"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a charming love story — and in real life, Vardalos had one of her own, at least for a time. Vardalos married fellow actor Ian Gomez in September 1993, and the two weren't shy about collaborating, with Gomez appearing in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" as well as Vardalos's other projects, like her 2009 film "I Hate Valentine's Day" (via ET).

After 25 years together, though, Vardalos and Gomez announced they were going their separate ways (via Us Weekly). "We've been respectfully separated for a lengthy period of time. Our relationship became a friendship so the decision to end the marriage is completely mutual and amicable," the couple said in their statement. "It is our hope that decency will prevail on the reporting of this story which will soon be yesterday's news." The pair share a daughter, Ilaria Vardalos Gomez.

Although the pair are no longer together romantically, Gomez recently shared that Vardalos has an idea for a third "Big Fat Greek Wedding" film (via Us Weekly). "She does have an idea for it. I can't tell you what that idea is. But I know the cast would all be into it. We'll see," he said. Gomez shared that the two are on "great terms" and he'd "absolutely" want to appear in the third film.

Hopefully, for all of the rom-com lovers out there — and Gomez — we'll finally get that third "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".
