Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Lambert fell hard for Finnish reporter and reality T.V. star Sauli Koskinen while performing a concert in Finland. The couple dated from November 2010 until April 2013, when Lambert announced the two would split. While they said in a statement that they planned to remain friends, they have not been seen together since then, to the dismay of fans.

David Muir and Gio Benitez – 1 Year Together

Back in 2014, rumors began cropping up that famed 20/20 host David Muir had started a suspicious, behind-the-scenes relationship with his colleague, Gio Benitez. As time passed, everyone felt truly stunned that neither Muir nor Benitez came out and denied the rumors! So, as the power couple started to spend more time together, fans began to expect that an announcement would come soon. Sadly, it never happened…

Finally, in 2016, the rumors came to an end: Benitez married Tommy DiDario, disappointing many of Muir’s fans. Since then, the T.V. host has remained single, and still never comments on his personal life. Today, many fans continue to hope Muir will find true love soon!

Kors and his husband, fellow designer Lance LePere, married back in 2011, in a beautiful ceremony on Dune Beach. While their relationship initially raised some eyebrows, as LePere once worked as an intern for Kors, they have stood the test of time and remain very happy today.

Lance Bass and Michael Turchin – 10 Years Together

When Lance Bass sang as a member of the hit boy band NSYNC, he did not talk much about his personal life. Finally, in his autobiography, Bass revealed why: he was simply not ready to come out as gay. Now that he has, though, the singer and Dancing with the Stars performer feels better than ever.

Off-screen, Bass began dating painter and actor Michael Turchin in 2011, after meeting on Facebook of all places! Just a few years later, in December 2014, the two married in a beautiful ceremony at the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. It was broadcast as part of the television special Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding, making them the first same-sex couple to have a wedding on television.

Actor-model Colton Haynes and his long-time boyfriend Jeff Leatham wed in October 2017. A real celebrity event, Kris Jenner kicked off the wedding party at the Palm Spring Hotel. However, even a great party could not save the marriage. “Jeff and Colton have been having relationship issues since a couple of months after the wedding,” an insider told U.S. Magazine just months after the wedding.

“Since Colton stopped talking to a lot of his old friends, he was getting really depressed and didn’t feel like himself,” they continued. Later, the Arrow actor took to Twitter to deny rumors about why their relationship ended. “He’s an amazing man. Please stop being mean to him,” Haynes said. Still, the two separated after six months, officially ending their relationship a year after that.

Elton John and David Furnish – 26 Years Together

Legendary singer Elton John and filmmaker David Furnish were among the first U.K.’s LGBTQ couples to form a civil partnership in 2005. However, the pair started dating back in 1993. Despite tabloid gossip about their 15-years age gap, John took the opportunity to propose to Furnish at a dinner party surrounded by family and friends. The two then married in 2014, after the U.K. legalized gay marriage.

Furnish and John share two sons, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Furnish-John. They were both born through the same surrogate mother. These days, John has retired from touring but still occasionally performs a one-off show. Both John and Furnish also co-run Rocket Pictures, a film studio.

However, unlike many stars in Tinseltown, he decided to marry someone outside of the business. That’s right!

Ferguson announced his engagement to lawyer Justin Mikita in 2012, after nearly two years of dating. They married just a year later, in a small ceremony. Congrats are in order, as the couple recently had their first son, Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita, in July, 2020. We’re sure they’ll make great parents!

Upon moving to Montreal and joining the CFL, he also became the first gay player there!

No one will ever forget that draft day either, when Sam kissed his boyfriend, swimmer Vito Cammisano. The two met while attending the University of Missouri together. Sadly, it seems that things were not meant to last. While the pair announced their engagement in early 2015, by the end of the year, they had gone their separate ways.

George Takei and Brad Altman – 34 Years Together

For many, many years, Star Trek fans suspected the actor George Takei, beloved for his role as Mr. Sulu, was gay. However, it wasn’t until 2005 that he finally felt ready to come out – though he doesn’t think of it that way. “It’s not really coming out, which suggests opening a door and stepping through,” Takei explained. “It’s more like a long, long walk through what began as a narrow corridor that starts to widen.”

At the time, Takei also revealed that he had been in a loving relationship for over 18 years, to actor Brad Altman. The two married just a few years later, in 2008, and have remained so ever since. Congrats!

As one of the few openly gay Latino singers, Ricky Martin has become an inspiration for millions around the world. Meanwhile, he has also become an inspiration to anyone in a relationship! Back in 2016, Martin started dating Syrian-Swedish painter Ricky Martin and hasn’t looked back since. “I’m scrolling and I see this beautiful piece of art and I’m like, ‘Whoa, how cool! Who’s this?’ Then I start checking and all of a sudden I’m like, ‘Ooh, ooh.’ And then I wrote to him,” Martin said of finding his man.

The two married a couple of years later, in 2018, and now have four children together. They have also become activists fighting to ensure that everyone around the world can love who they want. How incredible!

Tom Ford and Richard Buckley – 35 Years Together

Undoubtedly one of the wealthiest and most famous couples in the fashion industry, designer Tom Ford and fashion journalist Richard Buckley have been together since 1986. As you can probably guess, they met at a fashion show. At the time, Ford had just turned 25, while Buckley was 38. However, their age difference did not stop the instant attraction!

Bomer, who is known for his roles on Broadway and films such as Magic Mike and The Magnificent Seven, is 14 years younger than Halls. However, that doesn’t seem to bother the pair a bit. The couple has three children together, Henry, 11, Walker, 11, and the eldest of the three, Kit, 14. Both Bomer and Halls maintain an honest relationship and look after their kids as responsible fathers.

Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak – 15 Years Together

Jim Parsons is a very familiar face to most people due to his performance on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, where he portrayed the character of Sheldon Cooper. Turns out he has been married to his husband producer Spiewak for four years now, and everything seems to be going great.

It took some time for the two to finally tie the knot though. We are talking about a long wait of 15 years in total here. Quite some time! In an interview Parsons revealed that the event impacted him a lot when it finally happened. “It was so much more meaningful in the moment for me than I predicted, and it’s been resonantly much more meaningful than for me afterward than I ever saw coming,” he said in an interview. The next couple has also been married for four years.

RuPaul and Georges LeBar – 4 Years Together

Singer and songwriter RuPaul and range manager Georges LeBar have something in common with the last couple, and that is that they have also been going strong for fours years now. There seems to not be anything with the ability to split them apart.

RuPaul has stated that Lebar isn’t someone that is into the Hollywood lifestyle, but that has not been a negative factor in their lives at all: “I met him on the dance floor at Limelight in 1994 on his birthday. We got married this year [2017] on the anniversary of when we met . . . He doesn’t care about show business at all. He could care less. Most of the time, he’s on the ranch in Wyoming. He has a 60,000-acre ranch—it’s in two states, it’s in South Dakota, too. When I go there, I dress up in Western wear and nobody cares.” RuPaul said in an interview.

Cheyenne Jackson and Jason Landau – 7 Years Together

These two actors have been married even longer, since 2014 actually. Cheyenne Jackson and Jason Landau now have twins together, and we hope that the family is doing very well. The two met after Jackson had decided to call it quits with his ex husband. Soon after pictures started emerging with him and Landau and the two got engaged in 2014 and also married the same year.

Jackson is someone you might recognize from the horror series American Horror Story as well as the comedy series Glee. Landau has been on the drama series American Dreams for several seasons. These days he is less into acting however and more into various entrepreneurship ventures.

Jane Lynch And Lara Embry – 5 Years Together

Meanwhile, while at a 2009 fundraising event in San Francisco, Lynch met clinical psychologist Lara Embry, and sparks immediately flew. Just a year later, the two married in a private ceremony.

Sadly, things were not meant to last. By 2013, things had started to fall apart, and Lynch and Embry began their separation. Since separating, Lynch has remained on the market – hopefully, she finds love soon enough!

