Answer: Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro

Regarding their blind date, Navarro recalled that upon seeing her walk into the restaurant for their blind date he thought, "I'm a dead man, it's over. I'm done. Carmen was ... much more beautiful than I expected, in a very classical way." The date had been set up by Carmen Electra's hairdresser, who also knew Navarro very well.
2. Nikki Webster and Matthew McMah met on a blind date on Australia Day in 2010 and Matthew proposed marriage in Fiji in January of 2011.

Nikki met her husband Matthew McMah on a blind date, which obviously went well as the couple shared two children: son Malachi, two, and daughter Skylah, five.

But alas, Nikki revealed in 2019 that she and husband Matthew McMah's seven-year marriage had sadly come to an end.

Who was this redheaded celebrity?

Answer: Danny Bonaduce

Yes, Danny Bonaduce met his ex-wife Gretchen Hillmer Bonaduce on a blind date in 1990, and because she was a very religious person, according to Danny, she was not the type of woman to have sex before marriage. It wasn't love at first sight exactly; it was more like lust, and the couple were so drunk that seven hours into that first date Danny called a minister to come marry the couple. With that kind of start, it's no wonder that many of the couple's personal struggles were broadcast on their short-lived 2005 reality series, "Breaking Bonaduce".

She filed for divorce in April 2007 after 16 years of marriage.
4. Speaking of child TV stars, Jerry Mathers' third marriage was to a TV producer, Teresa Modnick, whom he met on a blind date arranged by his sister. What show was Jerry the star of?

Answer: Ryan Sweeting

Kaley and Ryan Sweeting met for the first time in June 2013, on a date set up by pals, and he was so enchanted with the actress that he proposed marriage just three months later. And three months after that, the couple married on New Years Eve 2013. As Kaley told David Letterman: "We actually met on a blind date. I had never met him, and he had really never met me.

He still tells me he had never seen the show, he didn't know who I was." (Huh? Doesn't everybody google the person they're going on a blind date with?) The couple signed a prenuptial agreement, so maybe that wasn't a good sign.
6. And speaking of tennis pros, Pete Sampras saw actress Bridgette Wilson for the first time up on the movie screen in 1999. He commented to his friend that he would love to meet her, and his friend actually forged ahead and found out her phone number.

He proposed 9 months later. What screwball dark comedy movie did Sampras spot her in?

Answer: Love Stinks

"Love Stinks" the only screwball comedy of those films, was up on movie screens in 1999, whereas Woody Allen's "Match Point" didn't come out until 2005, "The Net" starring Sandra Bullock came to movie screens in 1995 and then left, and "The Fault in Our Stars" didn't come out until 2014.

Sampras married Wilson, the American actress, model and former Miss Teen USA on September 30, 2000 in a lavish ceremony, in front of their close friends, family members, and co-stars.

Their two children are son Presley Walker (born July 2, 1999), and daughter Kaia Jordan (born September 3, 2001). Both children are following in their mother's footsteps, with modeling careers of their own.

Answer: Gisele Bundchen

Tom Brady told Howard Stern in an interview that he was introduced to Bundchen by a friend, and that "it was a 'blind date'--although it wasn't blind because I knew what she looked like." Brady said he wasn't sure if he was actually ready or not for a new relationship, but when she walked inhe just thought she was the "most beautiful woman" he ever saw in his life.

But, as Brady related, there were some ups and downs in the beginning due to Tom and Gisele learning that Tom's ex was pregnant with his son, Jack. Brady said that he and Gisele learned a lot about each other in dealing with a situation that was not easy. But the three adults learned to make their modern family work.

Bowie would say, "That she would be my wife, in my head, was a done deal...I'd never gone after anything in my life with such passion in all my life. I just knew she was the one." They had one child. What is that child's name?

Answer: Alexandria Zahra Jones

They were introduced by a hairdresser at that dinner party. When asked the secret to their long-lasting marriage in a show-biz world of relationships quickly flaming out, Iman said, "First, I think you've got to feel hot for each other and respect each other. That's where it starts. Also, we are very private, so we decided from early on that we will keep the press and editors and everybody out of our house." As for Bowie, he recalled "My attraction to her was immediate and all-encompassing. I couldn't sleep for the excitement of our first date." Bowie proposed while the couple vacationed in Florence, Italy. Iman had seen a ring that she loved, so Bowie went back for it and found it.

Although somebody had bought it, David found the buyer and bought it from them. David Bowie proposed on the banks of River Seine and Iman said "It was sweet and of course I said yes." Their daughter Alexandria was born in 2000.
