Jay Leno & Mavis Leno | 40 Years
Jay Leno’s dedication to his relationship with philanthropist and feminist Mavis is admirable. It was 1976 when Leno was delivering a performance at The Comedy Store, and it would prove to be a special one because that’s when he met Mavis. They soon hosted friends and family who witnessed them exchange vows by November 1980.
While things remain sweet between him and Mavis, Leno found himself at the receiving end of backlash for supporting Ellen DeGeneres in 2020. DeGeneres faced public criticism over allegations of inappropriate and toxic behavior in the workplace, but Leno still had her back.
Craig Melvin & Lindsay Czarniak | 13 Years
Lindsay Czarniak and Craig Melvin fell in love on account of their shared interests. They are both TV reporters, with Czarniak working for Fox Sports while Melvin is an NBC anchor. They also both love Whatchamacallit candy bars and live music.
The pair met in 2008, got married in 2011, and have grown their family and filled it with laughter from their two children since. The kids must have been proud of their dad when he co-hosted NBC’s traditional broadcast, showcasing the lighting of the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center in December 2020.
Loni Anderson & Bob Flick – 13 Years
When Loni Anderson and Bob Flick first crossed paths in the ’60s, she was a still-unknown young talent, and he was already a famous musician from The Brothers Four. It took several years and the WKRP in Cincinnati star getting a divorce from the late Burt Reynolds before they met each other again.
The fourth time seems like the charm for Anderson as she and the Greenfields singer are still going strong. She continues to work on the small screen, last appearing in a 2020 episode of My Sister Is So Gay. Meanwhile, Flick still performs and has celebrated his band’s 60th anniversary in 2019 with a tour.

These days, they reside in Los Angeles after raising three children together.

Meanwhile, Nixon is busy doing charity work and giving back to his hometown of Macon, Georgia.
Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas – 21 Years
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas’ two-decade marriage is proof that age is but a number for two people in love. Despite their 25-year age gap, The Mask of Zorro actress and the Basic Instinct actor made things work and are now raising two children together.
Interestingly, it seems like Douglas, a cancer survivor in his 70s, is more active in the entertainment scene today. He’s working on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, set to be released in 2022. Meanwhile, Zeta-Jones only occasionally returns to the screen, the latest being an appearance in an episode of Prodigal Son in 2021.

Bo Derek & John Corbett – 19 Years
When you and your beau are as committed as Bo Derek and John Corbett, marriage is just a bonus. However, the long-time couple doesn’t seem to have plans of getting hitched any time soon. For now, the Bolero actress is content enjoying Corbett’s comforting presence in her life.
Derek’s decision to take things easy is also reflected in her not being as active in acting. She last appeared in the 2020 Hallmark movie J.L. Family Ranch 2. Meanwhile, the My Big Fat Greek Wedding actor found fame among younger audiences thanks to his work on the Netflix film series To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.
Rose Byrne & Bobby Cannavale – 9 Years
If Rose Byrne’s role in the 2020 series Mrs. America is any indication, she doesn’t subscribe hugely to the traditions. She seems to have the same attitude when it comes to romantic relationships. Byrne began a family with Boardwalk Empire actor Bobby Cannavale before thinking about marriage.
Close to nine years and two children later, she considers him her husband even without the grand ceremony or the fancy ring. Judging from their busy schedules, they might not have time to exchange vows officially any time soon. Cannavale is busy with the upcoming Sing sequel set for a 2021 release, while Byrne has ventured into executive producing with Seriously Red.
Tyler Christopher & Brienne Pedigo – 13 Years
Tyler Christopher and his former reporter wife, Brienne Pedigo, have been through some ups and downs during their marriage. In 2019, news of his arrest for public intoxication broke out. The incident happened on his 47th birthday and landed him a stay at an Indiana county jail.
Fortunately, Pedigo, who manages a pilates studio, chose to stick with the former Days of Our Lives actor. If his social media posts are any indication, the Daytime Emmy Award winner seems to be doing better as he bonds with his two children.
Ingo Rademacher & Ehiku Rademacher – 11 Years
Long-time General Hospital cast member Ingo Rademacher is not only lucky to have a successful career in television. He’s been blessed in the romance department, too. He found the love of his life, his now-wife Ehiku, while at a beach in Hawaii and won her affections soon after.
It’s no doubt that life has been pretty good to the couple and their family looking at Rademacher’s beach-themed Instagram posts. In early 2021, he excitedly announced that they are expecting their third child together. The couple already shares two sons, Peanut and Pohaku.
Melissa Gorga & Joe Gorga | 17 Years

Well, she’s not single anymore, and she hasn’t been for a while! Flicker married the car salesman Michael Campanella in 2012, and the two have been inseparable since. According to The New York Post, they listed their New Jersey home for $3.8 million in April 2021.

She was also featured in the blockbuster “Mad Max: Fury Road,” where she met her husband, stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen. Keough and Smith-Petersen exchanged vows in 2015, the same year “Mad Max: Fury Road” was released, and have been an item ever since.
Taylor Swift & Joe Alwyn | 4 Years

Kaley Cuoco & Karl Cook | 5 Years
Even the best love stories can have an expiration date. In September 2021, the American actress Kaley Cuoco and the equestrian Karl Cook announced their separation after five years of marriage. The split was friendly, and the couple released a statement saying, “our current paths have taken us in opposite directions.”
Best known for her role as ‘Penny’ in the popular sitcom “The Big Bang Theory,” Cuoco’s found much success following the show’s end in 2019. She starred in the Max Original series “The Flight Attendant” and made it to the cast of the 2022 movie “The Man From Toronto,” also starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart.
Jim Parsons & Todd Spiewak | 19 Years
More than an LGTBQ icon, the American actor Jim Parsons is also a comedy superstar. He made the world fall in love with ‘Sheldon Cooper,’ his unforgettable character in “The Big Bang Theory,” and reprised the role in the spin-off series “Young Sheldon.” In 2021, he starred in the TV movie comedy “So Much.”
Parsons came out of the closet in 2012 and revealed in the same year that he’d been romantically involved with art director Todd Spiewak for a whole decade. Still together, Parsons and Spiewak make for a strong, committed celebrity couple and have exchanged vows in a 2017 New York City ceremony.
Oprah Winfrey & Stedman Graham | 35 Years
Can you think of a more significant cultural phenomenon than “The Oprah Winfrey Show?” Named after its famous host, the talk show aired from 1986 to 2011 and turned Oprah into a bonafide A-list celebrity. Since leaving the daytime show, Oprah’s mainly been busy working as a producer. She helped many series to come to life, including “Queen Sugar” and the 2022 productions “The Kings of Napa” and “The Hair Tales.”
