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.
Michael Parkinson – Married to Mary Parkinson for 63 Years
Michael Parkinson is dubbed as the most outstanding talk show host, and rightfully so. His wife, Mary Parkinson nee Henegan, has been an incredible source of support and inspiration throughout his illustrious journey as a well-recognized broadcaster. As a journalist, she understands the rigors of his job in the media.
The two met in the ‘50s and got married in 1959. In the following decade, the couple became a family of five, with Mary mostly settling into domesticity to raise the three kids. She’s well-known as the famous interviewer’s wife and featured as a television presenter for programs like ‘Good Afternoon’ in the ‘70s and as a panelist in the comedy game show ‘Through the Keyhole’ in the ‘80s.
