It turns out that Jessica Chastain was nominated for an Oscar the same day she met Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo. The actress had been pulled into a fashion show at the last minute, and also found out her work in "The Help" was being considered by the Academy (via CBS News). "It was the beginning of my career and then I met my future husband, so who knew?" Chastain said at the time, adding, "I know, it's probably the best day I ever had."
The pair would go on to date for five years, and then say "I do" in a gorgeous Italian ceremony. People notes the nuptials took place at a family property called Villa Tiepolo Passi, where Passi de Preposulo's father, Count Alberto Passi de Preposulo, lives — the villa is also sometimes rented out for events. Incredibly, Chastain's in-laws can trace their heritage back to the year 973. And, interestingly, even though the family has a documented noble past, the Italian aristocracy was dissolved in 1946 and thus, Chastain isn't officially a countess, despite her marriage to a count. No matter. She is still seemingly happily married and now has two children with her husband (via Us Weekly).