Oprah’s been romantically involved with the same man since 1986, but the two never found the need to make it official. The lucky guy is the American author/businessman Stedman Graham.
Lea Thompson & Howard Deutch – 32 Years
Some Kind of Wonderful may not be Lea Thompson’s main claim to fame, but we don’t doubt the film still holds a special place in her heart. It was through the 1987 teen movie that she met her husband, director Howard Deutch. The years that followed saw them collaborate some more, like on the show Caroline in the City and raising their two daughters, Madelyn and Zoey, also actresses.
Thompson still acts and anticipates the release of the comedy Mark, Mary, & Some Other People in 2021. Deutch has a celebrated career in entertainment that earned him a net worth of $25 million.
Bryce Dallas Howard & Seth Gabel – 15 Years
Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel are raising a lovely family, but you wouldn’t know that because of how protective they are of their private life. This choice is understandable, considering Howard was brought up in the same way by her famous father, Ron Howard.
The good news is that fans can still get more of the Jurassic World actress and the Salem actor. In 2021, it was announced that they are collaborating on a project that would see them voice characters for the upcoming PlayStation game Maquette. They would play a romantic couple in the game’s virtual world.
Susan Saint James & Dick Ebersol – 40 Years
Looking from the outside, it’s easy to believe that Susan Saint James and Dick Ebersol had a perfect life. He’s the former chairman of NBC Sports. She’s an Emmy-winning actress whose work includes the hit sitcom titled Kate & Allie. However, their charmed life changed upon their son’s tragic death in a private jet crash in 2004.
Luckily, the couple’s marriage was able to survive the tragedy, moving forward since and now being in their 40th year together. After a years-long hiatus, Saint James returned to acting with a small role in The Haunting of Bly Manor in 2020.
Scott Bakula & Chelsea Field – 22 Years
Scott Bakula and Chelsea Field are a couple who took their time in dating before getting hitched. It seems they made the right choice to wait as the couple is still going strong. Their time playing each other’s love interest on NCIS: New Orleans might have helped in keeping the flame alive, too.
There’s one downside to a couple working at the same place, though. In 2021, it was announced that the police procedural series wouldn’t be renewed for a new season. Bakula might not have to look far for his next paycheck as there are rumors that he might reprise his Quantum Leap role soon.
Gladys Knight & William McDowell – 20 Years
Midnight Train to Georgia singer Gladys Knight had gone through the dissolution of multiple marriages when she met spa manager William McDowell. That didn’t stop her from trying once again, and in 2001, over a decade after they crossed paths, the couple wed each other.
Fast forward to 2021, and Knight is still very much in love and singing. She was even asked to perform the United States national anthem during the NBA All-Star event. Together with McDowell, she created a nonprofit organization to dispel fears about the coronavirus vaccine.
Tommy Lee & Brittany Furlan | 4 Years
Tommy Lee and Brittany Furlan’s love story is a tale of modern romance. After following the social media star on Instagram, the Mötley Crüe drummer made sure to meet her in person as soon as possible. Even though they have a 24-year age gap, they fell in love.
The two were first seen together in June 2017, making out outside of a sushi restaurant. The following year, Lee announced that he proposed to Furlan. The couple didn’t wait long to get married because they did so on Valentine’s Day 2019 and are still happily together today.

The two have been getting ready to marry, as per US magazine in 2021. This will be Locklear’s third shot at marriage since she was once wedded to Mötley Crüe lead vocalist Tommy Lee between 1986 and 1993 and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora between 1994 and 2007. Ava Elizabeth Sambora is Locklear’s daughter to the latter.
Lily James & Chris Evans | Undisclosed Time Together
Neither of them has confirmed the status of their relationship, but it seems like celebrity news outlets want Chris Evans and Lily James to be the newest couple in town. We can’t blame them because these two were seen chilling in London in 2020.
James is recognized for her work in shows like Downton Abbey and movies like Baby Driver. As for Evans, his most triumphant role has got to be that of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Evans last acted in the TV show Defending Jacob, while James has been starring in the TV mini-series The Pursuit of Love.
Ozzy Osbourne & Sharon Osbourne | 39 Years
It’s been 39 years since Ozzy Osbourne married Sharon Arden, but the couple is still going strong despite all the hardships they’ve been through. They’ve even gone on to have three kids: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. The pair got married on the “Fourth of July” US Independence Day, and Ozzy once revealed that Sharon chose the date so he’d never forget their anniversary.
The Black Sabbath vocalist and the former America’s Got Talent judge briefly split in 2016 after news that Ozzy cheated with Michelle Pugh, his hairstylist. They got back together, though, and are now inseparable even with Ozzy’s Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, which he revealed in 2020.
Robert Kraft & Dana Blumberg – 2 Years
Compared to most couples on this list, Robert Kraft and Dana Blumberg haven’t been together for a long time. Still, the New England Patriots CEO is very much smitten with his girlfriend, who’s a New York City-based eye doctor, judging from their public appearances. The feeling is mutual as an anonymous friend of theirs told Page Six that the couple is getting serious.
Unfortunately, their relationship is already getting put to the test as Kraft deals with accusations of paying for intimate acts at a spa in Jupiter, Florida. Things are looking up, though, as a judge ordered tapes of him to be destroyed in 2021.
Snoop Dogg & Shante Taylor – 24 Years
Being married to a rapper is not for the fainthearted. Shante Taylor, Snoop Dogg’s high-school-sweetheart-turned-wife, learned that the hard way. They were on the brink of calling divorcing each other in 2004, but the Drop It Like It’s Hot singer chose to stay.
Since the 49-year-old Snoop has turned to more wholesome pursuits, we’re hoping that the couple has already weathered the worst storms to come their way. He has been co-hosting a variety show with Martha Stewart since 2016 and collaborated with her to present the 2021 Puppy Bowl.
Billy Porter & Adam Smith – 6 Years
It’s hard to focus on anything else than Billy Porter’s impeccable fashion sense whenever he graces red carpet events. You’d often miss his husband Adam Smith, who’s been by his side even before he made it big with Pose. The couple first met in 2009 but soon decided they’re better off as friends. They rekindled their romance in 2015 and got married two years later.
Smith is the owner of the luxury eyewear brand Native Ken. Meanwhile, his Primetime Emmy winner husband is currently busy working on the Cinderella movie coming in 2021.
Joanna Lumley & Stephen Barlow – 35 Years
Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley is well-loved in the United Kingdom thanks to her half a century’s worth of work in the entertainment business. It’s no surprise that she’s just as loved at home by her conductor husband Stephen Barlow, who she first met at a friend’s wedding.
