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.
Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao – 29 Years
When Mitch McConnell’s first image ended after 12 years, he thought that he wouldn’t find love again. Yet, he met Elaine Chao in 1993, and the two immediately clicked. The American businesswoman met McConnel as she was interested in politics, and she later became the Secretary of Labor and later the Secretary of Transportation.
Chao has been supportive of her husband, attending several events with him and alone in the two years prior to the 2014 U.S. Senate elections. Her father also gave McConnell a personal gift in 2008 after Chao’s mother passed away and her fortune was estimated to be between $5 and $25 million.
