Celebrity Couples Who Met On Set, And Now They’re In Love

18. Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey, Jr

Movie: Firstborn
Location: New Jersey
Year: 1984

Speaking of Sarah Jessica Parker, the actress dated Robert Downey Jr. in the 1980s. The two met on the set of Firstborn, a drama, in 1984. They were both just eighteen at the time, and they began dating, moving in together two months after they met. Parker said the two were young and in love, and they spent nearly eight years together.

Their relationship was derailed before the wedding bells could ring, as Robert Downey Jr. was going through a highly-publicized drug and alcohol addiction at the time. He said the addiction “didn’t jibe” with SJP, and, though he was “in love” with her, he couldn’t get his “act together.” The Iron Man star said that “love…was not enough” to keep the relationship going.