With the pandemic making it impossible for Lumley to shoot for her popular travel show, we bet Barlow is ecstatic to spend more time with his globe-trotting wife. She found a way to get out somehow, though, as she filmed for her latest show, Home Sweet Home: Travels in My Own Land, released in February 2021.
Jon Cryer & Lisa Joyner – 14 Years
As the nerdy Duckie in Pretty in Pink, Jon Cryer failed to get the girl. He eventually did so when he wed his wife Lisa Joyner in 2007. And it looks like they’ve found their happily ever after with each other as they’re still together to this day.
They share one daughter, Daisy, who they adopted as a baby a couple of years after getting married. After finishing his stint on Two and a Half Men, he scored another iconic role as the DC Comics villain Lex Luthor. As of 2021, he’s playing the character on the TV series Supergirl.
Eva Mendes & Ryan Gosling – 10 Years
Almost a decade since they got together, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are still successfully keeping their relationship away from the public eye. Truly a breath of fresh air in an industry where private matters are typically publicized. However, this decision didn’t save Mendes from scrutiny.
In 2021, she faced some controversy after denying allegations left on her Instagram that she had plastic surgery. Meanwhile, Gosling is getting more involved in the behind-the-scenes aspect of filmmaking as he’s set to star and produce the movie, The Actor, which is an adaptation of a Donald E. Westlake book.
Mark Wahlberg & Rhea Durham – 12 Years
Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham may look like your typical Hollywood couple, but they went about their relationship in an unconventional way. They decided to have kids first before finally tying the knot in 2009, eight years after they started dating. It all worked out in the end, though.
These days, the former Victoria’s Secret model has her hands full, raising four children. On the other hand, the Ted 2 actor, through his production company Unrealistic Ideas, brokered a partnership with social media star Josh Richards in 2021. The deal is set to see the company become the go-to for Gen Z creators.
Kevin James & Steffiana de la Cruz – 17 Years
Blind dates get a bad rap but being set up seemed to have worked fantastically for Kevin James and Steffiana De La Cruz. Two decades since their first date, the couple is still going strong and has even worked together on James’ widely popular Paul Blart: Mall Cop movies.
Of course, their partnership also transcended the silver screen as they’ve raised four kids together. The Grown Ups star juggles fatherhood with his hectic filming schedule as he often works on multiple projects in a year. In 2020 alone, he made Hubie Halloween with frequent collaborator Adam Sandler and headlined the Sound Guy miniseries.
Kirsten Dunst & Jesse Plemons – 5 Years
With both of them being former child stars, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons really hit it off when they met on the set of Fargo. In fact, they fell for each other pretty quickly that they got engaged just two years later, in 2017. It seems like they’re planning for a long engagement, though, as the couple hasn’t exchanged vows yet.
Perhaps they want to enjoy their time with their son Ennis as they go about fulfilling their acting commitments. Plemons is starring in the 2021 horror movie Antlers. Both of them also committed to working on the TV adaptation of the Hank the Cowdog book series the year prior.
Billy Ray Cyrus & Tish Cyrus – 28 Years
Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife Tish Cyrus had a rocky start to their relationship. The Achy Breaky Heart singer got two women pregnant at the same time but ultimately chose to be with Tish and their daughter, Miley. And despite alleged objections from his record label, he married her in 1993.
They’ve been on the brink of separation several times, but the couple chose to stay with each other. Tish was there cheering Cyrus on during his popularity resurgence in 2019 thanks to the smash hit song Old Town Road that he recorded with rapper Lil Nas X. He released his new EP, The Singin’ Hills Sessions, in 2020.
Will Ferrell & Viveca Paulin – 21 Years
Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin prove that people who are meant for each other will end up together in the end. They first dated during the mid-’90s after meeting in an acting class. After deciding to be friends, they rekindled their romance and got married in 2000.
Paulin seems to have taken a break from acting as her last credit is a small role in 2018’s Ralph Breaks the Internet. Ferrell is still pretty active in the entertainment scene, appearing alongside Rachel McAdams in the Netflix comedy Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga in 2020.
Melissa Gilbert & Timothy Busfield – 8 Years
Fans of Little House on the Prairie would be pleased to know that its former star Melissa Gilbert has found herself living on a farm in real life as well. She bought a property in upstate New York, where she spends her time raising chickens with her husband, Timothy Busfield.
They still get a taste of city life, though, as the couple also resides part-time in Manhattan. Since 2020, Busfield has been working on the show For Life, which shoots in the Big Apple. Gilbert leaves her beloved farm from time to time, too, as she works on projects like the 2019 movie When We Last Spoke.
Toby Keith & Tricia Lucus – 37 Years
A person’s young adulthood is the best time to date around. Not for Toby Keith and Tricia Lucus, though. After finding each other when they were 20 and 19, respectively, they didn’t waste much time marrying each other during their early 20s.
The young couple had a rough start at married life with the Should’ve Been a Cowboy providing for the family by working in oil fields. Their luck eventually changed, and he hit it big in the music scene. His $365 million net worth is only bound to grow as Keith has tour concerts set for 2021.
Willie Nelson & Annie D’Angelo — 30 Years
Another country music power couple is Willie Nelson and Annie D’Angelo. The Always on My Mind singer was married three times before he came across his current wife, who he met while she was a makeup artist in the ‘80s. With their union nearing the three-decade mark, it’s safe to say that he’s finally found the woman for him.
D’Angelo stuck with her husband through thick and thin, and he’s more than grateful for it. Now in his late 80s, Nelson continues to make music. He released his second album of Frank Sinatra songs he covered in 2021. The record is called That’s Life.
Sandra Smith & John Connelly – 11 Years
Fox News anchor Sandra Smith is all about professionalism whether or not she’s in front of the camera. While a good mantra to have as a public figure, that also means her fans won’t be able to know much about her private life, her almost 11-year marriage included.
Smith does share bits and pieces of her relationship with her husband, John Connelly. She has even made it a point to greet him during their anniversary while posting a photo from their nuptials. Perhaps it’s for the best. She juggles multiple responsibilities at the network, appearing on The Five and America Reports in 2021.
Tiger Woods & Erica Herman – 4 Years
The dissolution of Tiger Woods’ marriage to ex-wife Elin Nordegren became a media spectacle. Because of that, it’s only right that he keeps his relationship with girlfriend Erica Herman as private as possible. Things were going well—she’s even met his children—until she was thrust into the spotlight.
In February 2021, Woods got into a serious vehicular accident while driving his SUV in Rancho Palos Verdes. The crash left his legs severely injured, leading to fears that his recovery would take a long time to complete. The incident also brought attention to Herman and their relationship, with several articles being written about her.
Melissa Francis & Wray Thorn – 24 Years
When people first saw Fox News anchor Melissa Francis on Little House on the Prairie, they probably never thought she’d be where she is today. But she did, always knowing she’d go on to attend college after her acting stint. She even chose Harvard because of how far away it was from Hollywood.
The decision proved to be a good one as she met and fell in love with fellow alumnus Wray Thorn. Both achievers, the couple continue to excel in their own particular field. Thorn is a venture partner at the hedge fund Two Sigma. And as of 2021, Francis is co-hosting the programs Outnumbered and After the Bell.
Rob Marciano & Eryn Marciano – 11 Years
Given Rob Marciano’s background in meteorology, it comes as no surprise that he loves being in the great outdoors. His wife Eryn and their two children share the same interest, and the kids have often been pictured skiing and petting horses alongside the couple on Instagram.
Of course, Eryn has her own interests, too. She works in real estate while Marciano is busy with his duties as the senior meteorologist at ABC News. As of 2021, he serves as the weather anchor for programs like World News Tonight and Good Morning America.
Guy Fieri & Lori Fieri – 26Years
Guy Fieri’s wife Lori has stood by his side as he went after the best and craziest of his ideas. So, it’s no surprise that the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives star credits her undying support with all the good fortune he’s brought to his family through his success.
We don’t doubt she’s still cheering him on as Fieri starts rolling out a new restaurant chain in 2021. The latest Flavortown Kitchen would operate like a “ghost kitchen,” meaning they would be serving out of already existing dining establishments. Fieri will be opening chains across 24 states.
Kris Kristofferson & Lisa Meyers – 38 years
Kris Kristofferson fired up the silver screen with Barbra Streisand in A Star Is Born during the ‘70s. In reality, though, he likely has the best chemistry with his wife Lisa Meyers, to whom he’s been married for almost four decades.
The couple has been through thick and thin as Kristofferson, now in his 80s, grappled with his Lyme disease diagnosis. He retired from the spotlight in 2020, although the decision was only made public in 2021. His children have also stepped up in helping him manage his business interests.
Douglas Brunt & Megyn Kelly – 13 years
Megyn Kelly and Douglas Brunt are both achievers, so it’s no surprise that they found the perfect partner in each other. Kelly climbed up the ranks at Fox News and NBC before going solo, while her husband Douglas Brunt was the CEO of the cybersecurity company Authentium, Inc.
After exposing the harassment that women at the Fox Network experienced, Kelly decided to go her own way. In 2020, she announced that she would be launching the production company Devil May Care Media. Among her first projects is the podcast The Megyn Kelly Show.
Bradley Walsh & Donna Derby – 24 Years
You’ve met Breaking Dad stars Bradley Walsh and his son Barney. Now, it’s time to get to know another family member: Bradley’s wife, Donna Derby. A choreographer and dancer by trade, she’s best known for being featured in the music video for the song Simply Irresistible.
Given Derby’s background, the former Coronation Street star is lucky to have someone who would understand how to deal with the injuries he incurs while shooting Breaking Dad. He’s previously shared about getting injured in the head in one episode. The show is set to return for its third season in 2021.
Juan Williams & Susan Delise – 43 Years
Juan Williams had to take a break from his co-hosting duties at Fox News after he tested positive for the coronavirus in late 2020. Lucky for him, he had his wife Susan Delise help him deal with the virus, nursing him back to health. It wouldn’t be the first time she stood by him.
In 2010, she criticized NPR and called the people behind it hypocrites after Williams was fired for making remarks about Muslims while at The O’Reilly Factor, a show on Fox. He would eventually become one of the few liberal thinkers at the largely conservative news network.
James Cameron & Suzy Amis – 21 Years
Titanic director James Cameron has never been one to back down from a challenge. With a full household of three teenage children already, he and his wife Suzy Amis filed for a petition to become the permanent guardians of one of their daughter’s 16-year-old friends in 2020.
The couple, who has been married since 2000, could then travel with the teenager overseas once the court approves the guardianship. It’s been reported that Cameron has been hard at work in New Zealand getting the production going for the Avatar sequels.
Jada Pinkett Smith & Will Smith – 24 Years
For the longest time, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage was considered #relationshipgoals by many. However, they soon found out that not all was good with their marriage behind the scenes. In 2020, it was revealed that Pinkett Smith had an “entanglement” with rapper August Alsina.
In the end, the couple managed to pull through the controversy and stay together. All seem well as the Red Table Talk host launched a personal care brand called Hey Human in 2021 with the support of the Aladdin star and the three Smith children.
Tom Selleck & Jillie Mack – 34 Years
Tom Selleck first saw his now-wife in a West End production of Cats in the ‘80s, and he was immediately smitten. In fact, he was so committed to his wife Jillie Mack and the family they were building that he took a step back from his show Magnum, P.I. to have more time for them.
After living and raising their daughter named Hannah in a 65-acre property in Ventura County, California, Selleck made a successful small-screen comeback with the Blue Bloods drama series. The show’s 11th season premiered in 2021.
Mark Harmon & Pam Dawber – 34 Years
Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber have kept their relationship under wraps since they first got together in the ’80s. He insists, though, that they aren’t really trying to keep things secret. The St. Elsewhere actor even wears an eagle head ring to honor their marriage.
As for the secret to their long union, Harmon believes that it’s all thanks to the fact that they were already in their 30s when they exchanged vows. Not all good things are meant to last in his life, though. His current NCIS contract expires by the end of Season 18. Harmon has been working on the show since 2003.
Kristy McNichol & Martie Allen – 29 Years
Little Darlings actress Kristy McNichol had already said goodbye to the spotlight when she made a shocking announcement in 2012. Introducing her long-time girlfriend to the world, she came out of the closet in the hopes of helping other LGBTQ+ people who have been bullied for their orientation.
McNichol hasn’t graced the TV screen since the late ‘90s, and not much is known about her life with partner Martie Allen today. However, the Daily Mail reported that she had turned her attention to fitness, preferring to spend her time playing tennis, practicing yoga, and caring for her dogs.
Catherine Bell & Brooke Daniells – 9 Years
Catherine Bell’s relationship with party planner Brooke Daniells is shrouded in mystery. According to blogger Tony Ortega, the couple got together after the JAG actress’s divorce from her husband, Adam Beason. Ortega also identified Bell as a member of the controversial Church of Scientology.
