MEN KNOW! Celebrity men discuss how they knew their wives were “The One” Almost Immediately

How and when make celebrities knew she was the one:

NICK JONAS ON PRIYANKA CHOPRA

“Think I got to know her so well as a friend first, which then made it really easy when we started dating to say, 'Wow this is the person and I know, right off the bat.' So it happened very fast, within days of us diving in. I told [my brothers] a week after our first date, 'I'm going to propose later this year.' “

PRINCE HARRY ON MEGHAN MARKLE

"The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect. It was this beautiful woman just sort of literally tripped and fell into my life, I fell into her life." When asked when he knew she was the one, Harry said with a smile: “The very first time we met.”

JOE MANGANIELLO ON SOFIA VERGARA

"I knew [she was the one] like right away. She was in New Orleans shooting this movie so I was flying back and forth to date her.”

STEPHEN COLBERT ON EVELYN MCGEE-COLBERT

"I walk in [to a theater lobby] and I see across the lobby this woman —I think for the first time, not girl, woman — beautiful woman in a black linen dress, and I think 'Her.' Honest to God, I thought 'There's your wife, you're going to marry her.' And I thought, 'That's crazy …' "

KANYE WEST ON KIM KARDASHIAN

"Our love story's a love story for the ages. I felt like when we first got together, it was like a Romeo and Juliet kinda thing where it's like she's a reality star and I'm a rapper."

DAVID AND VICTORIA BECKHAM

David Beckham knew Victoria was the one for him the very first time he saw her, and that was before he even met her. While watching a Spice Girls video, the soccer stud reportedly pointed out Posh Spice and told his friend that he was going to marry her. After they did finally meet, she agreed and said it was “completely love at first sight.”

GEORGE AND AMAL CLOONEY

“I think it was about three days in I knew she was the one,” he said.

TIM MCGRAW AND FAITH HILL

In 1996, they went on tour together, and that’s when the sparks really flew. Several months later, they walked down the aisle.

DAVID BOWIE ON IMAN

"My attraction to her was immediate and all-encompassing. I couldn't sleep for the excitement of our first date," Bowie told HELLO! . "That she would be my wife, in my head, was a done deal. I'd never gone after anything in my life with such passion in all my life. I just knew she was the one."

TOM HANKS AND RITA WILSON

When they starred in the movie "Volunteers" together in 1985, Tom knew Rita was the one. "Rita and I just looked at each other and - kaboing - that was that. I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her, and it just couldn't be denied," Tom said to GQ, per Good Housekeeping.

DENZEL WASHINGTON ON PAULETTA WASHINGTON

Denzel Washington says he proposed to Pauletta Washington three times before she accepted. "You heard it here first," Denzel said on the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of his film, "2 Guns," per E Online. "She turned me down, she said no. And since it was three times, that means she turned me down twice."

HUGH JACKMAN ON DEBORRA-LEE FURNESS

“I knew two weeks into meeting Deb that we were going to be together for the rest of our lives,” the actor told Today in 2018.

JOHN KRASINSKI ON EMILY BLUNT

It didn't take long John to fall head-over-heels for her. He told Ellen DeGeneres he wasn't looking for a relationship at the time, "But I met her, and I was so nervous and I was like, ‘Oh no I’m going to fall in love with her.’"

CHRIS HEMSWORTH ON ELSA PATAKY

Chris revealed he met Elsa on a blind date set up by their reps and immediately knew she was the one. They started dating in 2010. Chris told Elle, "From the first time we met, we just made sense. She's fun. She's outgoing, and she has a sense of humor and a passionate attitude toward life, which is nice to try to keep up with."

ALEX RODRIGUEZ ON JENNIFER LOPEZ

Friends of the baseball player would later tell Page Six that Rodriguez spent months trying to find the exact perfect ring. “He wanted to get it right,” the source said. “The proposal has been a long time coming. Alex knew she was the one and has been painstakingly planning everything.”

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY ON CAMILA ALVES

On that first date, "I knew then. I said the next night after that, I want to go out on another date. The next night after that, I wanted to go another date. And I've been wanting to go on a date with her for the last nine years. And not with anybody else."

CHRIS O’DONNELL & CAROLINE FENTRESS

Scent of a Woman and Batman franchise star Chris O’Donnell met Caroline Fentress via his sister, who was her college roommate. For O’Donnell, it was love at first kiss, or as he likes to say, “As soon as I kissed her, I knew she was the one.”

JASON MOMOA ON LISA BONET

When Jason Momoa, 39, and Lisa Bonet, 51, first met in 2005 at a jazz club in New York City through mutual friends, the Aquaman actor was immediately smitten. “We just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” he told James Corden on the Late Late Show last year about their first meeting. “I actually had dreaded my hair for her. I had dreadlocks, she had dreadlocks. I literally turned around and I see her and she goes, ‘I’m Lisa.’ I turned around to my friend and I [pretended to scream]. I had f—ing fireworks going off inside, man. I convinced her to take me home, because I was living in a hotel.” His love for Bonet began when he was 8 and he saw her on TV. “I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one,’” Momoa told Corden. “I’m like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m going to get you.”

The takeaway here is NOT whether the relationship work out or not -- like in case of Kanye and Kim -- but about when men say "I don't know where this is going -- THAT'S A F**KING LIE.

They know where this is going -- nowhere. It is going nowhere because YOU ARE NOT WHAT HE WANTS. You are just a convenient warm body -- for now. Stop giving yourself away freely, easily, and pathetically to a man who DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!
