Who knew so many reality stars were on Tinder?
The advent of social media and dating apps has changed the way a lot of us find love, and for celebrities, it's no different. Basically, the lead actor from your favorite CW show is just as likely to slide into someone's DMs or swipe right on them as Brad from your econ class is.
In fact, a surprising number of celeb relationships began online, through both social media and dating apps. However, a lot them also still meet the old-fashioned way (aka in real life).
Here are 21 celeb couples who started in the DMs:
