Ah, stars — they're just like us! They even date like us. Which is to say, via dating apps.

A concrete reality of modern relationships, online dating is by now a very common practice. And while some people are still hesitant to admit they've tried these apps out, many celebrities have themselves owned up to making use of such platforms, from Tinder to Bumble to Raya.

Curious as to which celebrities you might just meet online? Check out their names below:

 

Lizzo

In an interview with Busy Philipps, the pop queen said that she has a profile on the dating app Raya (you know, the one for famous people). "I've done Raya. I tried to match with John Mayer — it didn't work," Lizzo proclaimed. 

 

 

Sharon Stone

Sometimes, having a famous name doesn't work in your favour. At least, in Sharon Stone's case! The Basic Instinct star tried to join Bumble, but her account got blocked as other users thought it was fake. Luckily for Stone, Bumble quickly restored her profile, so she could get back in the game. 

 

 

Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer is living proof that you can find lasting relationships online. In her book, The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo, the actress and comedian shared that she met her ex Ben Hanisch on a "private social network aimed at creative people", which a lot of people have speculated is Raya. Schumer is now married to Chris Fischer, with whom she has a one-year-old son. 

 

 

Chace Crawford

Fan of Chace Crawford? The good news is the actor has been on not just one, but several dating apps. "I was chatting to a friend about speed dating and JDate.com — and I'm not even Jewish," the former Gossip Girl star said. "I have a bunch of accounts that no one even knows about."

 

 

Channing Tatum

Following his breakup with Jessie J, Channing Tatum was spotted on Raya. According to a source, his profile reads, "And yes, I used to be a stripper. Sorry." Nothing like honesty on a dating site!

 

 

Kiernan Shipka

It's safe to say Kiernan Shipka is a fan of Raya. She once declared in an interview, "Raya for life. Love it. God bless Raya." 

 

 

Hilary Duff

Yes, even Lizzie McGuire has been on a dating app. Before she got together with her husband Matthew Koma, Hilary Duff was a Tinder user, and once talked to nine men at once! She called the experience "wildly addicting". 

 

 

Zac Efron

You'd think Zac Efron wouldn't have any trouble getting a date, but back in 2016, the actor also joined the ranks of Tinder users. Sadly, no one swiped him, because they all thought it was a fake profile. Our loss.
