Hollywood Couples and Their Surprising Love Stories That Stood the Test of Time

Juan Williams & Susan Delise – Married Since 1978

Hard-hitting and hard-working, that’s the best way to describe newsman Juan Williams. As a journalist and political analyst for Fox News Channel, he has made waves as a Democrat in the Republican-dominated network.

Just like the resolution, he has shown to make it against the grain at Fox, so too has the shown resolve to make his marriage with Susan Delise work. He is a busy man, but always makes time to be with his wife. They have been going strong since 1978 and while she maintains a low profile, he continues to dominate at Fox.

Craig Melvin & Lindsay Czarniak – Married Since 2011

It’s not unusual for couples to meet while working in the same industry. It’s probably one of the most common ways for this to happen. This is how it worked for Craig Melvin and Lindsay Czarniak, who are both broadcast journalists and have been going strong for over a decade.

They tied the knot in October 2011, and share two children: a son and a daughter. What’s amazing is that they also work for opposing networks. Melvin is the anchor for NBC Today news, while Czarniak works for Fox as an NFL sideline reporter. She also hosts the NASCAR studio coverage.

Al Roker & Deborah Roberts – Married Since 1995

When it comes to weathermen, then Al Roker is a pretty special one. He has been in the game for over four decades and during that time has become one of the most loved members of the NBC Today crew. He also has a Guinness World Record for hosting the longest continuous weather report.

He has also been married to fellow NBC journalist Deborah Roberts since 1995. She has been an integral part of his life and kept him on his toes when it came to his weight loss goals. Robert meanwhile moved to rival network ABC, but their marriage appears to transcend that rivalry. They also share two children.

Gordon Ramsay & Tana Ramsay – Married Since 1996

Gordon Ramsey has built his entire TV career and reputation on being a volatile and grumpy celebrity chef who has a penchant for the odd curse word. But apparently, he is nothing like that at home. His wife since 1996, Tana Ramsey, can vouch for that.

He even showed patience when Tana was struggling to get pregnant, an obstacle they managed to negate. They now have five children, and continue to have a strong marriage. In 2022 he was part of the cooking show “Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars,” and also hosted another season of “Hell’s Kitchen.”

Rachael Ray & John M. Cusimano – Married Since 2005

They may come from different backgrounds, but Rachael Ray and her husband John M. Cusimano both work in TV. John has since moved into music though, making waves with his rock band The Cringe. They also make a pretty mean hosting couple when they do have guests over.

That’s because while Ray loved to cook, and is a renowned celebrity chef, Cusimano loves mixing drinks. He is famous with guests for a drink called Lost In The Woods made with gin, Green Chartreuse liqueur, lime juice, fennel fronds, and bulbs. Ray appeared in a series called “Tamron Hall” in 2022.

Aaron Rodgers & Shailene Woodley – Engaged Since 2020

Aaron Rodgers, Greenbay Packers quarterback, was building a life with retired NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. He even bought them a $28 million house to live in together. It’s no wonder then, that the world was surprised when they announced that they were ending their long-time relationship.
Rodgers didn’t even give himself time to mourn though. He was soon shacking up with actress Shailene Woodley. The couple started dating in 2020, soon after Rodgers and Patrick split. Woodley is famous for starring in the 2021 movie “The Mauritanian.” They got engaged in February 2021 after keeping their relationship secret for a long time.

Michael Strahan & Kayla Quick – Dating Since 2015

Everybody loved Michael Strahan’s relationship with Nicole Murphy, Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife. In fact, when news broke that they were splitting, some fans were truly cut up when they announced it. This is probably also why people haven’t taken to his new lady Kayla Quick. It had nothing to do with their age gap either.
It mostly revolves around Quick’s record with the law. She has been arrested for grand theft auto and disorderly conduct. But she must be good for him in some way. He pulled an April Fool’s joke in 2021, saying he had his iconic gap closed! He also served as producer on a series called “Last Chance U” in 2021.

Troy Aikman & Catherine Mooty – Married For 3 Years

At one point Troy Aikman was one of Texas’s most eligible bachelors. This to go with his status as the longest-serving starting quarterback in the history of the Dallas Cowboys NFL franchise. All of this adds to his legend in Texas that he was once in a relationship with Rhonda Worthey, the publicist for the Cowboys.

But that wasn’t a long term, not as long term as his relationship with Catherine Mooty. They got engaged and married in 2017 and she appears to have pinned him down. The swiftness of their marriage indicates how serious they are about each other. They don’t share children but do have children from previous marriages.

Mike Tyson & Lakiha Spicer – Married Since 2009

Not long after the death of his four-year-old daughter, Exodus, Mike Tyson married Lakiha Spicer. It wasn’t the best way for them to enter into nuptials, but it was a coping mechanism for him, and one that worked, and their marriage has gone from strength to strength since.

He made many improvements and they did this together by changing their lifestyle while also removing toxic people from their lives. Tyson has been getting back into training after leaving it for fear that his ego would cause him to backslide. In 2021 a two-part mini-series titled “Mike Tyson: The Knockout” aired on ABC.

Sean Hannity & Ainsley Earhardt – Dating Since 2020

Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt go together like spaghetti and meatballs. They share the same sentiments about a great many things, including their support for former U.S. President Donald Trump. They were two of the few who remained steadfast in their support and continue to do so.

They also agree on denying that they are in a relationship, although that became harder to do when they arrived at Pete Hegseth and Jennifer Rauchet’s wedding together in a helicopter. This just fueled the rumor even further, since Earnhardt also spent most of the lockdown broadcasting from Hannity’s basement since 2020.

