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.
Elton John – Married to David Furnish for 25 years
The ‘Tiny Dancer’ singer Elton John and his partner, Canadian filmmaker David Furnish have now been together for 25 years, but when they first met, things were not easy for same gendered couples. It was unheard of in those times, to have two men living conjugally, and marriage was out of the question as it was legalized yet.
Then the loving couple finally caught a break when Britain’s government eased their restrictions on same-gendered marriages. Without wasting much time, Elton and David took the plunge and were finally married. Elton may have 5 Grammys, a legendary musical career and bank accounts full of money, but nothing makes him more happy than his husband and their two sons, who were birthed by the same surrogate mother in 2010 and 2013.
