00:00I love your love story. I just recently heard about your love story and how you met your wife
00:05and then how later in life it happened. Can you do a quick synopsis for us?
00:08Welcome to Miss Mojo. Today we're looking at celebrities who talked about the moment
00:11they realized their partner was the one they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with.
00:16It's down and I can't get my eyes off her and I'm waving trying to get over there.
00:21Stephen Colbert
00:22If you think love at first sight is a myth, Stephen Colbert's story will make you a believer.
00:27During the early days of his career, he faced a life-altering decision.
00:30Marry his girlfriend or stay single.
00:32My mom picks me up. She goes, well, you're really distracted. And I said, well,
00:36I told her why. Mom and I were really close. She said, oh, this is what Ann said. She goes,
00:38well, do you love her? I said, I think so. And she said, do you want to marry her?
00:43I said, I don't know. And she said, I don't know isn't good enough.
00:48And suddenly I had a week to kill.
00:49While home in Charleston, South Carolina, he attended the world premiere of the opera
00:54Hydrogen Jukebox with his mother. Standing across the room was a woman who instantly
00:58captivated him.
00:59Beautiful woman in a black linen dress, standing in one of the sconces in the lobby. And I think
01:04her. Honest to God, I thought, there's your wife. You're going to marry her.
01:10Within the first minute of their conversation,
01:12Colbert realized that he and Evelyn McGee were meant for each other.
01:16Decades later, their perfect love story continues to burn bright
01:19and remains a testament to the power of destiny.
01:22Here's a very nice card that says, our wedding seems like yesterday.
01:25I'm still crazy for you in every way. Happy anniversary. And that is that is the truth,
01:31my love.
01:31Mila Kunis. Many speculated about a romance between Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher during
01:37that 70s show. But the two were never an item back then. Years later, though, fate did intervene.
01:42One of our separate ways, and in our 20s, always kept in touch on, you know, AOL iChat.
01:47Oh, yeah.
01:48So we would always be like, hey, how's it going? How's life? Like always just,
01:51you know, but we both had independent relationships when all like had a whole separate life.
01:55According to Kunis, she never saw him romantically until running into him at an awards show.
01:59Maybe the stars aligned, or perhaps he was in the right place at the right time.
02:03But something changed in that instant.
02:05And then he turned around and I went, oh, and then that moment that you hear or see
02:10movies where like your heart skips a beat. And it happened with Ashton. And I was like,
02:13stop it. Like I was like, no, it was the weirdest thing. I was like, this isn't really happening.
02:18Although he initially planned to set her up with a friend, that was the most defining
02:22moment for Kunis. In her eyes, this was when Kutcher went from friend to future hubby.
02:27If we were in a movie, like the music would start playing and violins would go. I literally went,
02:32like, I think that he, for the first time ever, took my breath away.
02:35Blake Lively
02:36Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds may seem like they've been together forever,
02:39but this A-list couple also has their own origin story.
02:42Anything I see in my mind, like I can create. I just have to focus.
02:46Anything?
02:46Anything.
02:49After meeting on the set of Green Lantern, it took some time before their dynamic evolved.
02:53According to Reynolds, they were friends for a while before a double date with other people
02:57sparked a deeper connection.
02:59She was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another girl. And that was the
03:02most awkward date for their respective partners because we were just like fireworks coming across.
03:06Although that kickstarted their romance, Lively knew that he was the one
03:10after realizing their friendship was the foundation for their relationship.
03:13Speaking to Marie Claire magazine, she confessed that knowing
03:16he would always be her best friend for her whole life prepared her for the next step.
03:21Over a decade of marriage later, it looks like trusting her instincts paid off.
03:25Still, you know, not just in our history, but in everyday life, he is my friend first.
03:32I think that's the secret to happiness.
03:35Beyonce
03:36In another case of friendship blossoming into love,
03:39Beyonce came to know her significant other as her closest friend.
