27 Celebrity Couples Who Flaunted Their Love in Music Videos

Many musicians have featured their real-life lovers in music videos — some pairs, like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, were already coupled up, while others found love on the set (we're looking at you, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend). We're highlighting those celebrity couples who made sweet music together — literally. Read on for 27 famous couples who set their love to music, and find out which ones stayed together after the director yelled "Cut!"

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

The whole Bennifer era is a blur for most of us (see: Gigli), but one of the most memorable moments from the epic courtship is Jennifer Lopez's video for "Jenny From the Block." She and Ben Affleck caroused on land and sea in the 2002 video, but it's that yacht scene that will likely go down in history.

Beyoncé and Jay Z

From "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" and "Crazy in Love" to "Drunk in Love" and "Part II (On the Run)," the usually private Jay Z and Beyoncé Knowles haven't shied away from putting their love on display in music videos.

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick

While they may be no longer, Britney Spears and her then-fiancé Jason Trawick starred together in the video for her 2011 hit "Criminal." Not only did Jason and Britney shared some very steamy love scenes in the short film, but they also went on some sort of two-person crime spree.

Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova

Enrique Iglesias reportedly began dating tennis star Anna Kournikova in 2001, but they remained pretty tight-lipped about their romance for years — even while getting down and dirty in the singer's video for "Escape" in 2002.

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna

About four years and two Victoria's Secret models ago, Adam Levine shot the video for Maroon 5's "Never Gonna Leave This Bed." His costar was then-girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna, and the couple (naturally) remained in bed the whole time. Anne also starred in the group's video for "Misery" in 2010.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

Kanye West and his wife, Kim Kardashian, shared some supersteamy (and topless) PDA in the video for "Bound 2" in 2013; they got hot and heavy while riding on a motorcycle as inspirational stock footage of horses and sunsets were projected in the background. Unsurprisingly, the video inspired plenty of parodies, including one from Kanye's friends Seth Rogen and James Franco.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen has starred in not one, but two of her now-husband John Legend's music videos. The couple first met when Chrissy played the crooner's love interest in 2006's "Stereo" and then got busy with her man in the supersexy clip for "All of Me," a song that he wrote just for her.

Puff Daddy and Jennifer Lopez

Back when they were dating (and back when he was Puff Daddy), Jennifer Lopez and Diddy linked up for the accompanying video to his 1997 hit "Been Around the World." Here's a fun fact: J Lo has appeared in music videos with each one of her high-profile beaus — from Diddy and Ben Affleck to Marc Anthony, Casper Smart, and, yes, even Cris Judd.

Axl Rose and Stephanie Seymour

Here's a throwback for you: supermodel Stephanie Seymour started dating Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, in 1991 and appeared in two of the band's videos: "Don't Cry" and "November Rain." Stephanie played Axl's bride in the latter clip, walking down the aisle in a very '90s mini wedding dress (spoiler alert: she dies in the end). At the time, the "November Rain" video was the longest in history at nine minutes and cost over $1.5 million to make. No amount of time and money could save Axl and Stephanie's relationship, though, as the couple called it quits in 1993.

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley

Who could forget the slightly romantic, slightly creepy video for Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone"? The shock that came from finding out they were a couple in the first place had just worn off — lest we forget that infamous kiss on stage at the 1994 VMAs — and then this was released. It was a weird time.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson together in one music video? Those were the days. Before they were married, the couple teamed up for their song "Where You Are" in 1999.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

For her "Love Story" video in 2011, Mariah Carey went the home movie route by splicing together personal clips of herself and husband Nick Cannon. The video literally shows the couple's love story, from when they met, married, and welcomed their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. The two may not be together anymore, but the video is forever.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney

Four years before they got engaged, Taylor Kinney and Lady Gaga starred together in the video for the singer's 2011 hit, "Yoü and I." About the eyebrow-raising sex scenes, Gaga explained, "No matter what you do, there's this giant boundary between you and someone else. So that's what it's about, perceiving in your imagination that there's something magical inside of you that you can make it work."

Pink and Carey Hart

Pink has never been shy when it comes to belting out songs about her husband, Carey Hart, and in 2008, she even had him star in the video for her song "So What" (which was actually all about their split). After the couple reconciled, Pink once again cast Carey in one of her videos, this time for "True Love." The couple's daughter, Willow, also made a cameo.

Seal and Heidi Klum

Seal had his then-wife Heidi Klum in mind when it came time to film the video for his song "Secret." The couple got pretty hot and heavy in the 2010 video, despite divorcing two years later.

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher

Country songstress Carrie Underwood cast her real-life husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, in the video for her 2010 tune "Mama's Song." The couple cuddles and kisses throughout the clip, even acting out wedding and honeymoon scenes. It was likely easy for them to do, as they tied the knot for real just a few months before filming the video.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine enlisted none other than his model wife, Behati Prinsloo, to play his love interest in the music video for the band's song "Animals." The creepy clip features Adam as a butcher who begins to stalk Behati's character by following her around town, breaking into her apartment, and taking tons of eerie photos of her while she sleeps. Then, the singer and Victoria's Secret Angel indulge in a blood-covered, Carrie-esque sex scene (which is likely all in the butcher's head).

Tyga and Kylie Jenner

Tyga and Kylie Jenner confirmed their relationship to the world at the VMAs in 2015, and not long after, the couple flaunted their romance the video for the rapper's song "Stimulated." It definitely made jaws drop, thanks to some very scandalous lyrics that are definitely about the barely legal reality star. All in all, this video might make you uncomfortable.

Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo

They've since split, but when Nick Jonas released the video for his 2014 hit "Jealous," he cast his then-girlfriend Miss Universe 2012 and Miss USA 2012 Olivia Culpo to play his love interest.

Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley

Billy Joel may have originally written "Uptown Girl" for his then-girlfriend Elle Macpherson, but it was his wife of nine years, Christie Brinkley, as the blonde stunner who got to star in the song's video back in 1983.

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks

Jason Derulo stirred up engagement rumors after he released the romantic video for his song "Marry Me" in 2013, mostly because it starred his then-girlfriend Jordin Sparks. Alas, the two never made it official — they broke up a year later.

Nick and Vanessa Lachey

After his divorce from Jessica Simpson in 2006, Nick Lachey dropped the breakup tune "What's Left of Me" and cast Vanessa Lachey (then Minnillo) as his costar in the video. The two began dating and tied the knot in 2011 and are now parents to two kids.

Travie McCoy and Katy Perry

You may have forgotten that Katy Perry and Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy even dated, but what's more, the rapper wrote their hit song "Cupid's Chokehold" about his then-girlfriend. Katy also appears in the video, swaying along to lyrics like "She's got porcelain skin, of course she's a 10 / And now she's even got her own song."

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill got married in 1996, and three years later, they starred together in the video for Faith's tune "Let's Make Love." The country couple have been going strong ever since and have three daughters together.
