14 Celebrity Couples Who Are Still Married
Relationships can be a lot of fun, but they can also be super hard. Of course, that's why people say “for better or for worse” when they get married. They know that a long term relationship is filled with lows as well as highs. From petty fights to cheating to constantly leaving the toilet seat up, there are lots of different things that can cause a break up. But if you think that your relationships are hard, imagine being a celebrity. They are constantly in the spotlight, sometimes they have to spend months without their partner as they are away working, and they even have to deal with false accusations of cheating. No wonder most of them break up. Surprisingly some power couples do manage to stay together. Here are 14 amazing celebrity couples who have stayed strong for years (or even decades) and are still together today.
14 Seth Rogen And Lauren Miller
Seth Rogan has been with Lauren Miller since 2004, and the love struck pair got engaged in 2011. They got married a year later, and since then the pair has faced lots of highs and lows, including when Lauren's mother battled with Alzheimer's. Thankfully, the pair came out the other side even stronger. In fact, they created a charity called Hilarity For Charity to support the cause. So how do they make it work? Miller said, "We watch a lot of television.” Rogan agreed, adding "If our relationship works, the only thing that we do is watch a lot of television. So I guess we have to credit it to that." Lauren joked that they also eat buffalo wings and Seth said, "Yeah, buffalo wings and television. That's the key to a perfect marriage." We love it. We're totally going to take that advice. It definitely seems to work for them.
13 Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are one of the most legendary couples in Hollywood, and they have definitely earned the praise. The pair first started dating when they met on the set of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air in 1994. They were married three years later in 1997. So what is their secret to a happy marriage? Will has said that you can't think that a relationship is going to be super simple and that they have put in the work. He said that "not quitting" is basically the biggest secret that there is to a long-lasting, happy, and successful marriage. He then said, "We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously.” That is really wise and it's something that a lot of people, both celebrities and non-celebrities, should definitely take to heart.
12 David Bowie And Iman
Sadly, David Bowie passed away in 2016, but he was married to the beautiful Iman - and the pair had been married since 1992! The couple was married for 22 years, and their happy union created a 13-year-old daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones. However, the relationship wasn't easy sailing at the beginning. In fact, Iman wasn't even sure if she wanted to date the rock star legend, even though he was totally smitten with her. She has said, “I was not ready for a relationship. Definitely, I didn't want to get into a relationship with somebody like him. But as I always said: I fell in love with David Jones. I did not fall in love with David Bowie. Bowie is just a persona. He's a singer, an entertainer." That's an interesting way to look at it and it just goes to show that for us, these stars are, well, stars, but for their partners, they are just regular people (who are gorgeous and talented too, of course).
11 David And Victoria Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham are definitely a British power couple who are known across the world for their careers, but they have managed to keep their marriage mostly out of the public eye. The former Spice Girl recently spoke about her husband, saying, “My husband constantly inspires me and guides me - he has done so much good work, I look up to him and have the utmost respect and admiration for all that he has achieved.” The pair has been confronted with affair rumors in the past, but Victoria has said that she is "blessed" and that there is no reason for her to talk about those rumors. Good for her. She has also said that sometimes, the pair's busy schedules do keep them apart, but they make sure that their relationship is a priority. She said, "David and I have nothing to prove. We love each other, look out for each other, and are strong as both partners and parents."
10 Hugh Jackman And Deborra-Lee Furness
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met in 1995, and like many other couples on this list, they got married within the year. Maybe that is the true secret to a happy marriage. However, Hugh has his own theory. He has said, "You love each other-and respect each other. You truly want to be together.” He went on to say “My wife says whenever anyone says to me, 'Hey, Hugh, you're looking kind of stylish' then that's the time I have to say, 'Oh, that's my wife.' She told me, 'Honey, I don't need a lot of applause, but I do need it in the style department. [She] told me if she ever reads me saying, 'Yeah, I really love fashion. I know what to wear' then she will slap me around!" He has said how much he loves his wife and how great she is, which is honestly super adorable, and which seems to be the key to success.
9 Sacha Baron Cohen And Isla Fisher
When most people think of Sacha Baron Cohen, they think of Borat and general controversy. Very few people think about his 15-year relationship with actress Isla Fisher, but their marriage is definitely something to admire. The pair first met in 2002, and eight years later, got married. The beautiful actress opened up about their marriage, saying, “It's definitely not a normal relationship. You know there have been times in the past with the guerrilla style film making of Borat and Bruno where there were surreal conversations: 'How many people are suing us? Are you wanted in any states? Are you alive?'” It does sound pretty crazy, but despite that, the actress would consider collaborating with her husband, but that she thinks their life is great the way that it is since they are busy working and raising their two children.