It is unclear whether the pair is still together today. The Good Witch star, although very active on Instagram, hasn’t posted anything about Daniells yet, it seems. The mother of two is still pretty busy with acting, though. In 2020, she starred in the Hallmark movie Meet Me at Christmas.
Troy Aikman & Catherine Mooty – 4 Years
Things might not have worked out for former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman the first time around in marriage, but he got lucky the second time. After years of being single, he met his now-wife, Catherine “Capa” Mooty, and formed their blended family of six.
However, it appears that the good fortune of Fox NFL’s lead game analyst has run out. In 2021, he faced a bit of backlash after his co-host Joe Buck shared that they used to drink alcohol while in the booth. Buck says that they’ve kicked the habit, though.
Matthew Perry & Molly Hurwitz – 3 Years
Bad news Chandler and Monica fans: A real-life Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox pairing is now out of the question. The former Friends star just proposed to his girlfriend Molly Hurwitz, who’s over two decades his junior, in 2020. The news came just two years after they became an item.
Their wedding would mark the 17 Again actor’s first marriage. He’s been linked to several public figures in the past, including Julia Roberts and Lizzy Caplan. Perry might celebrate the premiere of his upcoming movie Don’t Look Up, slated for a 2021 release, before his own nuptials.
Tucker Carlson & Susan Andrews – 30 Years
Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his wife Susan Andrews have known each other since they were just 15. We reckon he had to go through many hoops to date her, with Andrews being the headmaster’s daughter. Despite this and them going long-distance, the high school sweethearts married in 1991.
The couple remains by each other’s side until today. Being a public figure, Carlson may be the one who needs the extra support often, though. In 2021, he got into hot water after making dubious claims about the QAnon movement’s existence.
Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos | 24 Years
Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa rank high on the list of TV couples who are essentially #couplegoals. They met on the set of All My Children, and in May 1996, roughly a year later, they eloped. They now have a beautiful family of five after having their three children.
Ripa has been back on the big screen in recent years, and in 2020, she appeared in The Stand In. She also has an upcoming role in Pine Valley. Consuelos guest-starred on an episode of the comedy-drama Katy Keene as his character from Riverdale, Hiram Lodge.
Joy Reid & Jason Reid | 24 Years
Joy Reid made a name for herself as an MSNBC correspondent, and she started hosting the weeknight show The ReidOut in 2020. That subsequently made her the first black female anchor with a primetime cable slot. Since 2016, she has been hosting AM Joy, and her job description also includes filling in for the network’s other hosts, including Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes.
Reid isn’t only successful in her career, but she also has a lovely marriage with documentary film editor Jason, who works with the Discovery Channel. They married in February 1997 and now share three children.
David Letterman & Regina Lasko | 35 Years
Regina Lasko met David Letterman in 1986 when he was still hosting the late-night talk show on NBC. They dated for more than two decades before making it official in March 2009. By then, they had already grown their family with the birth of their son in 2003.
Letterman publicly admitted to carrying on several affairs with his female employees after TV producer Joe Halderman tried to extort $2 million from him to keep his indiscretions secret. The couple weathered the storm and are still going strong. Letterman is a co-owner of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team that scooped the Indianapolis 500 win in 2004 and 2020.
Al Roker & Deborah Roberts | 25 Years
When they say opposites attract, Deborah Roberts and Al Roker’s relationship might embody the statement in some regard. They work for rival TV networks, Roker NBC and Roberts ABC News, cultivating a sense of healthy professional competition. When they get back home, though, they are a loving couple who’ve made it through over two decades of marriage.
The couple has three children, who Roberts divulged caused her career to take a hit, but Roker provided the comfort she needed through it all. Roker disclosed in November 2020 that he was battling prostate cancer. In the same month, he got an operation and has been recovering since.
Kate Bolduan & Michael David Gershenson | 10 Years
Just like how she has been a loyal employee of CNN since the beginning of her career in 2007, Kate Bolduan has been committed to Michael David Gershenson, her husband, for a decade. They tied the knot in May 2010 and are now the parents of two daughters.
The couple’s work-life balance is admirable. Bolduan anchors At This Hour with Kate Bolduan, and Gershenson is a partner at The Carlyle Group. All that while raising two children? Impressive! We hope that this lovely couple gives the world some insight into how they thrive as a family with their daughters, Cecelia Eve and Delphine Esther.
Brooke Baldwin & James Fletcher | 2 Years
If you are an avid CNN viewer, then you are probably familiar with Brooke Baldwin. She has been with the network since 2008, but she recently announced her upcoming departure in mid-April 2021. She hosted the weekday show CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin, and she also won accolades for her documentary To Catch a Serial Killer.
Baldwin tied the knot with English producer James Fletcher in May 2018, after announcing their engagement the year before. She also contracted COVID-19 in April 2020 but recouped and returned to work within no time.
Susan Page & Carl Leubsdorf | 38 Years
Conventional wisdom dictates that work shouldn’t be a subject at the dinner table. But when you are a Washington columnist married to the 2020 vice presidential debate moderator, all bets are off. That sums up some aspects of the relationship between Susan Page and Carl Leubsdorf.
They had a non-denominational ceremony to mark their marriage in May 1982. The nuptial announcement published by the New York Times reveals that they both attended Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, where they each earned a master’s degree. On top of that, Page earned her bachelor’s accreditation from Northwestern, while Leubsdorf got his from Cornell.
Chris Wallace & Lorraine Martin Smothers | 23 Years
Chris Wallace hails from a family of media royalty, so to speak, with his father being the renowned Mike Wallace, a reporter for CBS 60 Minutes. Wallace himself anchors Fox News Sundays, and thanks to his wide-ranging and challenging interviews, he has been praised for living up to his old man’s legacy.
Wallace tied the knot with Lorraine Smothers in October 1997. They have a huge family with Wallace’s four children from his first marriage to Elizabeth Farrell and Lorraine’s two from her former union to Dick Smothers. Wallace released his third publication in June 2020, and it made it to The Dad Bookshop’s best non-fiction list of that year.
Don Lemon & Tim Malone | 4 Years
Don Lemon and Tim Malone haven’t spent a day apart since they met in 2016. They figured it was time to take their relationship to the next step, and in 2019, they announced that they were gearing up to walk down the aisle.
When People magazine asked when they might walk down the aisle, Lemon advised engaged people that they shouldn’t become obsessed with planning the ceremony. He adds that it’s better to enjoy the journey and everything in between. In July 2020, Lemon moderated the second round of Democratic presidential candidate debates.