Kate McKinnon And Jackie Abbott – 4 Years Together

In 2017, actresses Jackie Abbot and Kate McKinnon made quite the splash when they decided to take their relationship public at that year’s Emmy Awards. Of course, fans know McKinnon from hits like Saturday Night Live and the recent Ghostbuster reboot. Meanwhile, Abbot has been an indie darling for some time, starring in comedies like Miss Sugar and My Tweet.

It also surprised many as McKinnon has never been an open person, nor talked about her sexuality. Since locking lips with Abbot on the red carpet, though, the actress has been much more open. Her biggest influence? Ellen DeGeneres! “[Ellen] risked her entire life and her entire career in order to tell the truth, and she suffered greatly for it,” McKinnon said to G.Q. later. “Of course, attitudes change, but only because brave people like Ellen jump into the fire to make them change.”

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer – 3 Years Together

Model Stella Maxwell and Twilight star Kristen Stewart are one of Hollywood’s most notorious on-and-off-and-on-again couples. Due to their rocky relationships, neither confirmed their relationship, nor posted any pictures together online. However, that did not stop paparazzi from taking pictures of them shopping hand-in-hand or sharing a few kisses aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean.

Sadly, recently, it seems that Stewart and Maxwell are on yet another break. But fans of the couple should not worry too much. As Stewart explained to Harper’s Bazaar, she always retains a love for her past partners. “I’ve been deeply in love with everyone I’ve dated.”

Wanda Sykes and Alex Sykes – 15 Years Together

Even today, some three decades after her start in comedy, Wana Sykes remains one of the biggest names in the business. While she became quite famous as a stand-up comedian, Sykes truly became a household name after starring on the likes of CBS’ The New Adventures of Old Christine, HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, and ABC’s Black-ish, all massive hits in their own right.

Meanwhile, behind the camera, Skyes has one of the most committed marriages in all of Tinseltown. She has been married to her wife, French kitchen designer Alex Niedbalski, back in 2008, and they have remained together ever since. Just a year later, the two became parents, after Niedbalski had the couple’s twins, Olivia and Lucas.

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor – 5 Years Together

Plenty of celebrities want to keep their relationships a complete secret. Meanwhile, others want to share everything with the world. But most, like all of us, fall somewhere in the middle. However, it’s much harder for a star to strike a healthy balance. Just ask iconic Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, who first started dating back in 2015. Despite their over-three-decades age gap, the two fell instantly for one another. But privacy has never been easy.

“On one hand, when you’re in a relationship that makes you happy, you would be telling anyone who wanted to know about it,” Paulson recently explained to Cosmopolitan Magazine. “On the other, there’s a sort of … meal of it for people … That’s not my favorite thing. But I don’t want to spend my life jumping from shadow to shadow.”

Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer – 11 Years Together

Of all stars, country musicians sometimes face the most considerable challenges to coming out. Country music artist Chely Wright certainly knows that. However, these days, she has no problem telling everyone that she’s madly in love with her wife of ten years. The two met just a couple of weeks after Wright came out and quickly fell in love.

While Wright certainly faced intense backlash when she came out, she now knows it was the right choice. “The freedom of being out and open about who I am allowed me to find and fall in love with Lauren – the most amazing woman I’ve ever known,” she explained in a recent interview.

Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison – 6 Years Together

Incredibly, actress-turned-director Jodie Foster has been hard at work in Tinseltown for over five decades. That’s right! While she became a household name thanks to hit dramas like Taxi Driver and The Silence of the Lambs, Foster now mainly works, helming movies like The Beaver, starring Mel Gibson.

That work ethic also follows her personal preferences: Foster’s such a private person that she doesn’t even like walking the red carpet. However, when she does hit the red carpet, she does so with her wife, actress and photographer Alexandra Hedison, who starred in the HBO series The L Word. Foster and Hedison married in 2014, in a – you guessed it – very private ceremony.

Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli – 5 Years Together

In just a few years, actress Samira Wiley has become one of the biggest in the world, thanks to her roles on both Orange Is The New Black and The Handmaid’s Tale. However, while the actress might be a household name, her wife of four years, Orange Is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli. It seems that love can blossom in even the most stressful of environments!

