Celebrities Who Got Married As Teenagers

Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson

Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson have a long history that began when they met on the set of The Harrad Experiment when Griffith was 14-years-old and Johnson was 22. They wed when Griffith was 18, but the marriage only lasted six months before they got divorced, and their problems were attributed to their drug and alcohol addictions. Griffith later told The Hollywood Reporter, “I thought he was the most beautiful person I’d ever seen.” Her mother, Tippi Hedren, told the publication she was in “sheer panic” about Griffith falling for an older man.

Nearly ten years after getting divorced, Griffith and Johnson ended up getting back together. In 1989, they remarried, and four months later, they had a daughter, actress Dakota Johnson. The two ended up separating in March 1994, reconciling later that year, then separating again in May 1995 before divorcing in 1996. In a 2018 interview with InStyle, Griffith said she doesn’t think marriage is “relevant for anyone anymore.”
