In an enchanting turn of events straight from a rom-com script, Jamie Lee Curtis revealed the odd yet captivating way she and Christopher Guest’s love story began. It all started in 1984 when she spotted Guest’s picture in Rolling Stone and declared to her friend, Debra Hill, that she would marry him—without even knowing who he was! What a bold declaration, right?
As fate would have it, two months later, their paths crossed at a restaurant, and although they just exchanged waves, that moment ignited a connection that led them to a first date and a whirlwind romance. They were engaged by September and married by December of the same year. Curtis reflects on their 41 years together and admits their journey hasn’t always been easy, but the commitment they made to one another has proven rock-solid. Their story beautifully shows that love can often come in the most unexpected ways, as long as you’re open to it.
