While there are some instances that I do, one area that I find it hard to believe is Hollywood relationships. So many end in divorce after divorce.
But after hearing the love story of Dustin Hoffman and his wife Lisa, just like myself, you may rethink how fate works in Hollywood.
While Dustin Hoffman, 84, and Lisa Hoffman, 67, tied the knot in 1980, the two met many years earlier.
The story goes that Dustin’s mother and Lisa’s grandmother were good friends and saw each other often as they lived in the same apartment complex in Los Angeles.
Dustin, who initially wanted to be a classical pianist, even performed at Lisa’s parents’ wedding while her mother was pregnant with her.
The couple joke that Lisa must have heard Dustin playing and fallen in love with him at that moment.
It wouldn’t be until many years later when a 27-year-old Dustin found himself hanging out with a 10-year-old Lisa and her 8-year-old brother that she had a feeling he’d be in her life forever.
“Dustin was telling us jokes, playing the piano and encouraging me to dance around the living room. After we got together, my grandmother reminded me that later that day I had said, ‘I hope he waits for me because I want to marry him.’”