Sanjay Gupta and Rebecca Olson Gupta | 16 Years
Love brings together people from varied backgrounds, like in the case of CNN medical journalist Sanjay Gupta and his wife, Rebecca Olson. Gupta’s parents immigrated to the U.S. from India, and they met in Livonia, Michigan. If that hadn’t happened, fate might have turned differently for Gupta and Olson.
They had a traditional Hindu ceremony to mark their nuptials in May 2004. The couple now focuses their time between their respective careers, with Olson working as a family law attorney and raising their three daughters. Gupta made appearances on several CNN shows in 2020 discussing the coronavirus pandemic.
Joan Collins & Percy Gibson | 19 Years
Joan Collins gave marriage a try five times, and her union to Percy Gibson in February 2002 proves to be the one destined to last. Collins, who will appear in the upcoming TV production Glow and Darkness, is 31 years older than Gibson.
She told Hello! magazine that they spent a considerable time cocooned indoors in 2020. Collins enjoys entertaining, but social distancing guidelines prevented her from hosting too many shindigs. The quality time spent with Gibson at their St Tropez home came with the realization that they have a pretty solid relationship.
Adam Sandler & Jackie Sandler | 17 Years
Adam Sandler and his better half, Jackie, prove that couples can work together at home and in the workplace. Their budding romance actually brewed when they were working on the 1999 flick Big Daddy. They shared the screen in a few more other productions, including Little Nicky and Grown Ups.
The couple wed in June 2003, and their happily-ever-after is now picture-perfect after they welcomed their two daughters Sunny and Sadie. Sandler has still been busy at work with an appearance in the 2020 film Hubie Halloween. However, not even his busy schedule can get in the way of the quality time the 54-year-old dad spends with his daughters.
Bruce Willis & Emma Heming Willis | 12 Years
Bruce Willis was once married to Demi Moore, but despite their union failing, they remain good friends. Willis found love again when he married Emma Heming in March 2009, and Moore even attended their big day. The three daughters he shares with Moore also witnessed the wedding in Turks and Caicos. Heming and Willis have two daughters of their own.
Willis has graced our screens in several recent productions, including Hard Kill and Breach, both in 2020. He’s slated to feature in many more upcoming films, including Cosmic Sin, Apex, and Reactor.
Cyndi Lauper & David Thornton | 29 Years
The end of a relationship often elicits grief, and Cyndi Lauper faced the same predicament after she split up with her ex-manager Dave Wolff. She fell into depression and moved into a hotel room. Fortunately, David Thornton swooped in and mended her broken heart. They both said “I do” in November 1991.
Thornton and Lauper’s family is also much warmer since they welcomed their son Declyn Wallace. Lauper had a schedule-packed 2020 with appearances in Young Sheldon and Bubble Guppies. She also participated in a fundraising concert held online to support LGBTQ nightlife workers who had been hit financially due to the pandemic.
Terry Bradshaw & Tammy Bradshaw | 6 Years
Terry and Tammy Bradshaw might have only made things official in July 2014, but they’ve been involved with each other for about 15 years at the time. It wasn’t Terry’s first walk down the aisle since he had been married three times before and has two daughters from his third marriage.
Terry continues to act long after leaving his NFL days behind, and in January 2020, he appeared in the first episode of the eighth season of Last Man Standing. The Bradshaw Bunch, a reality show about Terry and his family, premiered on the E! network in September 2020.
Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn | 38 Years
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn might as well be the poster for Hollywood couples who prove that living in unwedded bliss can actually work. A 1968 live-action musical followed by other shared screen moments sparked their romance. It wasn’t until 1983 that Russell and Hawn made their relationship official.
They haven’t made it down the altar, but with nearly four decades spent together, they must have figured that a marriage certificate wouldn’t really add anything to what they already have. The love birds shared the screen in 2020 when they starred in The Christmas Chronicles 2.
Elton John & David Furnish | 28 Years
Elton John needs little introduction; after all, he continues churning out hits after more than five decades in the music industry. Unfortunately, early in 2020, he had to cut short his first show ever at Auckland’s Mount Smart Stadium because he lost his voice.
John had contracted walking pneumonia, but it wasn’t long before he recovered and got back on stage. He had the support of his long-time partner David Furnish, who he’s been seeing since 1993. In 2005, the pair got into a civil partnership and officially made it legal by exchanging vows in December 2014.
Piers Morgan & Celia Walden | 10 Years
Piers Morgan got a second chance at marriage when Celia Walden said “I do” during their nuptials in June 2010. The following year, they grew their family with their daughter’s birth, while Morgan also has three children from his first marriage.
Morgan penned a critical article in April 2020, disapproving of former President Donald Trump’s approach to handling the COVID-19 crisis. He mainly had an issue with Trump’s sentiments suggesting that ingesting disinfectant could be a possible cure for the virus. Morgan later said that after publishing the piece, Trump unfollowed him on Twitter.
Caitlyn Jenner & Sophia Hutchins | 3 Years
Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner and Kris Jenner officially ended their 23-year marriage in 2015. She then went through gender reassignment procedures after coming out as a transgender person. She marked the fifth anniversary of her transition in 2020 and told People magazine that her journey might differ from other trans people, but she is happy being herself.
Since 2017, Caitlyn has been linked with Sophia Hutchins, who also went through her own transition in 2016. The pair even moved in together, sharing Caitlyn’s Malibu home, and around mid-2018, rumors surfaced that they were engaged. However, both have stated that their relationship isn’t romantic at all.
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill | 24 Years
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are country music royalty who have also proven that marriage works. They’ve made it through nearly a quarter of a century married, having met in 1994 when they both attended a seminar for upcoming artists hosted by Country Radio. The couple tied the knot in October 1996, and their family now includes three children.
McGraw released his fifteenth studio album titled Here on Earth in August 2020. However, the tour arranged to promote the album got canceled because of the pandemic. McGraw kicked off 2021 with the release of his single Undivided in collaboration with Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard.
Barbra Streisand & James Brolin | 22 Years
Barbra Streisand is a talented singer and actress, and those might be some of the qualities that caught James Brolin’s attention. Brolin earned a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 1998, the same year that he got hitched to Streisand. Combined, they have four children, three from Brolin’s first two marriages and one from Streisand’s previous marriage to Elliott Gould.
Streisand is a generous gift giver judging from the present she extended to the late George Floyd’s daughter Gianna in 2020. She gifted the six-year-old girl Disney shares and two of her hit albums, My Name is Barbra and Color Me Barbra.