8 Tom Hanks And Rita Wilson
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are one of the strongest couples in Hollywood. The pair has been married for over 28 years and they have two gorgeous children together. However, the Castaway star told 60 Minutes that the relationship might never have even happened.He said, "I told her long ago, If you and I were at the same high school I wouldn't have had the courage to speak to you. Too vivacious, too beautiful, too popular - everything - too upbeat, too positive.” Apparently Rita agrees. Tom continued, "To her credit, my wife said if we had gone to school at the same time, I would've had nothing to do with you.” Well, we are certainly glad that they got together, and we love them even more for confronting the media about their lies. Rita said, “At a certain point, you have to call them out on their lies and say, 'You can't do that anymore.'”
7 Sarah Jessica Parker And Matthew Broderick
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick first started dating 26 years ago in 1991, and they made things official in 1997. Today the couple is just as strong as ever, and they say that keeping their relationship has been the secret to their success. The Sex in the City star has said, “The secret is, we don't discuss it. To reporters or anybody else. That's it! We don't hold it up as an example and we don't air our dirty laundry.” The beauty did go on to compliment her husband, saying “I mean, I am quite fond of my husband!" Broderick had his own advice, saying “Listen to her. You know, that helps. Give her a little present every now and then. Just be kind to her.” He also highlighted the importance of communicating with your partner. We think that is great advice, especially the part about not airing your dirty laundry in public.
6 Amy Adams And Darren Le Gallo
Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo have been together for over 14 years, but they tied the knot pretty recently -- in 2015. While the pair may have been slow to put a ring on it, they have been very happy together for years, and they even have a four-year-old daughter together. They were first linked to each other in 2001 after they met in an acting class, but even in 2013 Amy revealed to Vanity Fair that she wouldn't be “getting married anytime soon.” Despite this, she sang his praises, saying, “I know he's completely capable and lovely and beautiful and offers something I could never hope to offer just in the nature of his being.” A few months later, she started talking about the details of when she would want to get married. The pair managed to have their perfect wedding, and now they seem happier than ever.
5 Meryl Streep And Don Gummer
Meryl Streep and Dom Gummer have been together since 1978, but the beloved actress has always been notoriously quiet about her relationship with the sculptor, despite the fact that he is a celebrity in his own right. After decades of silence, she thanked him during an acceptance speech at the 2012 Oscars, saying, “I'm going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you've given me.” It may not seem like much, but fans of the couple were very happy to hear that she is still as in love as ever. In his defense, he seems very happy to stay out of the spotlight, and today the happy couple can boast 36 years of marriage… and counting. They are definitely one of our favorite Hollywood couples.
4 Goldie Hawn And Kurt Russell
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell may not be officially married, but they have been together since 1983 and they seem happier than ever. The relationship has lasted for over 30 years, and according to Goldie the fact that they aren't married isn't important. She has said, “A lasting relationship isn't about marriage. It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work. Intention is the key. It's also about not losing yourself in each other. Being together, two pillars holding up the house and the roof, and being different, not having to agree on everything, learning how to deal with not agreeing. Everything's a choice." According to Goldie, the only thing you can't change is your age - but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. She said, "But it's wonderful to know you're aging, because that means you're still on the planet, right? It's all about how you make it. It's all in your mind.”
3 Matt And Luciana Damon
Matt and Luciana Damon have been together for years, and they are both super open about how happy they are with each other. The happy couple got married in 2004, so now they have over a decade of married life under their belts, but despite this Matt says that he doesn't feel like he is qualified enough to give marriage advice. He explained, “I think marriage is insane. It's a crazy idea but I love being married to my wife. So I wouldn't tell anybody else anything about their relationship.” He went on to say that there is no secret to making a marriage work: “So much of it is out of your hands. I mean, I just had that conversation with my father this weekend. He said the same thing to me. He said it's God's grace, is what he said. Because you just don't get lucky.” He definitely seems to be very humble about his marriage, and maybe that is part of the reason why it works.
2 Sting And Trudie Styler
Sting and Trudie Styler have been together for decades. They first met in 1982, but they waited another ten years to get married. Sting says that he believes the reason why they are so happy together is because they are friends as well as lovers. He has said, There's no secret, we're just lucky. We like each other actually. I don't know how we stay so connected, we just are.” Trudie said, “We will still see a lot of one another. It's something we're so used to. It works like that.” Sting went on to compliment his wife, saying; “The thing I am most proud of Trudie for is giving us our kids and our grandchildren - we have four so we are totally blessed.” Trudie seemed to agree and she said that it's great to watch their children grow up and become who they are, which is definitely a sweet and adorable thing.
1 Angela Bassett And Courtney B. Vance
The American Horror Story actress is known for her beauty and fantastic acting skills. But she should be known for another awesome reason: she has been with her beau Courtney B. Vance since 1997. That's definitely amazing and is definitely something to celebrate in Hollywood. They first met in 1980, but they were “just friends” for almost two decades. Can you even imagine?! Her religious husband said that their marriage works because “I've learned that the Lord is first and that my wife is the most important thing on this earth. The decisions in our marriage aren't easier, but they are clearer because of our relationship with God.” He seems to be very humble about their relationship and it certainly seems like he makes her very happy. Yup, it's safe to say that this pair is definitely the definition of #relationshipgoals.