Since marrying in 2017, Wiley and Morelli have remained one of Hollywood’s most iconic gay couples, even earning a space on Out magazine’s “OUT100” the year they married. Earlier this year, Morelli gave birth to the couple’s first child, daughter George Elizabeth.

Robin Roberts and Amber Laign – 16 Years Together

The television broadcaster Robin Roberts and her wife massage therapist Amber Laign have been married ever since 2005. That is quite a long time by today’s standards, and especially by Hollywood standards.

Among many couples there seems to have been an impact from the pandemic in a negative sense, such as a lot of frustration. This has not been the case with these two. “We spent more time together this past year than in the previous 15 years combined. We’ve never been stronger.” Roberts said in an interview with PEOPLE.

Barry Manilow and Garry Kief – 43 Years Together

We move on to another marriage that is still strong and healthy. Singer Barry Manilow and the executive producer Garry Kief have been married since 2014. Their relationship itself goes back even further though, more than 40 years as of date.

The two met already back in 1978. Manilow says that meeting Kief put a lucky spin on his life since he prior to that had felt pretty lonely in his life. Their wedding also seemed to mean a lot to him. “It was deeper than we thought it was going to be, looking at each other, saying, ‘I love you’ in front of people.” he said in an interview with PEOPLE.

Rachel Maddow and Susan Mikula – 20 Years Together

If you’re a news junkie, you know that most journalists are simply too busy to marry! Rachel Maddow certainly seemed like another famous T.V. anchor who would never walk down the aisle. But many don’t know she’s been in the same relationship for decades. Of course, today, Maddow is busier than ever between moderating debates and her self-titled news program.

In her personal life, Maddow met and started dating Susan Mikula while in college in 1999. From there, things turned into a loved story for the ages. Unfortunately, for many of those years, Maddow and Mikula could not marry, due to laws in the United States. However, even since the legalization of gay marriage, the couple has decided to continue life unwed!

Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt – Unknown Time Together

In case you didn’t hear, Fox News has its first couple, as hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt have been “quietly dating for years,” according to People Magazine. Since then, while Hannity and Earhardt have remained hush-hush about a relationship, some Fox News workers have come out and confirmed the couple. This shouldn’t surprise fans, as Hannity has always been incredibly quiet about his love life.

If it’s true, there’s no denying it: Hannity and Earhardt will undoubtedly be one of the most powerful couples in the news, should they ever go public. Plus, with a combined net worth of nearly $50 million, don’t expect this celebrity couple to go anywhere anytime soon!

Don Lemon and Tim Malone – 4 Years Together

Sorry all you fans out there, but news anchor Don Lemon is engaged! The CNN star recently became engaged to his boyfriend, real estate agent Tim Malone. They met while both working as real estate agents in New York a few decades ago.

While the couple has remained engaged for a few years, Lemon and Malone say that moving slowly is the way their relationship has always gone. For his part, Lemon has said he felt afraid he might not fall in love. Meanwhile, Malone always thought he was simply too busy for marriage. However, despite their reservations, Lemon finally popped the question after his 35th birthday. They haven’t walked down the aisle yet, but we wish them the best of luck when they do!

Erin Burnett and David Rubulotta – 8 Years Together

One of the most famous news anchors out there, Erin Burnett hosts Erin Burnett OutFront on CNN, a massive hit for the channel. Meanwhile, she has also had a part in creating several other popular shows, including NBC Nightly News, Morning Joe, Meet the Press, and she even starred in a season of The Celebrity Apprentice. That’s quite a resume!

With all those plates spinning, you might think it would be hard for Burnett to find time for love, but not so! Burnett met financial advisor David Rubulotta on a blind date back in 2003. A former Lehman Brothers trader and current Citigroup managing director, Rubulotta managed to impress the news anchor from the very first second. Burnett and Rubulotta engaged back in 2011 and tied the knot a year later, in 2012. Now, the two have three beautiful children together!

James Brolin and Barbra Streisand – 21 Years Together

As both James Brolin and Barbra Streisand have earned an Oscar, they are quite a Hollywood power couple! Of course, actor James Brolin is best known for his time in front of the camera. Meanwhile, his wife, Streisand, has been one of the most famous singers ever for decades, and one of the few who have successfully made the transition to acting.