03:42While everything about their life together has been high profile,
03:44Beyonce and Jay-Z kept it surprisingly low-key before making things official.
03:49I remember the first time you were on The Oprah Show and I told you,
03:51don't go around telling people who you're dating. I think you took that all the way.
03:55I took it as far as I could take it.
03:57Though she didn't have a grand epiphany,
03:59Beyonce feels being on the phone for a year and a half with him
04:02solidified her belief that he was the one.
04:04The performer believes that friendship as the basis for their relationship
04:08allowed her husband to understand who she is.
04:10And that foundation is so important in a relationship.
04:13And just to have someone that you just like.
04:17It was only after they reached such a deep understanding
04:20that Beyonce felt ready to go on their first date.
04:22The rest, as we know, is history.
04:31Victoria Beckham
04:32When you first met him, when you first met the two of you, I mean, was it like
04:36bow, wham, smack? I mean, did you think, oh God, this is the guy, this is the girl
04:41I'm going to get married to and live the rest of my life with?
04:44Did you?
04:44I felt that, yeah.
04:45Did you?
04:45Definitely. You did, I hope, didn't you?
04:48After a whirlwind romance that dominated tabloids,
04:51Posh and Beck's wedding was nothing short of a cultural phenomenon.
04:54In a letter to her teenage self, published in Vogue,
04:57Victoria opened up about when she knew her heart belonged to him.
05:00When I saw him in the footballers' lounge,
05:02all the other footballers were at the bar,
05:04but he was standing, talking to his parents, and I'm very close to my family,
05:09and I love that side to him.
05:11As she describes it, it was love at first sight,
05:14not just because of his looks, although his cute smile did help,
05:17but because of how he valued his family.
05:19Having a similar bond with her own family,
05:21Victoria was certain that any future they shared
05:24would be built on the same foundation of love and loyalty.
05:27Obviously, he's incredibly good looking, but David is the most wonderful husband
05:32and fantastic father and a real inspiration to all of us.
05:35You know, he's hardworking, he's, yeah, he's a really, really,
05:39I'm lucky to have him as my soulmate.
05:41Chance the Rapper.
05:42Their 2019 wedding might make it seem like Chance and Kirsten Corley was a recent item,
05:47but their story stretches back two decades.
05:49We've been married since March 9th.
05:51Sorry, we got married last year in December.
05:54We had our wedding March 9th.
05:56So yeah, coming up on a year, actually.
05:58But you've known each other since you were nine years old.
06:00Since we were nine years old, yeah.
06:01In a heartfelt Twitter thread, Chance revealed he first saw his
06:04future missus at a Christmas party at his mother's workplace.
06:08Corley was performing a routine inspired by a Destiny's Child song,
06:11captivating Chance, who claims it was then that he knew he was gonna marry that girl.
06:16I saw her and I was like, I like what I see.
06:19I can get into that.
06:21Their paths didn't cross again until years later,
06:23but he wasn't willing to let her go this time.
06:25Though their 2024 separation gives a bittersweet ring to this story,
06:29their journey from a childhood crush to marriage
06:31will always be a beautiful chapter in their lives.
06:34So she's been with you through everything.
06:36Oh yeah, definitely before I was successful.
06:38She was my girlfriend, for sure.
06:40Yes.
06:40That's important.
06:40If I'm successful now, then yes, pre-success.
06:42Nick Jonas.
06:43Nick and Priyanka's wedding was like a marriage between two worlds.
06:47While they seemed to have a whirlwind romance,
06:49the singer revealed it was actually a long time coming.
06:51Some things are effective.
06:52Hey, I know I've heard we have a lot of things in common,
06:56friends in common, and I think we should meet in person.
06:59And she right away responded.
07:01She was like, nice to meet you.
07:03Like, let's get off DM.
07:04Let's go to text.
07:05My team might be watching.
07:06According to Jonas, the pair were friends for two years before they started dating.
07:10But once they did, he quickly realized that they were meant to be.
