Lights, camera, romance!  Couples with great on-screen chemistry often continue their hugging and squeezing long after the director calls cut. Britney Spears and boyfriend, Jason Trawick, displayed some <i>very</i> public affection in her new music video, "Criminal," which debuted this week.  Wow. Brit and Jason are still going strong (at press time, you know how these things go,) but not all reel-to-real couples have happy endings. Take a look at some of our favorite on-to-off screen romances through the years. <a href="http://www.toofab.com/2011/10/18/britney-spears-criminal-music-video-jason-trawick/" target="_blank">WATCH: Brit and Jason Get Busy on 'Criminal.'</a>

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman DeVito met his now wife when the pair co-starred as an on-again, off-again couple in "Taxi." They have been together ever since 1982.  That's like a hundred years in Hollywood.   (Reuters)

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling Fans of "The Notebook" were happy to find out that McAdams and Gosling's on-screen romance continued off-screen when the actors began dating a few months after the film was released. "God bless 'The Notebook,'' Gosling told GQ magazine. 'It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.' Guess not Ryan - their two-year relationship fizzled out in 2007. (New Line Cinema)

<b>George Burns and Gracie Allen</b> The real-life married couple established themselves on the radio with "The Burns and Allen Show" which later became one of America's first Must See TV shows. (Delta)

"It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes," Pattinson admitted to U.K.'s The Sun. "I mean, it's like, 'Come on guys, it's so obvious!'" Stewart said in the November 2011 issue of GQ. Like, we're so sorry. (Summit Entertainment)

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer If the love scenes between Bill and Sookie on HBO's "True Blood" seemed a little too real, well that's because TV's sexiest vampires got hitched after meeting on set.
