Brangelina, Kimye, Bey & Jay, Posh 'n' Becks -- Hollywood is glittered with gorgeous celebrity couples who have captivated the world.

Not only are these dynamic duos powerful, but they're in love -- which ultimately makes for a better story.

But, how did these "it" couples fall head over heels for one another? Well, let's take a trip down memory lane ...

Brad Pitt & Angelina Joliebrad pitt angelina jolieBrangelina met on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2003. Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, but admits he "fell in love" with Jolie while shooting the flick. Aniston filed for divorce in March 2005 and 10 months later, Jolie and Pitt announced they were expecting their first child -- daughter Shiloh. They now have six kids together. "It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe," Jolie told Vogue of their relationship in 2006. "And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."

Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchentom brady giseleCoincidentally, this gorgeous couple met on a "blind" date set up by a mutual friend. "This friend told me he knew a girl version of me," Brady told Details magazine, with Gisele chiming in: "And he said to me he'd found a boy version of me."

But David told Britain’s The Sun that after seeing Victoria in the Spice Girls' “Say You’ll Be There” music video, he declared, “That’s the girl for me and I'm going to get her! She's my idea of perfection. I knew that if she wanted me, we would be together forever.” The rest, of course, is history.

"I met him when I was 19 at an audition for 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,'" she told YourTango.

We started courting each other and our friendship turned into romance."

Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambertblake shelton miranda lambertMiranda revealed to Dateline that she was immediately drawn to Blake after they met at CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets Concert in 2005. “I knew he was married," she said. "I had seen their wedding picture in Country Weekly. I knew better, like, this is off limits." Still, love prevailed, considering Blake felt the same. “I’ve never had that kind of experience with anybody,” he explained of meeting Lambert in a "Behind the Music" episode. “I was a married guy, you know? Standing up there and singing with somebody and going, ‘Man, this shouldn’t be happening.’ Looking back on that, I was falling in love with her, right there on stage.”

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Bieljustin timberlake jessica bielJustin and Jessica met through mutual friends. “There was nothing starry about the way we got together,” he admitted during a press conference last year. “It was very un-Hollywood-esque, in fact. We met and got talking. Afterwards I asked my friend if I could call her and ask her out. My friend called Jessica and Jessica said yes, and so I called her.”
