Eleanor and Mathew met on the set of The Hostel, and have never left each other even for a bit since. The celebrity couple is toasting 9 years of nothing but love. See the full story here.
How they met
Eleanor: We met on the film set. It was one of those mornings when I went for auditions. I think it was a read-through because I had actually got the role and he was there and I was there, and we were not always on the same set because he was Gilo and I was Hope, the Christian girl, and he was the player, so we would never really meet at any one time. It was until later that we had a scene to do together where the player hits on the Christian girl. It was so priceless because then, we had a thing for each other, so we became friends first, then good friends, then really close friends, and more than friends, started dating, and then he proposed (laughs).
Making it work
Mathew: For some reason, I think it’s easy for us. I think it goes back to us being friends. You see, the challenge with many people, especially in relationships, is that they are together but not exactly together. Do they love hanging out together? Is that the thing? She wants to go hang with the girls. That’s where challenges come in. She is looking all stunning and hanging with the girls daily. She is going to allow other people to say, you know. Then with us, you find that we hang out together.
Eleanor: As celebrities, we have tried to keep it real. You know what I mean, like, we don’t have to pretend to fit in or to be what we are not. We are ordinary parents, ordinary husband, and wife, and we go about our daily lives as any other person would.
