7. Harrison Ford & Calista Flockhart
They met at the Golden Globe Awards nearly 15 years ago, but we know that Calista shot first in pursuing her Han Solo. She intentionally spilled her drink on Ford in hopes of securing some face time with the star, who is 22 years older than her.
The two were dating for two years before Harrison Ford officially divorced his screenwriter ex-wife, Melissa Matheson, although the former couple had been separated for over a year before he met Flockhart. Harrison has said of his relationship, “I was 60 when I fell in love with Calista, what surprised me most was that I was still capable of establishing a long-lasting relationship, making a serious commitment. With my children, in my private life or my work, I try to learn from my mistakes and evolve.”
The pair were eventually wed at the New Mexico Governor’s mansion after eight years together as a couple. It was an intimate affair with a very select guest list, even Ford’s four grown children didn’t make the guest list. His son Ben joked with People magazine, “Those crazy kids went off and eloped! I’m so happy for them.” Today the couple can be seen out and about at sporting events, still enjoying each other’s company.