Doug Davidson & Cindy Fisher | 36 Years
Doug Davidson is the longest-serving cast member of The Young and the Restless, joining the series in 1978 and reprising his role as Paul Williams in its reboot. He had some issues with his contract on the show, but after the head writer/executive producer’s departure, CBS announced that he would return to the show in 2019.
Besides acting, Davidson hosted the Tournament of Roses Parade every New Year’s Day from 1998 to 2003. Davidson married Cindy Fisher in May 1984, and they have two children. Their daughter Calyssa is an accomplished violinist. Fisher also appeared in the Young and the Restless, and that’s where she met Davidson.
Jean-Claude Van Damme & Gladys Portugues | 26 Years
Jean-Claude Van Damme had been down the altar twice before he finally found his soulmate in Gladys Portugues. A photoshoot is where the sparks flew, and in January 1987, they got hitched. The marriage bore two children, but in 1992, they split. Van Damme moved onto other relationships, but much like the perfect romance movie, they found their way back to each other and remarried in June 1999.
Van Damme continues to prove that he’s a real-life hero, like when he rescued a chihuahua in 2020. The three-month-old pup faced euthanasia, but after a tussle between Bulgaria and Norway over a fake passport debacle, Van Damme stepped in and saved the day.
Phoebe Cates & Kevin Kline | 32 Years
The Fast Times at Ridgemont High is the show that helped Phoebe Cates gain traction in the industry. She was 19 at the time, and that’s also when she met Kevin Kline in 1983. The two were auditioning for The Big Chill, an ’80s flick, and a relationship blossomed out of the encounter.
By March 1989, Cates and Kline tied the knot, and their 16-year age difference didn’t get in the way of forging a strong relationship. While Cates is no longer involved in the industry, Kline continues to act, and he has upcoming roles in The Diary, The Good House, and The Starling.
Cameron Diaz & Benji Madden | 6 Years
Nicole Richie played the matchmaker when she introduced Cameron Diaz to Benji Madden in 2014. Ten months down the line, they married each other in a Jewish ceremony. They had their big day in January 2015 at their Beverly Hills home. They have a daughter called Raddix, who joined the family in 2019 through surrogacy.
In 2020, Diaz collaborated with Katherine Power to unveil Avaline, an organic wine brand. As for Madden, he had a vocal feature in Hollywood Undead’s single “Second Chances” off of their 2020 album New Empire, Vol.1.
Joaquin Phoenix & Rooney Mara | 4 Years
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara had their first child. The pair met on the set of Her, the 2013 film, and they shared the screen a couple of more times. Their romance blossomed when they co-starred in Mary Magdalene.
They first showed that they were an item by making a red carpet debut in 2017 at the Cannes Film Festival. Phoenix told The New York Post they were sharing a home, and by July 2019, he had popped the big question. On the work front, Phoenix has roles in the upcoming films Disappointment Blvd, C’mon C’mon, and Kitbag.
Meryl Streep & Don Gummer | 42 Years
A beautiful beginning came out of the shoulder Don Gummer provided for Meryl Streep to lean on when she was mourning the passing of her lost flame John Cazale. It was 1978 and by far one of Streep’s most challenging years emotionally, but Gummer helped her overcome the grief.
Now, the couple has been in a four-decade-long happy marriage and has three children who all followed in their mother’s footsteps. Streep is equally still a force in the industry, and she’s slated to feature in the 2021 Netflix political satire Don’t Look Up.
Rebecca Herbst & Michael Saucedo | 19 Years
Rebecca Herbst and her better-half, Michael Saucedo, both found fame from appearing in the ABC drama General Hospital. Herbst maintains her role as Elizabeth Webber in General Hospital: Night Shift, a spin-off of the original series.
Saucedo appears to have taken a break from acting, except for the occasional roles, and now focuses more on music. We last saw him in Love to Sing in 2005. Saucedo and Herbst tied the knot in June 2001, and they now have three children. Saucedo also has a son called Elijah from a previous relationship.
Maurice Benard & Paula Benard | 30 Years
Maurice Benard offered exemplary performances through his roles in All My Children and General Hospital. He also reprised his role as Sonny Corinthos in a couple of episodes of the General Hospital spin-off. The part earned him a Daytime Emmy in 2019, recognizing him as an Outstanding Lead Actor.
Benard’s character on the show as a lady’s man is far from his real-life because he only has affection for his wife, Paula. They got hitched in August 1990, and since then, they’ve expanded their family by welcoming three daughters and a son.
Princess Caroline & Prince Ernst August | 21 Years
Princess Caroline of Monaco walked down the aisle a third time to marry Prince Ernst August in January 1999. That also made it Prince Ernst’s second walk down the aisle. They both had children from their previous marriages, but they share a daughter who joined the family shortly following their nuptials.
Rumors about trouble in paradise have swirled around, but the two haven’t announced any news of legal separation. However, Prince Ernst had a brush with the law himself in 2020 that saw him temporarily committed to a Vocklabruck-based psychiatric unit.
Joan Van Ark & John Marshall | 55 Years
Former KNBC-TV reporter John Marshall and Joan Van Arc, who we best know from Knots Landing, exchanged vows in February 1966. The high school sweethearts wed in Trier, Germany, during Marshall’s time with the Armed Forces Radio Service. They celebrated their nuptials by going on a tour around Europe.
Vanessa Marshall, their only child, is now a renowned voice actress and singer. Van Ark even shared the spotlight with her daughter for a staging of the 1997 play Star Dust. We haven’t seen Van Ark in anything recent, with her last role being a voice part in Doom Patrol (2019).
Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood | 15 Years
Garth Brooks’s marriage to Sandy Mahl produced three daughters, but it ended after 15 years. Trisha Yearwood had also been down the aisle when she tied the knot with Christopher Latham, but they divorced after four years of marriage. She then married Robert Reynolds, but that union also ended.
When Yearwood and Brooks met, their relationship was strictly professional. They got reacquainted and exchanged vows in December 2005. The pair continue to make great country music, and in 2020, Brooks became a Gershwin honoree, making him the youngest recipient of the accolade at 57. The Library of Congress issues the award to artists with the most popular song.
Jared Padalecki & Genevieve Cortese | 11 Years
Jared Padalecki portrayed the role of Sam Winchester in Supernatural, and it earned him prominence. Working on the show came with even greater perks because that’s where he set eyes on Genevieve Cortese. They started a family and now share three children: Odette, Austin, and Thomas.
Cortese pens a blog aptly called Now & Gen, and in a 2019 post, she shared the struggles of keeping romance alive while raising three children. She explained that scheduling regular dates helps them reconnect. Padalecki’s schedule has been consumed working on the upcoming 2021 reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger for The CW.
