Celebrities and A-List stars are known for keeping healthy lifestyles, adjusting to strict fitness routines, and maintaining a balanced diet. Most of our fan-favorite celebs always have the help of their team, which includes nutritionists and personal trainers, to make sure they accomplish their goals and workout plans.

However,  trainers and celebrities end up forming strong friendships and sometimes even relationships while working together. This is the case for many in Hollywood, resulting in longtime romances, marriages, and families.
