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.

Draymond Green and Hazel Renee – 3 Years

Draymond Green, the 35th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft is engaged to recording artist, actress, and TV personality Hazel Renee. Hazel is best known for her recurring roles on Fox’s ‘Empire Basketball Wives’ and also Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’

The news of their engagement followed an Instagram post sometime in 2019 by the former Miss Teen Renne. In the post, she had disclosed their engagement which had happened a month ago at the time of posting. Both Draymond and Renee have a child from their previous relationship. Yet, they take good care of each other’s children.

Joe Manchin and Gayle Conelly Manchin – 55 Years

We have immense respect and adoration for couples who have been married for over half a century, and Joe Manchin and his wife Gayle Conelly Manchin make a power couple in the political circles. Both natives of West Virginia have served the state in various capacities; while he is a U.S. senator, she has been a distinguished member of its educational board.

Immensely supportive of each other’s careers, Joe and Gayle are proud parents of three children and are doting grandparents for their ten grandchildren. When they are not busy with their professions as a politician and an educator, the couple loves to spend quality time with their large family.

Prince William – Married to Kate Middleton since 2011

All eyes were on Prince William and Kate Middleton during their courtship days in the early 2000s, the world eager to know if they’ll end up together or not. Their love story was a decade in the making and is no less than a fairy tale. With twists and turns that involved a breakup, revenge dating, and an official getting back together, the two love birds finally wed in 2011.

More than a decade into their marriage, the couple has consistently supported each other through the years, always putting up a united front in public. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have grown their royal family since, becoming proud parents of three adorable children.

Pete Rose & Kiana Kim – 12 Years

The former baseball player and manager, Pete Rose, was married twice. His first marriage to Karolyn Englehardt lasted 16 years, while his second marriage to Carol J. Woliung lasted 27 years. While being separated from this second wife, Rose met his current partner, Kiana Kim.

Kiana Kim is a former Pla*boy model from South Korea, and she is 39 years younger than Rose. She studied marketing at Arizona University and has two children from a previous relationship. The couple met in 2010 and went public with their relationship when they appeared on the ‘Howard Stern Show.’ They got engaged in 2011, and starred in their own reality show ‘Pete Rose: Hits & Mrs,’ in 2013.
