It’s a slow news week before the Labor Day holiday, which means: More seriously random lists! Like this one, wherein we endeavor (successfully or not) to blow your minds by informing you of industry couples you may not have known existed. Not included, because we’re assuming that most of you are old enough to know the marital history of Patricia Arquette, are her marriages to Nic Cage and Thomas Jane (pictured, above). Also, Guy Pearce and Game of Thrones’ Carice Van Houton are not married and recent enough that you probably already know (also, they have a child together now).

Jay Roach, the director of Austin Powers and Meet the Parents, is married to Susanna Hoffs, the lead singer of the ’80s band, The Bangles.

Bonus: Everyone probably knows this, but with the popularity of HBO’s Succession right now, I’ll add Keeley Hawes (Ashes to Ashes, Upstairs Downstairs, every British show, ever) and Matthew MacFadyen, because I love them.
