There was a point where online dating was only for those who had been unlucky in love for a long time and were willing to find any algorithm that landed them a date after a lengthy dry spell. By 2017, pretty much any single person you speak to has some experience with Tinder or similar apps and services, normalising this as the main way people are meeting their prospective partners.
Yet it turns out that even more people are using online dating to find love than we initially thought. Specifically, even the rich, beautiful and famous are trying the enterprise out. Check out this full list and see which celebrities braved the world of online dating to find the right person.

2. Halle Berry
Berry has revealed that she didn't have much luck using online dating, though she has done it anonymously. Speaking to the BBC, she said: "When I decided to say: 'Oh by the way, the person you've been chatting with for a week is me, Halle Berry,' they thought I was just some kook."
