marriage the couple separated.

However, the warmest feelings between the former spouses still remained - all their lives they maintained communication and helped each other. Moreover, it was DiMaggio who was involved in preparing Monroe’s funeral, and on his orders, fresh flowers appeared on the actress’s grave for many years as a sign of love and respect from her former lover.

This love story began quite pragmatically - presidential candidate John Kennedy needed a profitable match and found it in the person of the respectable and educated Jacqueline Bouvier. The wedding took place in 1953 - the couple looked impeccable, but their happiness was mostly an invention of PR people. Kennedy did not take the oath of fidelity to his wife particularly seriously and started affairs right and left, while the faithful Jacqueline tolerated all his adventures and remained close during the severe attacks and operations that John endured due to his serious problems with the spine.

In the late 50s, Jackie's patience ran out and she decided to file for divorce. Her father-in-law and former diplomat Joe Kennedy persuaded her to save the marriage. The couple stayed together, and for some time peace and love truly reigned in their family - John began to appreciate his wife, and she allowed their relationship to start over with a new leaf.

But the idyll was not destined to last b for a long time - on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, a shot killed Kennedy and at the same time ended the story of their relationship with Jacqueline.

Witnesses of that tragic event especially remembered the gesture of the faithful wife, who decided not to change her blood-spattered suit so that the whole world could see not only her pain, but also the horror of the crime committed by the killer.

Although Birkin did not become the first love of the French chanson star Serge Gainsbourg, she definitely left a serious mark on his life and work. The couple met in 1968 on the set of the film “Slogan”. At first they hated each other, but after a while the situation changed dramatically, and from an enemy, Jane turned into the musician’s third wife.

The lovers stayed together for 12 long years, during which their daughter Charlotte was born and the famous hit “Je t"aime... Moi non plus” (“I love you... I don’t either”), which was personally criticized by the Pope, which , however, only added to the song’s popularity.

The tandem broke up due to Serge's addiction to drinking, but they remained good friends and colleagues - it was Gainsbourg who wrote it for Birkin best songs. To this day Jane speaks of ex-husband with great warmth and calls him a very vulnerable, but incredibly talented person.

This romance can rightfully be called a work affair - it flared up on the set of the film “Flame Over England”, where Lee and Olivier played lovers. Despite the fact that both actors were married, they decided to not care about everything and start living together. The couple decided to formalize the divorce from their other halves only a few years later, and only after that they were able to register their relationship.

Both sides destroyed this beautiful story -Lawrence was tormented by envy of his beloved’s success, and Vivienne began to experience an exacerbation of manic-depressive psychosis, which ultimately ruined her life and put an end to her passionate relationship with Olivier.

The actor came to his senses quite quickly, got married a year later and lived happily for 30 years, but Lee died just 7 years later from tuberculosis and remained single for the rest of her life.

The blonde fatale of our time and her famous husband met in 1968 on the set of the Warner Brothers studio. The romance flared up quickly - the couple got married the same year. The couple stayed together for 7 years.

They separated because of Penn - he was never famous for his exemplary behavior, but in those days he broke all records: he regularly got drunk, was wildly jealous of his wife and often beat her. One day he became completely carried away - the severely beaten singer even filed a report with the police. A little later, she actually took him away, saying that she wished Sean all the best, as long as he was away from her.

However, Madonna's feelings were strong - she later admitted more than once that Penn was her greatest love. In 1996, she invited the actor to attend her birth, and after that she regularly appeared with him at events and was extremely flattered when Sean visited and approved one of her performances. However, the couple was never able to fully forgive each other, and their reunion remained only in the dreams of fans.

6. Romy Schneider and Alain Delon

Another love affair at work, which, moreover, began with mutual hatred - having met on the set of the film “Christine,” the impulsive Delon and the sophisticated Schneider immediately disliked each other. But a few months later, Romy moved from Australia to Paris to Alain, and a couple of months later their engagement was announced. The wedding, however, never took place - after some time, Delon was spotted by the paparazzi with a certain blonde, a little later he left Romi, and he married this blonde. Schneider remained bottom.

Coping with grief, she got married and forgot to think about Delon, until fate brought them together again on the set of the film “The Swimming Pool.” As it turned out, fate was here And Moreover, the role for Romy was procured by the actor himself. Passion flared with new strength, Schneider’s husband left, and soon Delon himself fled, again leaving the actress alone with herself and her pain.

Romy's suffering turned into a passion for alcohol, and in 1981 she suffered another blow - her 14-year-old son suddenly died. Soon the actress herself died of a broken heart.

Delon accepted death ex-lover as his own fault - he wrote about this in a letter published in one of the newspapers: “It was because of me that your heart stopped beating. Because of me, because 25 years ago I was made your partner in Christina.

7. Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger

Williams and Ledger met on the set of the controversial film Brokeback Mountain. According to the actors' colleagues, their romance flared up immediately. The couple was happy together for three years - in 2008, after the birth of their daughter Matilda, they announced their engagement. However, they never got married - after some time, both actors announced a break in relations. For the press, the main version was the employment of Ledger and Williams. But close sources said that the matter was Heath’s addiction to drugs. The actor also experienced a difficult and painful breakup with Michelle with their help. And soon he was found dead in own home. He allegedly accidentally mixed strong sleeping pills, after which he could no longer wake up.