07:13I got to know her so well as a friend first,
07:16which then made it really easy when we started dating to say,
07:18wow, this is the person and I know, you know, right off the bat.
07:21So it happened very fast.
07:22The performer was so certain of their bond
07:23that he shared plans to propose to his brothers
07:26just a week after his date with Priyanka.
07:28After all, when you know, you know.
07:30I said September, it was May at the time,
07:32and then it ended up being June that I proposed to her.
07:34Emily Blunt
07:35I kind of knew who he was, but not terribly well.
07:40And which he likes to say, you know, that I had no idea who he was.
07:44But then you knew I liked you.
07:46So it's real.
07:47Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are easily among the most adored celebrity couples today.
07:52Known for their breezy, drama-free relationship,
07:54the pair's romance began in a similarly wholesome way.
07:56Speaking to People TV,
07:58Blunt recalled enjoying a night out at a restaurant with a friend
08:01when they spotted Krasinski.
08:02We were talking and discussing how much I was enjoying being single.
08:07And then she goes, oh my God, there's my friend John.
08:10And that was it.
08:11Although she was vaguely aware of his stardom from The Office,
08:14she credits their instant chemistry as the reason why she fell for him.
08:18When asked when she knew he was the one,
08:19the actress claims it was disarmingly soon.
08:22Considering they were engaged within months, we're inclined to believe her.
08:26He did not eat, he just stood there and made me laugh.
08:29There you go, and it's worked out.
08:30He just did a bit.
08:31Matthew McConaughey
08:32A heartthrob since the 90s,
08:34Matthew McConaughey was among Hollywood's most eligible bachelors
08:37until a certain someone stole his heart.
08:39I'm not even a club guy.
08:40This night I was a club guy.
08:42And I'm making margaritas at the end of the table,
08:44and this figure moves across the room.
08:49The actor has been in a relationship with Camila Alves since 2006,
08:53tying the knot in 2012.
08:55Admitting that he was happily single when she walked into his life,
08:58McConaughey describes being entranced by Alves from the moment he saw her.
09:02My eye went up, and I remember what came out of my mouth.
09:05I said, who is that?
09:06I went, what is that?
09:08And then that went and sat down, and I tried to get that's attention.
09:13And as I was trying to get that's attention across the room,
09:15it went in my head.
09:16I was like, this is not the kind of woman you call over across the room, McConaughey.
09:20Realizing that he couldn't just let her walk away,
09:22McConaughey made the first move, sparking a love that burns bright to this day.
09:26The actor believes that fate brought them together at the right time.
09:29Not all love stories are perfect, but McConaughey did find his happily ever after.
09:33The next night after that, I wanted to go on another date.
09:35And I've been wanting to go on a date with her for the last nine years,
09:39and not with anybody else.

09:57Freddie Prinze Jr.
09:58They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
10:01Freddie Prinze Jr. can definitely vouch for that.
10:03Far from a grand romantic gesture, it was watching Sarah Michelle Gellar
10:07enjoying dinner without a care in the world that won him over.
10:10We're friends for a very long time.
10:12We had many dinners before, and we were supposed to go with someone else,
10:15and the third person didn't make it out, and we decided to still go.
10:18In a Facebook live stream alongside Gellar,
10:20Prinze revealed his mind was made up on their first date.
10:23While previous girlfriends didn't share his tastes,
10:26Gellar munching down on whatever she pleased was incredibly endearing.
10:29Sarah came to dinner with me, and we sat down, and she ate everything,
10:33including a crab that they let walk across the counter,
10:38then kill while it was alive in some oil and said,
10:41it's popcorn, try it.
10:43And she ate it without even blinking.
10:45Proud to be with a person he considered legit,
10:48Prinze saw her as someone that he could share meals with for the rest of his life.
10:51After all, the couple who dine together stays together, right?
10:54Someone wrote, good morning with Sarah and Freddie.
10:56I'd watch that show.
10:58Our kids watch it every morning, and they are not amused.
