Ugly Betty star Becki Newton met her husband of two years when the couple walked past each other on a New York City subway platform. The 28-year-old spotted fellow actor Chris Diamantopoulos during rush hour.

She says, "We actually met in Times Square on the subway platform. I was walking one way... and he was walking the other way. So we walked by each other and we had that moment where we looked at each other. And I started laughing because he was cute and he busted me checking him out.

"I kept walking and 30 seconds later felt a little tap on my shoulder (and he said), 'Excuse me, I think I might be lost.' I said, 'Mmm, I don't think you are.' He said, 'Maybe you're lost?' I said, 'No.' And he said, 'This area's very confusing, maybe we should just figure this out together.'"

After riding the subway together, Diamantopoulos asked Newton if she wanted to see him onstage in "The Full Monty."

She recalls, "He said, 'I don't want to be too forward but maybe you'd like to come see me naked on Broadway sometime.' So I did and now we're married."