Williams suffered from the loss for a long time and is unlikely to fully recover from it now. In an interview, she said that no one can even imagine how many things died for her along with Heath.

Elbert Einstein and Margarita Konenkova

The story of this unusual relationship is not a romantic anthem devoted love, it is interesting only because it showed the only love of a brilliant scientist, which broke his heart.

Einstein fell in love with Margarita Konenkova (nee Vorontsova), the wife of a famous Russian sculptor, at the age of 56, as soon as he saw her. How different young Margarita was from his clumsy wife Elsa with a blurry figure and an exhausted face, whom he never loved, like his first wife Mileva, a Serbian! And here is a chiseled waist, beautiful breasts, graceful position of the hands - in order to preserve this beauty, the woman refused to have children. Her sculptor husband adored and idolized her and silently accepted her decision.

Konenkov the sculptor and his muse-wife Margarita Konenkova.

At first, Margarita treated Einstein as just another amusement; accustomed to constantly cheating on her husband with other men, she prepared herself for another flirtation. But she soon realized that she frozen heart begins to melt from hitherto unknown fiery feelings for the great genius.

A year later, Einstein's wife, Elsa, dies, and the shackles of marriage no longer fetter his love for Margot. Both of them don’t even try to hide her frequent visits to Princeton to the scientist’s mansion. And only Margarita’s husband does not seem to notice anything or pretends not to notice.... He is afraid of losing his Margarita - his muse and inspiration. And her caresses and tenderness were enough for many... Incredibly talented, smart, beautiful, she, like a lioness, easily conquered more and more new hearts, becoming the bohemian of America.

This relationship for three lasted a long time. While communicating, Margarita not only truly loved the founder of the theory of relativity, but also her homeland, the USSR, she carried out tasks of the NKVD and learned from him all the secrets of the development atomic bomb. When Einstein found out about this, he couldn’t even yell at his beloved, he just went to the FBI to ask for mercy for his beloved and helped her return to her homeland.

He wrote to her throughout the remaining years, but did not even have the opportunity to send letters.

Only the memories of her bright, only love for a man with eternally disheveled hair and a thick mustache brought her joy... She was dying of hunger, there was no one next to her except the devoid of virtue, an arrogant and cruel housekeeper who became the mistress here...

In 1980, in the center of prosperous Moscow, the body of a once emaciated woman was taken out of a dirty apartment. beautiful woman, on whose hand they tapped last minutes gold watch - a gift from the Great Einstein. He personally put them on the wrist of the woman dearest to him when they parted.

Their relationship can rather be characterized as follows: one loved, the other only allowed herself to be loved... but there is no doubt that the friendship was sincere and strong.

In the outwardly inconspicuous, slightly stooped woman with bulging eyes, there really was something rough, gypsy, inherited from her Spanish father, singer Manuel Garcia. But according to contemporaries, as soon as the first notes fell from her voice, a spark ran through the audience, ecstasy seized those listening, and the appearance of the singer herself no longer mattered. Fascinated by the performer's voice, people fell into a kind of prostration, and there could not be one among them indifferent to this person.

Besotted at first meeting in a charming voice Polina, the Russian writer lost his head, and experienced a similar state for four whole decades before last days own life.

Viardot, being married to a man 20 years older than herself, felt only warm sympathy for Turgenev, the commonality of views and interests, the unity of spirit attracted him to him, and then she brought him closer to her, brought him into her home as a friend, a family member , beloved...

Polina Viardot-Garcia not only illuminated the writer’s soul with love, became his muse for many years, inspired his creativity, helped him with translations into French, honing his style, but was also by his side until his last days, dying of cancer far from his homeland. But Ivan Turgenev chose to love with unrequited love and be with her all his life, never having his own family and children.

Niko Pirosmani is a Georgian artist from a simple family, who lost his parents at an early age, was in constant need, he did not even have the opportunity to buy canvases, and he placed all his creations on walls, boards, and oilcloth on the table. He often made a living by making signs for drinking establishments.

Beautiful French actress Margarita toured the provincial town where Niko lived and worked, and at the same time the heart of the aspiring artist. Pirosmani fell in love with her passionately, from the first minutes, with all his gut, but, unfortunately, this love did not evoke a reciprocal feeling. The poor artist's heart burned in the flames of passion.

On his birthday (it was spring), Niko Pirosmani filled several carts with fresh flowers and brought them to the windows of the house where Margarita was staying. Armfuls of lilacs, white acacia and snow-white roses (not scarlet) filled the streets of Tiflis with an incomprehensible aroma and lay on the square like a thick floral blanket. It remains a mystery where the artist got these flowers...

Margarita’s heart, touched by the spectacle, trembled, she went out, kissed Niko and that’s it... The next day, the actress left the city forever. They didn't see each other again...

Nikola Pirosmanishvili did not become a great artist during his lifetime, his direction of primitivism in painting was not understood, he died at the age of 56, in complete poverty, until his last days, keeping the image of his beloved Margarita in his heart... The artist's works are kept in museums around the world.

Love - great power, capable of transforming the whole world, making a person better, stronger, higher, it is timeless. According to Turgenev:

“Only by her, only by love does life hold and move.”

And let it singe your wings with its flame at least once in your life! And may you be lucky in love!
