And It’s Beautiful: Celebrities Who Married Girls With Physical Disabilities

There are celebrities who make you reconsider your attitude to life, assess the situation more soberly. We’re talking about someone going through a really tough time, but not only is he not getting discouraged, he’s also inspiring thousands of people to succeed.

Nick Vuychich was born without arms and legs, but he was able not only to become a full member of modern society, but also to help others find their calling, overcome the crisis and not give up.

Nick has realized himself not only in work, but also in the family: he is married and has four children – completely healthy.

Or take Marley Matlin. When she was only one and a half years old, she became deaf in her right ear. After some time, having had complications after suffering from measles, the girl lost 80% of her hearing in her left ear. Marley’s parents tried to do everything to ensure that their daughter had a normal and full life.

Thus, Matlin became an actress, and a super-successful one. For her portrayal of Sarah Norman in Children of a Lesser God, Marley won the Academy Award for Best Leading Actress, becoming the youngest Oscar recipient and the first and only deaf actress to win such an award.

In 2013, after splitting from Keira Knightley, Pride and Prejudice star Rupert Friend introduced his new girlfriend, American athlete and model Aimee Mullins. The girl is five years older than her famous boyfriend, but then the public brought up something else, namely: her physical disability.

Even in early childhood, Amy lost both legs below the knee due to congenital pathology. Despite this, she continued to lead an active lifestyle and even took part in professional sports – running and long jumping, which allowed her to participate in the Paralympic Games. So, in 1996 in Atlanta, she set two world records, running one hundred meters in 17.01 seconds and jumping 3.14 meters in length. The fame that Mullins received through her athletic successes led her in the right and important direction – she became a speaker and a source of motivation for anyone with a physical disability. Amy is also a model and actress.

Of course, such a bright, talented and strong (and beautiful!) personality could only attract attention. Rupert was hit. After a year of relationship, he makes her a marriage proposal. On May 1, 2016, Friend and Mullins got married.

After Paul McCartney was widowed (Linda Eastman died of breast cancer) it seemed like no one could bring him back to life – they lived with his wife for 30 years together and over the years they never Were separated only once a week. However, a year after the death of his wife, Paul met her – former model Heather Mills. And he lost his temper.

They met at the Pride of Britain Awards in April 1999. The musician was bothered neither by the 26-year age difference nor by her physical disability. The fact is that in 1993 in London, Heather was run over by a police motorcycle. Among the many injuries was a serious injury to the left leg. To save Mills’ life, doctors had to amputate his leg six inches below the knee. Having become a disabled person, the girl did not give up – on the contrary, she decided to be useful to society. Heather sold her story to journalists and with the proceeds she started the Heather Mills Health Trust, which recycles discarded dentures.

In fact, as a philanthropist, Mills found herself at the event where she met McCartney. The affair with him was stormy and passionate: already in June 2002 the lovers got married, and in October 2003 Heather gave birth to a daughter, Beatrice Milli.

Alas, the spouses failed to build their “Happy forever”. Already in 2006 they began to live separately, and two years later they divorced with a scandal in front of everyone. In compensation, McCartney paid his ex-wife £24million.

Yes, in this story, the star is rather Margarita herself, but the star is reluctant. Everyone knows the story of how Gracheva’s husband cut off her hands in a fit of jealousy. One of the doctors managed to save. What is amazing in this story is Margarita, her courage and her joie de vivre.

The girl, by her example, showed that you cannot bury yourself in your grief, but turn that page and live on. Margarita published a book, started working as a model, fought for women’s rights and even allowed herself to fall in love again. His heart was able to win over the candidate for the mastery of chess sports and the builder Maxim Andryushchenko, who was bothered neither by the noisy glory of the chosen one, nor by the presence of two children, nor by a prosthesis at instead of his right hand. The couple are happy together, and not so long ago they became the parents of a son, whose name was Yaroslav.
