Love is a complicated matter; it knows no boundaries, not even the sacred bond of marriage. While some might say that working together in a romantic setting can create a spark between two people, the same could be said about co-stars in a movie or a TV show. Many married actors and actresses have fallen in love on the set with a co-star who was not their spouse. This phenomenon has caught the attention of many and has sparked a lot of discussion among the general public.
