When it comes to romance, your average celebrity is just as anxious to make some sort of amorous gesture as the rest of us. And just as clueless sometimes as to how to do the right thing. Even though they may have private jets at their disposal or a limitless bank account, most celebs prefer a simple show of affection as opposed to any lavish display. Some, however, mark the occasion with some interesting and even poignant preparations to surprise their partner.
Many celebrities, however, confess that the season where love is in the air, can leave them very cold indeed, particularly when they're single and somber.
Le City Deluxe interviewed some of Hollywood’s most known celebrities to find out how the movie stars commemorate the season of love.
FEB-MAR 2014 DAVID BECKHAM
Becks has the dreamy admiration of women
the world over. The soccer star who is planning
Blake Lively
to purchase a soccer stadium in Miami, pulled off a particularly romantic surprise for Victoria in 2011, when he flew out to America after training in England to take her to New York restaurant, Minetta Tavern for a candlelit dinner. It was rumored he then took her for a stroll down to the Brooklyn Bridge, back to the area that inspired the name for their first son.
The couple’s three sons weren’t traveling with David, who had come over to spend the day with Victoria on their own, and enjoy their first time together on the holiday for seven years. With the two celebrities now having such monumental careers, it was a romantic move from them both who said in a BBC interview, “we knew as soon as we met that we knew we were perfect for each other.”
MARK WAHLBERG Several years ago, Mark Wahlberg decided to surprise his wife Rhea with an elaborately planned surprise. “A couple of years ago on Valentine’s day, I just pretended the whole day that I didn't even
know it was Valentine's Day," Wahlberg recalls. "We didn't speak the whole day. I left around lunch to meet some producers, but I had one of Rhea's friends take her out shopping late in the afternoon." "But when she got back, I had the house filled with flowers and little presents all over the place. I also had this trail of rose petals, which created a path up the stairs and directly into the bedroom. She loved it, although maybe it was too much, because she started crying and then I started to get kind of emotional, too. But it was a really beautiful day."
BLAKE LIVELY One of the hottest women in Hollywood and an avid chef who one day intends to open her own restaurant, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively loves to show appreciation for her husband Ryan Reynolds by cooking a romantic dinner for two. “Ryan is wonderful when it comes to surprising me on special occasions," Lively reveals. “I love to cook something special for Ryan. Something that he loves. "
