It’s remarkable enough when marriages endure in normal life, let alone in the heightened world of celebrity.

Here are twelve couples who’ve stayed together through thick and thin.

Some of them might surprise you.

Victoria Beckham & David Beckham (19 years)

Who would’ve thought that when 90’s superstars Posh Spice and Becks got together, they’d be happily married all these years later. Despite cheating rumours, country changes, and four children, the pair still seem super in love to this day, and are one serious power couple.

Jada Pinkett Smith & Will Smith (19 years)

Will and Jada met in 1995 when she auditioned for the part of Will’s girlfriend on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. She didn’t get the part but they soon became friends and romance blossomed. Jada famously said: “We went out for dinner one night with mutual friends and I saw that he had grown from this lanky kid to this really responsible man. We started courting each other and our friendship turned into romance.”

Elton John & David Furnish (23 years)

Elton and David are one of the most adorable couples in the celeb world, and have lived happily together since 1993. They formed an official Civil Partnership in 2005, and when gay marriage became official in 2014 they finally tied the knot.

Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell (33 years)

Kurt and Goldie tied the knot a whopping 33 years ago, after meeting in the late 60s on a movie set. They only became romantically involved much later. Their union lasted and the couple have one son together, plus children from previous marriages.

Ben Stiller & Christine Taylor (16 years)

Ben and Christine met on set in the 90s, and were married by the new millennium. They make a great pair off screen too, starring in Zoolander 1 & 2, Dodgeball and Arrested Development together.

Colin Firth and Livia Giuggiolo (19 years)

Mr Darcy found his Elizabeth Bennett in Italian film producer Livia Giuggiolo. They have been married almost two decades, have two teenage children, and divide their time between Umbria in Italy, and Chiswick, London.

Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prince Jr (14 years)

Unlike many marriages of the same era, Sarah and Freddy’s has endured. They were just fresh faced teen stars when they met on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, and by the year 2000, they were dating. They married in 2002 and have gone onto have two children together.

Tina Turner and Erwin Bach (30 years)

Despite two previous failed marriages, Tina’s union with German music exec Erwin has lasted three decades. They only chose to marry after 27 years together, on the banks of Lake Zurich in Switzerland.

Michael J Fox & Tracy Pollan (28 years)

Back to the Future star Michael has been married to wife Tracy since 1988, and the journey has hardly been smooth. Just four years are their nuptials, Michael was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease. They’ve stayed together through it all, and have four children.

Keith Richards & Patti Hansen (37 years)

Unlike some other members of The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards has been a one woman man for almost four decades. He met New York model Patti Hansen in 1979 and married her just four years later. The couple have two children and are primarily based in Connecticut.

Sting and Trudie Styler (34 years)

Sting began seeing actress and musician Trudie in 1982, after the breakdown of his marriage to Frances Tomelty. He famously said he fell in love with Styler at first sight, which was awkward because he was married to her mate and next door neighbour, Frances. 34 years on, the couple are still happily married.

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson (28 years)

After starring together in the film Volunteers, Tom and Rita fell in love. They married in 1988 and went onto have two sons together. Hanks even converted to the Greek Orthodox church for his spouse. Despite the ups and downs of life, including serious health issues, the couple have stuck by one another.
