Emily Blunt and John Krasinski both worked on "A Quiet Place" together, and will collaborate again for the sequel.
Blunt and Krasinski have been married since 2010. In 2018's "A Quiet Place," the pair played two parents trying to raise their family after human-attacking aliens invade the planet. Krasinski also directed the film.
Even though Krasinski's character dies at the end of the 2018 horror film, it looks as though he'll reappear in flashbacks in the upcoming sequel, "A Quiet Place II" — also directed by the former "Office" star.
Dave Franco and Alison Brie worked on the upcoming thriller "The Rental" together.
Franco and Brie married in 2017. The two recently collaborated on "The Rental" together, with Franco directing and Brie starring in the deliciously creepy horror flick.
Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak famously met while they were both writing for "The Office."
Even though it seems like these former "Office" writers are just good friends nowadays, the pair did date while they were both working on the NBC sitcom.
"No one, including us, ever really knew, 'Is this dating? Is this not dating?' We were never really dating, we were never really not dating. We didn't know. No one knew," Novak said of their relationship in a 2012 interview. "All you'd know for sure was that you'd always find one of us next to the other, even if we weren't getting along."
"Señorita" is a collaboration between Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes.
The musicians released their hit single in 2019 and even gave a steamy performance at the American Music Awards in December.
Cabello recently revealed that she'd love to make more music with Mendes, who she's currently dating since 2019, but that being in love has gotten in the way.
"I want more, we want more, but honestly, we're being in our 20s," she said during an interview in early March. "Being in love is exhausting, it takes it out of you."
Cabello added, "We can't even go to the studio. We're trying to calm down."
Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach worked together on films like "Frances Ha."
The filmmaking couple met on the set of Baumbach's 2010 film "Greenberg," and began a relationship shortly thereafter, following Baumbach's divorce from his first wife, Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Since then, Baumbach and Gerwig have collaborated on several films, including 2012's "Frances Ha" and "Mistress America" in 2015.
Gerwig's own films have garnered plenty of critical acclaim in recent years. She told Vogue in 2019 that she would have been a filmmaker even without her relationship with Baumbach.
"I think I was hell-bent on making my own films, so I would've done it anyway," she said.

Even though the two have only been dating for a few months, Cyrus directed Simpson in the nautical-themed music video for his song "Captain's Dance with the Devil."
