8. How They Met
Surprisingly, this love story started with a drunken encounter! In an interview with Elle, the Big Little Lies actress revealed how she first met her husband, Jim Toth, and it’s a pretty funny story! According to her, an extremely drunk guy started hitting on her when Toth intervened. “He was like (slurring), ‘You don’t know me.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I know. I don’t know you!’ Jim came over and said, ‘Please excuse my friend. He’s just broken up with someone.’ And I remember thinking, his friend is such an a–, what a jerk.
