These Famous Celebrity Couples are In It for the Long Haul

Ever so often, we hear that our favorite celebrity couple has broken up or called their divorce lawyers to legally call it quits and it just ruins our day. Think Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Of course, it’s a sad event made even worse when family lawyers are involved and the parents fight for the custody of their children.

And yet, there are plenty of stars who have stayed together for a long time and weathered many storms together. Sure, marriage is a gamble, and there are many times when one feels like loading their U-Haul and moving out, but in the end… love wins! That’s why it’s so heartening to hear of long lasting marriages and relationships, which certainly is not the norm in Hollywood.

Here are some celebrity couples who have us rooting for them.

Matt Bomer – Married to Simon Halls for 9 years

Matt Bomer, famously known for his role in the TV show ‘White Collar,’ is an award-winning actor/singer who has achieved massive onscreen success over the years. We all find love someday, and Matt found his in Simon Halls, whom he met in 2008, and they’ve been married for almost a decade!

Despite deciding to keep their union secret, Matt, a gay rights activist, openly revealed in 2014 that he had been married to Simon, a publicist since 2011. Together, the couple has three children, all born through surrogacy. They credit the longevity of their marriage to Matt’s grandparents, their role models, who had been together since they were teenagers.

Carole Baskin – Married to Howard Baskin for 15 Years

Carole and Howard met at an animal advocacy event in 2002 and married each other, two years later, on the same beach where they got engaged. Both of them love tigers and work together to promote Big Cat Rescue, which was started by Carole, herself.

Howard has reported that they have never had an argument or said something harsh to the other one in the fifteen years they have been together. They make decisions and solve everything through talking. He says that he’s the luckiest man in the world to have such an amazing partner and could not imagine having a more considerate one.

Jon Bon Jovi – Married to Dorothea Hurley for 31 Years

Jon Bon Jovi’s marriage has been as successful as his starry career and we can all see why. The rock star, who has managed to sell more than 130 million album copies since he began singing, has been hitched to his wife for as long as he can remember.

Their love was not built around their careers which are as diverse as one can imagine – Bon Jovi’s wife is a karate instructor while he’s a showbiz king. That has not taken anything away from their envious love life and the celebrity couple is always spotted hand in hand just like new lovers.
