They\u2019ve been happily married for almost a decade and share two children, Patricia, four, and two-year-old Freddie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But TV presenter Christine Lampard and former footballer turned manager Frank Lampard may never have met and fallen head over heels without the helping hand of journalist and former Good Morning Britain presenter, Piers Morgan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recalling when she first met Frank, Christine, 44, explained: \u201cIt was October 6, 2009, the Grosvenor House Hotel [in London].<\/p>\n

\u201cI was doing the One Show at the time and I was worried about coming in late but I thought, 'No, I am going to go\u2019 then Frank decided last minute – so technically neither of us was meant to be there at all.<\/p>\n

COURTENEY COX AND JOHNNY MCDAID \u2013 SET UP BY ED SHEERAN<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He\u2019s famed for writing catchy love songs \u2013 and it turns out singer Ed Sheeran has got the credentials to back it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Ed became close with Friends actress Courteney Cox, he began hanging out at her house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2013, she threw a star-studded gathering and Ed asked if he could bring his mate along \u2013 Snow<\/span> Patrol\u2019s Johnny McDaid.<\/p>\n

Ed explained: \u201cI introduced her to my best mate Johnny, who I wrote Shape of You and Bad Habits with.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe just invited me round her house and I just kept going round and then one day I brought Johnny and he didn\u2019t come home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair went on to start a relationship, and Johnny popped the question a year later. They briefly split in 2015, but rekindled their romance in 2016 and have been together ever since.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And just earlier this year, mum-of-one Courteney, 59, thanked Ed, 32, for helping her get her happy ending alongside the 47-year-old musician.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a sweet montage posted to social media to celebrate ten years together, Courteney shared a snap<\/span> of Ed and Johnny together, as she wrote: \u201c10 years ago, this guy introduced me to\u2026this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

ED SHEERAN AND CHERRY SEABORN<\/span> \u2013 SET UP BY TAYLOR SWIFT<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

After setting up his best mate, karma came back around to help Ed Sheeran out \u2013 step forward Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

Ed and Cherry Seaborn knew one another from a young age as they went to school together.<\/p>\n

But it was only when chart-topper Taylor threw an epic 4th July party that the two connected on a romantic level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ed explained: \u201cSo the story was, I was at Taylor's party, and then a girl I went to school with who's really cool ended up being in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe's like, 'I'm in Rhode Island!' And I was like, 'Taylor, can she turn up?'<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Taylor was like, \u2018Yeah!\u2019 And here we are\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Since, Ed has had a muse for all of his songwriting, as he and Cherry tied the knot in 2019. They\u2019ve since become parents to daughters Lyra, three, and Jupiter, one.<\/p>\n

Speaking about their family unit, Ed has said: \u201cIt just feels like what life was meant to be. It's great.\u201d Aww!<\/p>\n

STANLEY TUCCI AND FELICITY BLUNT \u2013 SET UP BY EMILY BLUNT<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Devil Wears Prada is one of Emily Blunt\u2019s most iconic roles to date \u2013 but it\u2019s also close to her heart for a very different reason.<\/p>\n

While working on the 2006 hit film, Emily, 40, met co-star Stanley Tucci \u2013 who was then married to his late wife Kate \u2013 and they became firm friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So much so that Stanley, 62, attended Emily\u2019s Italian nuptials to husband John Krasinski in 2010. Stanley\u2019s first wife had sadly passed away and, while there, he met Emily\u2019s literary agent sister.<\/p>\n

The two connected and began dating \u2013 something that, according to sources at the time \u2013 was something Emily was thrilled to have helped come to fruition.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmily loved Stanley on the set of Devil, and just thought they would hit it off, so she set them up,\u201d a friend of Emily\u2019s was reported to say. \u201cFelicity is a lovely person and very warm and comforting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since, Stanley and Felicity have gone on to get married in a low-key ceremony in 2012 and welcomed two children. They also co-authored the 2014 book, The Tucci Table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking about their relationship, he said: \u201c\u201cI consider myself very, very lucky to be married to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe met after I had experienced a great loss and she brought joy into my life and still does.\u201d<\/p>\n

CAMERON DIAZ AND BENJI MADDEN<\/span> \u2013 SET UP BY NICOLE RICHIE<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It might sound like a plot out of one of her romcoms, but Cameron Diaz\u2019 marriage is all thanks to Nicole Richie, who made sure they were in the same room at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nicole and her husband Joel Madden were at an event with Joel\u2019s twin Benji and Cameron.<\/p>\n

Nicole then reportedly introduced the pair, as she has joked in the past that she\u2019s the reason for their lasting romance. Speaking of her brother-in-law\u2019s relationship, she said: \u201cI'm going to take responsibility for everything! I approve of anything that's going to make Benji happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cameron, 51, has confessed that Nicole and Joel definitely played a part in her and 44-year-old Benji\u2019s love story, as she said: \u201cWe were in the same room because of them, and then we found each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
