Behati Prinsloo, Kate Moss and Lily Aldridge and 7 Other Supermodels Who Married Rock Stars

Why does the bad boy always seem to snag the beauty? A guitar seems to help, seeing as in the rock-star-meets-model universe, it’s pretty much par for the course. This past Saturday, Maroon 5 frontman—and reformed Victoria’s Secret modelizer—Adam Levine tied the knot with supermodel Behati Prinsloo in Mexico, joining a legion of fellow rockers and runway walkers who have done the same. (Maybe it has something to do with an implicit understanding of impossible travel schedules?)

Among the more memorable unions? In 2005 Karen Elson headed to the altar with White Stripes singer Jack White, while in 2011, Kate Moss wed the Kills’s Jamie Hince in the English countryside—the same year that Victoria’s Secret stunner Lily Aldridge married Kings of Leon lead singer Caleb Followill.
 

Predating the rocker-model weddings of the 2000s, there were also the striking unions between Iman and David Bowie, Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel, Yasmin Parvaneh and Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, and Paulina Porizkova and The Cars’s Ric Ocasek. (And while it may have only been a music video, Stephanie Seymour’s wedding dress–sporting turn in then boyfriend Axl Rose’s video for Guns N’ Roses’s “November Rain” certainly bears mentioning. 

 [Ed. note: And Googling, if you haven’t seen it.]) Rolling Stones bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards both married cover girls as well: Richards took Patti Hansen’s hand in marriage in 1983, while Jagger said his vows to Jerry Hall in an unofficial Balinese ceremony in 1990.

So, in honor of the latest match made in tabloid heaven, a history of (mostly!) harmonious happily ever afters to strum on those heart strings.
