Celebrity Couples

Here are Some You May Not Know About...

Everyone knows certain celebrity couples. They come with annoying celebrity couples nicknames like Brangelina and TomKat. But there are some celebrity couples who are lower key. You may know each person is a celebrity, but did you know they were a couple? Here’s just a few of the
 lesser known, lower-key celebrity couples out there. And we can thank them later for staying out of the spotlight.

ELIZABETH VARGAS and MARC COHN
Elizabeth Vargas, out-going anchor of the “ABC Nightly News” and “20-20” anchor is one of the most famous women in journalism these days. However, did you know she had a famous husband? Singer Marc Cohn rounds out this celebrity couple. He is best known for his song “Walking In Memphis” which is something of a bluesy adult contemporary classic. He most recently made headlines for getting shot in a carjacking attempt last winter while on tour. He and Vargas are expecting a second child this year.

DIANE SAWYER and MIKE NICHOLS
Keeping with the theme of ABC newswomen, veteran journalist Diane Sawyer is one of the most famous female t.v. journalist of all time. Along with her work anchoring shows like “Good Morning America” and “Primetime Live” she also worked for CBS’s iconic “60 Minutes” back in the day. What you might not know is Sawyer’s also part of a celebrity couple. Her equally legendary husband is director Mike Nichols. Mike Nichols is behind such movies as 2004’s “Closer” and the classics “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” and “The Graduate.” He’s regarded as an A-list director who actors clamor to work with. Nichols is also the director of the current smash hit (and Tony winning) Broadway musical Spamalot starring David Hyde Pierce and Hank Azaria. (Sidebar – did you know Hank Azaria, also of Simpsons fame, was once married to Oscar-winner Helen Hunt?). He has a grammy and an Emmy, too, making him one of few who has all four of the “big” awards.
