15+ Celebrity Couples Who Prove Love Can Last Foreve
Michael Caine and Shakira Baksh – Married 51 Years
Michael Caine and Shakira Baksh have managed to make their relationship last for almost half a century. Caine first spotted Baksh in the background of a television advertisement and found out that she resided in London through a mutual friend who was able to connect them.
Two years after their first encounter, the couple got married in Las Vegas in 1973. They have one daughter together called Natasha. Throughout their busy careers, these two have managed to be by each other’s side for every film screening and awards show. So lucky!
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick – Married 27 Years
Sarah Jessica Parker is known for playing the iconic Carrie Bradshaw in Sex & The City, however, Parker definitely doesn’t share Bradshaw’s unlucky love streak. Instead, she was able to find her forever love with fellow actor Matthew Broderick.
The couple met through their shared love of Broadway and even starred together in the 1996 production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In 1997, the pair married and soon after, in 2002, welcomed their first child together. They also have twin girls who were born in 2009.
Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo – 22 Years Together
A six-time Academy Award nominee, Amy Adams has obviously had a very successful career on screen, but she hasn’t seemed to have fallen for any of her other famous co-stars. Instead, she has decided to stick by her long-time partner, Darren Le Gallo.
This couple is anything but conventional! They first met in an acting class in 2001 but waited until 2002 for their first date. In 2008, Le Gallo proposed to Adams but put off their wedding until after they welcomed their first child. In 2015, they finally wed after 13 years together.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson – Married 35 Years
Believe it or not but Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks has been married to fellow actress and producer Rita Wilson for 35 years! They first met in 1985 while working on the comedy film, Volunteers, and have both went on to have incredibly successful careers.
In 1990, the couple welcomed their first child, Chet. Their second, Truman, followed in 1995. They have also produced many films together such as My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Mamma Mia!. These two have definitely not let their work come between them.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – Married 27 Years
It certainly hasn’t been the smoothest of sailings for Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, but like most celebrities, they have managed to put aside their differences and make their marriage work. They first met in 1994 on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
In 1997, the pair got married after being engaged for just one month. Eight months later, their first child, Jaden Smith, was born, followed by Willow in 2000. Will Smith had said in a podcast in 2018 that they don’t say they’re married, but that they are life partners.
Keith Richards and Patti Hansen – Married 41 Years
The common stereotype about rockstars is that they’re unfaithful given that they have such a busy touring schedule and meet people from all over the world. That couldn’t be applied to Rolling Stones guitarist, Keith Richards, as he has been with his wife for 41 years.
Richards met his wife, Patti Hansen, in 1979 and it was a match made in heaven. They married on Richards’s 40th birthday in 1983 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and have since had two daughters, Theodora and Alexandra.
Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne – Married 42 Years
Both Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have encountered many ups and downs throughout their almost four-decade-long relationship, but have managed to get through it. Ozzy and Sharon met in 1970 when she was 18, however, they did not become romantically involved until nine years later.
After three years together, they officially tied the knot and had three children together — Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. The Osbourne family have become a household name after their MTV reality show, The Osbournes, aired in 2002, making them one of the most famous celebrity families in the world.
Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson – Married 44 Years
Samuel L Jackson is one of the most iconic actors of our generation. Not only is he a fantastic actor, but he’s also a great husband and has managed to make his marriage work for 44 years! LaTanya Richardson, a successful actress herself, can often be spotted by Jackson’s side.
Richardson opened up to The New York Times about how she keeps her relationship so strong after almost 50 years together, admitting that she and Jackson will never go to sleep angry with one another.
Sting and Trudie Styler – Married 32 Years
The life of a rockstar is often hard to predict, but we’re sure having a doting partner must have kept Sting’s head on straight. The couple had an awkward first meeting after Styler was cast in an acting role alongside Sting’s former wife, Frances Tomelty.
After spending so much time together, they decided they couldn’t contain the sparks anymore and got together in 1984. After eight years of dating, the pair married at Camden Registry Office in 1992 and have been solid ever since — they even have four children together!
Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest – Married 40 Years
Jamie Lee Curtis really picked her husband, Christopher Guest, out of a picture! After seeing the actor in Rolling Stone from the film This Is Spinal Tap, she told her friend that she’s “going to marry that guy” before actually marrying him five months later.
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick – Married 35 Years
It’s funny how fate can work. After watching a play that featured Bacon, Sedgwick was convinced by her brother to tell the actor that she liked his work. Little did she know that 10 years later, the pair would be working together on the PBS film Lemon Sky in 1987.
Although she admittedly didn’t think that Bacon was her type, she clearly had a change of heart as the couple was married a year after they had first met in 1988. Their life together moved quickly and they welcomed their first child in 1989, and their second in 1992!
Hugh Laurie and Jo Green – Married 31 Years
Although we normally see actor Hugh Laurie play grumpy roles, he obviously has a softer side as he has had a very successful marriage to Jo Green. The pair are notoriously private, however, they got married in 1989.
The couple has three children together — Charlie, Bill, and Rebecca. Laurie has also admitted that his time in the spotlight put a strain on his marriage as he spent nine months of the year in America filming House. Since the hit drama series wrapped, Laurie has spent time with his family in London.
Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern – Married 30 Years
The story of how Lisa Kudrow met her now-husband Michel Stern sounds like an episode of Friends! Kudrow was first introduced to Stern in the late ’80s after he got into a relationship with her roommate. After they broke up, Kudrow and Stern reconnected at a party.
After dating for a few years, they were married in 1995, just one year after Kudrow started starring in Friends. Phoebe’s pregnancy in Friends was written into the show as a way for Kudrow to continue the role while she was pregnant in real life!
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber – Married 26 Years
Another celebrity relationship that started out as a friendship! Supermodel Cindy Crawford met her future husband, Rande Gerber, and the two became friends during their modeling careers. After Crawford’s first marriage ended, she got together with Gerber.
They had a beautiful beach wedding in 1998 and have been inseparable ever since. Gerber has since stepped back from modeling and into the world of business as he co-owns The Gerber Group, a chain of luxury bars and restaurants around the world with his brothers.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z – Married 16 Years
One of the most iconic celebrity couples ever! Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship has been analyzed and explored in every celebrity gossip magazine on the market, but they have managed to overcome them all and become the celebrity power couple we know and love.
The couple first went public in 2001, and began working on projects two years later including the iconic single, “Crazy in Love.” In 2008, the pair were married in a top-secret ceremony, and in 2011, Beyoncé announced during the VMAs that she was pregnant with her first child!