Tarek El Moussa & Heather Rae Young – 2 Years
After Tarek El Moussa’s marriage with ex-wife Christina Anstead ended, he thought he’d never find love again… or so he thought. Meeting fellow real estate agent and reality TV show star Heather Rae Young proved his suspicions wrong in the best way possible.
A year after going public with their relationship, El Moussa and Young announced that they got engaged in July 2020. The Flipping 101 star and the Selling Sunset agent are currently planning their nuptials. In early 2021, Young revealed that they are looking to buy land in California.
Danny Aiello & Sandy Cohen | 64 Years
Danny Aiello is known for critically-acclaimed films like The Godfather Part II, Harlem Nights, and Do The Right Thing. He has posthumous credits in the upcoming movies One Moment and Hereafter Musical.
Aiello sadly passed away in 2019 at the age of 86 after a short bout of illness. He left behind his wife of 64 years, Sandy Cohen. He is also survived by three children: Rick, Stacey, and Jamie. Sadly, Aiello and Cohen lost their son Danny Aiello III, an actor and stuntman, to pancreatic cancer in 2010 at age 53.
Meghan McCain & Ben Domenech – 4 Years
Meghan McCain had to scale back on her in-studio appearances for The View in 2020. The reason? She wanted to keep her pregnancy as safe as possible as the pandemic continues to claim lives. Her daughter Liberty was born in the same year, and her husband, Ben Domenech, couldn’t be happier.
However, their bliss was soon interrupted in early 2021, as McCain faced backlash for the opinions she expressed on the ABC talk show. She reportedly called for the termination of Dr. Anthony Fauci because she hasn’t received the coronavirus vaccine yet. Domenech has also found himself in controversies in the past, although his involved accusations of plagiarism.
Kirk Cousins & Julie Hampton | 7 Years
Kirk Cousins is an NFL quarterback who started his professional football career playing with the Washington Redskins . In 2018, he became a free agent and signed an $84 million contract with his current team, the Minnesota Vikings.
The quarterback’s life off the field is a blissful one. He got married to his wife, Julie Hampton, in 2014. Before they said their “I do’s,” Cousins proposed in the most unlikely location – on the balcony of the Speaker of the house in the Capitol building! Having a congressman as a friend pays off we guess.
Paul Pierce & Julie Pierce | 11 Years
Paul Pierce, aka ‘The Truth,’ is a retired professional basketball player who played in the NBA for 19 seasons. He spent most of his playing career with the Boston Celtics . Although his name is not as popular as Celtics’ Larry Bird, Pierce is one of only three players who scored more than 20,000 career points with the team.
The NBA alum is married to Julie Pierce, whom he calls “an amazing woman.” Mrs. Pierce is also successful in her career; she’s an interior designer who was once named Elle Décor A-List Designer.
T.I. & Tameka “Tiny” Cottle | 11 Years
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., rose to fame pioneering the hip hop subgenre called trap music. In twenty years after moving to L.A. in 1999, he has released three consecutive number-one albums, won Grammys, and established his recording label, Grand Hustle Records .
The rapper didn’t have to go far to meet his future wife since she’s also a part of the music industry. He started dating Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, a member of the R&B group Xscape , in 2001. The couple got married in 2010 and have three children together. We’re glad their step for divorce didn’t push through back in 2016.
Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel | 9 Years
The love story of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel is not all sunshine and rainbows; there was a point when the sun didn’t shine. We’re referring, of course, to the time they called it quits in 2011. After dating for four years, the couple parted ways, only to get back together three months later.
When they reunited, they knew it was for keeps. Timberlake proposed to Biel in Montana with a vintage-style, six-carat engagement ring that he designed himself! Ten months later, they tied the knot in the most romantic location in southern Italy.
Aaron Rodgers & Shailene Woodley | 8 Months
Aaron Rodgers is a football quarterback who has been with the Green Bay Packers since the 2005 NFL Draft. Throughout his career, he has amassed a big following, who are interested in both his professional and personal life.
Fans of the famous quarterback have been waiting for a long time to know when he’ll settle down. He dated NASCAR driver Danica Patrick for years and many thought they were headed down the aisle. Well, that’s until he called actress Shailene Woodley, his fiancé, in the 10th annual CBS NFL Honors show. The actress confirmed their engagement during an interview with Jimmy Fallon on his talk show.
Demi Lovato & Max Ehrich | 5 Months
During a pandemic, Demi Lovato found her one true love in Max Ehrich, and ever since their relationship became public, the duo was inseparable. The pair quarantined together, flaunting their budding romance over social media, and by July 2020, Lovato and Ehrich got engaged.
Unfortunately, what started as a plot for a perfect rom-com movie was short-lived, and they split up in September that year. Meanwhile, the stars have gone their separate ways and want to focus on their career for now. But we do hope the ex-lovers find the perfect match soon, perhaps even each other, once more!
Bonnie Tyler & Robert Sullivan | 47 Years
Bonny Tyler gave us timeless hits like Holding Out for a Hero and Total Eclipse of the Heart. She reunited with David Mackay to release her 2019 album Between the Earth and the Stars, and they are also working on her upcoming 2021 album, The Best Is Yet to Come.
Tyler has been married to property developer Robert Sullivan since July 1973. Sullivan is also a former judo competitor, and he participated in the 1972 Summer Olympics. Tyler had a miscarriage at the age of 39, and the couple still doesn’t have any kids to this day.
Larry Bird & Dinah Mattingly| 33 Years
For making an exemplary couple, the mental tendency should match, not the height; Larry Bird & Dinah Mattingly have been proving it for 33 years. Bird is dubbed ‘Larry Legend’ for his brilliant decades as a former American professional basketball player. The National Basketball Association executive first met Mattingly at Indiana State University.
When the lovebirds tied the knot on September 30, 1989, the pair seemed odd as Mattingly is one foot and four inches shorter than her spouse, and she was not the first love interest of her once divorced husband. But the duo ruled out all the whims and are spending an ideal life with their two adopted daughters.
Jorge Garcia & Rebecca Birdsall | 1 Year
Jorge Garcia left a lasting impression from his performances in Lost and Hawaii Five-0. However, the 47-year-old actor keeps his personal life mostly private except for the tidbits of information here and there. Like when he tied the knot in June 2019 to Rebecca Birdsall. They had their nuptials in Ireland and set off to Greece for their honeymoon.
They have shared interests, including their love for traveling and the dog they share. Garcia still regularly reveals snippets of his life with Birdsall through the Instagram snaps he shares. On the work front, we saw him in the 2020 films Nobody Knows I’m Here and The Wrong Missy.