If you didn’t know, Brolin and Streisand married in 1998, and they are still going strong today. “I met him at a dinner and expected a bearded mountain-man type, and he had cut off all his hair and was clean-shaven,” Streisand said to W Magazine. “I asked him, ‘Who screwed up your hair?’ He later told me that’s when he fell in love with me. My fella likes to hear the truth, which is unusual.”

Tucker Carlson and Susan Andrews – 18 Years Together

Of course, these days, Tucker Carlson is one of the most famous commentators in America, thanks to his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight. However, many of his fans don’t know that Carlson actually started his career as a print journalist, once authoring columns for The Weekly Standard. After deciding to pursue a television career, however, he truly hit it big!

Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes, Carlson and his wife, Susan Andrews, are high school sweethearts! It was love at first sight for both, and they have remained together for nearly three decades now. How impressive! The celebrity couple exchanged wedding vows back in 1991, and the marriage seems to still be incredibly worthwhile for both of them. Congrats!

Jay and Mavis Leno – 39 Years Together

If you didn’t know, Mavis Leno has been there since the start of her husband’s, famous comedian Jay Leno, career. The two met after one of Jay’s earliest Comedy Store appearances when she saw his set with some friends. Her first thoughts? “Oh my god, that comedian is gorgeous!” Afterward, Mavis felt brave enough to ask for a date, and four years later, the two married.

However, while this love story might seem like blind luck, Jay says it isn’t so. In fact, he has a bizarre theory on why they ended up together. According to the comedian, he’s uniquely attracted to women born on September 5, including his wife. “I don’t know what it is,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I don’t look for a woman born on September 5, I just wind up attracted to them!”

Adam and Jackie Sandler – 20 Years Together

Amazingly, comedian Adam Sandler and his wife Jackie will soon celebrate 22 years since they started dating. The year was 1999: Adam had just recently left Saturday Night Live, with hit films like The Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore already under his belt. Meanwhile, Jackie was a model and actress searching for her big break. The two met when she scored a role in Adam’s next major hit, Big Daddy.

When Big Daddy was released, in June of 1999, Adam and Jackie had started daring. A year later, Jackie made a massive life change to show her dedication to Adam: she converted to Judaism. Then, in 2003, the couple married, with stars like Jennifer Aniston and Rodney Dangerfield in attendance. Since that beautiful day, the Sandlers have had two daughters: Sadie, in 2006, and Sunny, in 2008.

T. R. Knight And Patrick Leahy – 15 Years Together

Most people still know actor T.R. Knight best from his breakout role on the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. Now, after more than a decade away from the show, Knight returned to the show in 2020. However, he returned as a changed man. You see, when Knight came back to Grey’s Anatomy, he was married!

Knight first met male ballet dancer and writer Patrick B. Leahy in 2006. But, unlike many other celebrity couples, Knight and Leahy did not marry right away. Instead, they decided to wait until 2013 to tie the knot. Well, it must have worked, as the two have remained together ever since!

Tina Turner and Erwin Bach – 35 Years Together

Of course, singer Tina Turner’s most famous partner will probably always remain fellow artist Ike Turner. However, a different, far less spotlight hungry man has been married to Tina for far longer than Ike ever was. That’s right! Turner met her now-husband, German record executive Erwin Bach, at an industry party back in London, in 1985.

While they began dating a year later, it took a while for things to take off, as Turner felt reluctant to date a man 16 years younger than her. As such, the two dated for a whopping 27 years before getting married in a grand, lavish civil ceremony on the banks of Lake Zurich in 2013. It must have been worth the wait!

Dolly Parton and Carl Dean John – 56 Yeas Together

Biography, Now To Love

Country music legend Dolly Parton and her husband, Carl Dean John, first met in 1964, falling immediately in love. In fact, they tied the knot less than two years later! While the adorable couple recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary, the media doesn’t cover them frequently. You see, John prefers to stay out of the limelight, often declining event tickets and interview offers.