Michael Jordan & Yvette Prieto – Married Since 2013

Regarded as the greatest basketball player in history, Michael Jordan is legendary, wealthy, and attractive. With an intro like that he should have no problem landing any woman he wants, even if a said woman doesn’t have a clue about basketball. Plus he’s a pretty charming guy, so he doesn’t even have to use those facts.

His charm was most likely enough to land his wife, Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto. They have been married since 2013 and have a pair of identical twins. This adds to Jordan’s three children from a previous relationship. In 2021 he was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

Terry Crews & Rebecca King-Crews – Married Since 1989

Terry Crews spent six-year playing for five different franchises in the NFL. But that career never panned out and he decided to pursue a career in acting instead. This worked out pretty well. He landed his first role in the Ice Cube film “Friday After Next.”

But he gained traction when he starred in the hit series “Everybody Hates Chris” playing the father of Chris Rock. But from the beginning of his NFL career, one person has been by his side. That is his wife Rebecca King. They have been married since 1989 and have five children. Since 2021 he has been starring in the series “Side Hustle.”

Barbra Streisand & James Brolin – Married Since 1998

When it comes to accomplishments, James Brolin has done pretty well. He has won a Golden Globe and Emmy award, and also starred in films like Westworld and Amityville Horror. He also gave the world Josh Brolin aka Thanos. But his achievement is nowhere near that of his wife… Barbra Streisand.

She has of course been in the industry from a young age and is known for becoming the youngest EGOT winner in history. They met on a blind date and have been going strong since 1998. Brolin served as narrator for the 2021 Netflix hit show “Sweet Tooth.”

Bruce Willis & Emma Heming Willis – Married Since 2009

Known for his roles in films like Die Hard and The Sixth Sense, Bruce Willis is a pretty versatile actor. He was also once in the most talked-about Hollywood marriage of the ‘90s when he was shacking up with the sultry Demi Moore. The marriage never lasted and they split up in 2000.
Nine years later he was married to English model Emma Heming. He was so into her they married twice, first in a traditional wedding at the Turks and Caicos Islands, and then a legal one in Beverly Hills. Willis recently announced his retirement from acting after being diagnosed with Aphasia.

Doug Davidson & Cindy Fisher – Married Since 1984

It seems like soap operas just love pairing actors and actresses together. Doug Davidson and Cindy Fisher are renowned for their roles on the long-running American soap “The Young and the Restless.” But they are another soap pair who have taken their on-screen love off-screen.

They go back all the way to 1980 when they started dating. This was until 1984 when they tied the knot. They have since raised a family, with two children. Davidson had left “The Young and the Restless,” for a while, but returned for a short stint in 2020.

Juan Williams & Susan Delise – Married Since 1978

Hard-hitting and hard-working, that’s the best way to describe newsman Juan Williams. As a journalist and political analyst for Fox News Channel, he has made waves as a Democrat in the Republican-dominated network.

Just like the resolution, he has shown to make it against the grain at Fox, so too has the shown resolve to make his marriage with Susan Delise work. He is a busy man, but always makes time to be with his wife. They have been going strong since 1978 and while she maintains a low profile, he continues to dominate at Fox.

Loni Anderson & Bob Flick – Married Since 2008

It took her four tries, but it appears that actress Loni Anderson has finally found a marriage that can work for her. This is with Bob Flick, a musician and member of The Brothers Four, a ‘60s folk band. Ironically, they met way back in 1963, before Anderson married her first husband.

She could have saved herself a lot of strife, but in the end, the multiple Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actresses found her man. They have been married since 2008 and she was walked down the aisle by her son Quinton Reynolds, who she adopted with her third husband, Burt Reynolds.

Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn – Dating Since 1983

So here’s the thing, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel have been dating since 1983. Kate Hudson, Hawn’s daughter, considers Russel her father. They are married in every possible way, accepting the fact that they have never had a ceremony. Hawn has given her reasoning for this though.

She says that, if they were to get married, things would fall apart almost immediately. This is why she prefers remaining in a relationship. It’s worked for them so far and they also share a son named Wyatt, who is also an actor. Russel had a role in the 2021 film “F9: The Fast Saga.”

Harrison Ford & Calista Flockhart – Married Since 2010

Harrison Ford is still regarded as one of the most attractive men in Hollywood. This was no different in 2002 when he was 60 and managed to land “Ally McBeal” star Calista Flockhart. They played the long game too, dating until 2009 before getting engaged on Valentine’s Day that year.

One year later they had tied the knot. They don’t share any biological children but have adopted a child together. This goes with Ford’s four children from a previous relationship. In 2020 Ford showed he still has it starring in the adventure film “The Call of the Wild.”

Dr. Phil & Robin McGraw – Married Since 1976

Since the dawn of the “Dr. Phil” show, one thing has been a constant: he walks onto the set with his wife Robyn and walks off with her when the episode is over. This is how he set the example to couples out there, and something he has probably learned from experience.

That’s because, before he met and married Robyn in 1973, he had been divorced from his first wife. He and Robyn have since built a stable life together, and had two children, including writer and producer Jay McGraw. Up until 2021, Dr. Phil has served as a producer on a show called “Bull.”

Cameron Diaz & Benji Madden – Married Since 2015

Hey but wasn’t she a movie star once? Yes, that’s exactly what you’d say if you ran into Cameron Diaz in the street. She retired from acting in 2017, citing the fatigue from traveling as the main reason she left the industry. But perhaps her husband, Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden, had something to do with it.

They have been married since 2015 and met after they were introduced by mutual friend Nicole Ritchie, who saw the potential in their union. They had their first child in December 2019, and despite retiring, Diaz is still a busy woman and has been running an organic wine company called Avaline.
