Old-Fashioned Love Is Back in Fashion
Us Weekly|November 11, 2024
Dating a fellow celebrity might be exciting, but many big stars in sports and entertainment are instead finding lasting love with women they've known since childhood

Old-Fashioned Love Is Back in Fashion

One of the best perks of fame has got to be the sudden upgrade to your love life. Even stars who claim they felt like ugly ducklings in high school have their pick of the beautiful people, whether it's via high-end dating apps like Raya or by schmoozing in the VIP area at exclusive events.

But there's one problem: It can be hard to know who to trust. And that's why there's a rising trend for stars to go back to their roots for love. While male celebs might get a rep for being "modelizers," it's not always the case. In fact, Us has noticed that, increasingly, some very rich, famous and successful men are opting out of the Hollywood dating game and settling down with gorgeous but very normal women from their past. After all, there's nobody you can trust more than a woman who's been on a first-name basis with your mom since graduation.
