View Full Version : Examples of real Celebrity Marriages...
Ireneparalegal 12-06-2005, 09:10 PM With forums being used alot to start threads abt so-called celebrity marriages and divorces, I thought I would start a thread of real celebrity marriages, the ones that do last, those couples that have survived the ups and downs of fame, money, addictions, etc. People like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's marriage was no big shock to me, after what, five years??? Give me a break. I would be shocked if after twenty some years some couple got a divorce. These are some of my examples of good lasting marriages:
Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson
The late Bob Hope and his wife Doris
Pat Morita & Evelyn Guerrero (12 years until his recent death)
The late Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash (35 year relationship/marriage)
The late John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Chad Michael Murray 12-06-2005, 09:17 PM OMFG Irene, I had this EXACT same thread on my old board when people kept dissing celeb marriages!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that they don't ALL go bad. In fact, I'm sure the ratio of successful to unsuccessful celeb marriages is pretty similar to the ratio of current successful to unsuccessful marriages with regular people.
Here are some more:
John Travolta and Kelly Preston
Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora
Penny Lane 12-06-2005, 09:29 PM OMFG Irene, I had this EXACT same thread on my old board when people kept dissing celeb marriages!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that they don't ALL go bad.

As far as I know Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon never married. Is that right?:confused:
A fine example of longevity in marriage are 2 of the greatest actors of the 20th century ............Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman. Almost 50 years.
PrettyinPink55 12-06-2005, 09:39 PM Will Smith and Jada
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillpe
Kelly Rippa and her hubby
Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora
I would hold off on including them for now.
The NY gossip columns are saying that thier marriage is on shaky ground.

I would hold off on them also...when they reach their 20th anniversary, then I will include them...he's old, she's young, she may find herself longing for some young hunk.
How could I forget my man John Travolta and his wife. You know, I grew up on John, and never have I ever heard him do or say anything bad abt any woman. There was no bad gossip or tabloids abt him being with women. He made a good choice. What an awesome display of marriage.

Oh yeah..........................:D
Ireneparalegal 12-07-2005, 02:50 PM Oh yeah..........................:D
Such a fine example of love. Even now, with his new wife, he is a true gentleman.
I recall reading an interview he gave when Linda was still alive; he was asked abt groupies, girls throwing themselves at him and he responded that as a guy, it was natural for him to want to cross that line, but his heart wouldn't let him because he didn't want to lose the beautiful woman who was his wife. Those floozies were just that, floozies. Gee, What a guy!!!!
Ireneparalegal 12-07-2005, 02:53 PM Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are the greatest celebrity couple of all time.

This is a lovely pic of them. I love these celebrities that you never hear bad things abt, and they remain together in good and bad times. These are truly examples of good celebrity marriages...not like Britney, J-Lo, etc.
Dean Winchester 12-10-2005, 07:35 PM another one to offer would be Angela Lansbury and Peter Shaw, they married in 1949 and stayed together until his death in 2003.

James 12-27-2005, 12:43 AM Somewhere (likely the Brady Bunch board on Sitcomsonline.com) I read that producer Sherwood Schwartz and his wife have been married since 1941! Unless, of course, she has died; Sherwood is still with us at age 89.
How long were Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows married? (Of course, Steve died in 2000. :( )
dawsongirl 12-27-2005, 02:28 AM i don't know, let me check.

Ray J. is the younger brother of singer, Brandy. He is well-known for making a sex tape with Kim Kardashian. If I were Whitney, I'd make damn sure to keep my clothes on. :lol:
Ireneparalegal 05-06-2008, 10:26 PM Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have been married for ten years now I believe. Still, anything can happen. Like I said before, I think 20 years is an accomplishment in Hollywood. Same thing with Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, they have been married 10 years. I hope each of these couples last. They made it to ten years.
LuLu Rogers 05-06-2008, 10:45 PM Pictures of Alan and Arlene, 51 years and still very much in love:

catlover79 05-07-2008, 01:00 AM Dick York was married 40+ years to his wife, Joan (he called her "Joey"). They stayed together in good times and bad (sitcom stardom, money, nice house w/ pool, back injury, painkiller addiction, bankrupty) and she was at his side when he passed in 1992.
His memoir (published 12 years after he died) is a wonderful book - a must for any Bewitched fan, of course. I also recommend it to anyone who believes in love. :love:

Ireneparalegal 05-16-2008, 09:14 PM They haven't been married long enough.
That's what I thought too. It is kinda sad when you see this thread is only 6 pages long. That says something. Either we are not good of thinking of more people or long celebrity marriages are a rarity. :eek:

I didn't notice if you suggested a minimum number of years to be considered for this thread, 20 sounds good to me but it's your thread.
Ireneparalegal 05-16-2008, 09:19 PM Whatever you think is a great celeb marriage that has been at least 15 years. I didn't specify but I think anything under 10 years is not a long time, at least by Hollywood standards. ;)
I don't consider people like singer Tom Jones who has been married to his wife for years either simply because he and his wife have admitted that he is a cheater and she is ok with that. I can't tolerate a woman (or man) who would allow such a thing. Ray Charles would not be welcome on my thread either. He is dead, but still, his marriage was filled with infidelity. ;)

Wow, awesome!!!!
I think Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are on this list somewhere, but after reading how they have an open marriage...they are no longer what I consider a great marriage. A great and loving marriage is one where fidelity is not allowed. :rolleyes: If you can't remain faithful, don't get married.

catlover79 04-09-2009, 12:22 AM Just thought of a couple more:
Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner were only married 5 years before she passed, but it was love at first sight. They were constantly together. Gene has been married to his current wife since 1991.
Robert Urich and Heather Menzies were married for 27 years until his passing in 2002. I always liked them - they were so sweet together.
One of my favorites, Karl Malden, has been married to his wife since.....
1938!!!!!
That's staying power! She was with him since before he broke into films, when he became a star, when he won an Oscar for Streetcar Named Desire, two children, grandchildren... all of it! And they're still married today.

Hawkee 02-15-2020, 04:01 AM When it comes to long lasting celebrity marriages the example I can give you is the marriage of Patti Labelle and her husband/manager Armstead Edwards and when Patti first met him it was love at first sight and when they got married you could tell how much Patti Labelle loves him because every single love song she sings in concert is dedicated to him. And when Patti and Armstead had their son Zuri it had made their marriage even much more stronger. Another celebrity couple that really had a lovely marriage was the late Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee and when they got married Ossie Davis made a perfect match for Ruby Dee and they had proven to be a perfect power couple and when Ossie Davis died it made Ruby Dee so sad that she had not only lost her husband but her best friend too. Even though they are both no longer living Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis still hold the record for longest successful celebrity marriage