While this might not seem like a match made in heaven, the couple says it works perfectly for them. “They say that opposites attract, and it’s true,” Parton told PEOPLE. “We’re completely opposite, but that’s what makes it fun. I never know what he’s gonna say or do. He’s always surprising me.”

Robert Wagner and Jill St. John – 37 Years Together

Sadly, when most people think of actor Robert Wagner’s love life, they think of his on-again-off-again relationship with actress Natalie Wood. Their tumultuous relationship, which involved two marriages and multiple children, began in the ’50s and ended with Wood’s untimely and mysterious drowning off Catalina Island in 1981.

For years after Wood’s death, Wagner never thought he would find love again. However, in 1983, Wagner began dating famous actress Jill St. John, who he has been friends with since the ’50s. After eight years of dating, the two lovebirds married in a small, private ceremony on May 26, 2000, and remain together today. Believe it or not, it’s the fourth marriage for both John and Wagner! Thankfully, their marriage lasted longer than all of their six previous marriages – combined!

Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni – 12 Years Together

Actress Cynthia Nixon certainly had everyone fooled for quite some time. She portrayed straight character of Miranda Hobbes on the HBO series Sex and the City so well that everyone assumed she was straight. However, that’s only half the truth, as Nixon came out as bisexual in 2012. And just a few years before that, in 2009, Nixon met the love of her life, activist Christine Marinoni.

“It was like, this person is undeniable. How can I let this person walk by?” Nixon recalled about meeting her wife. The two married in 2012, a year after Marinoni gave birth to their son, Max Ellington. Today they happily reside in Manhattan.

This time, sparks flew. Hawn and Russel started dating on Valentine’s Day 1986 and haven’t parted since.

Since then, the stars have had a child together, Wyatt, and are step-parents to each other’s children from previous relationships: Oliver and Kate Hudson and Boston Russell. Russel and Kate Hudson recently appeared in their first film together, the 2016 hit Deepwater Horizon.

Back in 1993, cupid shot his arrow on the set of the film Pontiac Moon, where Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen met for the first time. From there, the two quickly married in 1995 and lived happily ever after. They remain together today, some 27 years later.

While almost three decades might seem like a long time to spend with the same person, Danson says they are happier now than they ever have been. “I’m madly in love with Mary Steenburgen. She’s a remarkable human being, so I’m just incredibly blessed,” the actor told Us Weekly. “It feels like heaven on Earth. If I were to die, I can say I know what it’s like to be loved and to love.”

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne – 49 Years Together

Of course, everyone got a peek into the Osbournes’ personal life back in the 2000s, thanks to the groundbreaking reality television show The Osbournes. But many don’t know that Ozzy and Sharon have been a musical power couple for a long time. They first met when Sharon’s father, Don Arden, managed Ozzy’s heavy metal band, Black Sabbath. Soon, they became a couple, much to her father’s chagrin.

In 1979, Black Sabbath kicked Ozzy out, and he considered quitting music altogether. Thankfully, Sharon wouldn’t have it – she took over as his manager, cutting all ties with her father in the process. Since then, she has led Ozzy to massive solo success. The couple has three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, celebrities in their own rights, and they produce the Ozzfest metal festival together.

Mark and Marilou Hamill – 41 Years Together

Star Wars star Mark Hamill and his wife Marilou are one of Hollywood’s long-lasting couples, having been together for 41 years. The two married in 1978 and have three beautiful kids, all of whom love Star Wars, as you might imagine.

Of course, keeping a relationship together in Tinseltown is no easy matter. When asked how they managed to do it, Marilou credited the fact that neither she nor her husband are big partiers, which means they stay out of trouble and with one another. “We don’t live in town, so we don’t go in and do all the party circuits,” she said.

Guy and Lori Fieri – 25 Years Together

Most of us know celebrity chef Guy Fieri best for shows like Guy’s Grocery Games and Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, but few know that he’s also part of one of the longest-running celebrity relationships? Guy and his wife, Lori, have been together for 24 years! That’s not even the most impressive part: it didn’t start with kisses and roses!
