Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer – 11 Years Together

Shuttterstock
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.
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!
Mary Nightingale and Paul Fenwick – 22 Years Together
Mary Nightingale is a journalist hailing from the United Kingdom. She is also a television presenter who is known for her work on ITV’s “Evening News” program. She has been hosting since 2001. She also presented the Holiday program on BBC One and co-presented the show “Carlton Country.”

She married Film Producer Paul Fenwick in a secret wedding in 2000, and they are still going strong. He is the founder and owner of Mazza Films and was also a co-owner of Ocicat Limited. The pair also has two children together. Nightingale may be in the limelight, but her family stays out of it.
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!

Shuttterstock
In an interview for Out Magazine, Ford said that he knew he would marry Buckley after only their setting meeting. Soon enough, they were dating and moved in together within the year. Over the years, Buckley helped Ford build his world-famous brand. Now, they have one son, Alexander John.
Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani – 10 Years Together
Everyone’s favorite CNN news anchor, Anderson Cooper, has always remained incredibly tight-lipped about his romantic life. While he has no problem telling people he’s gay, he wants to keep his private life, well, just that – private! However, even Cooper had to make an announcement when he and his boyfriend of 10 years, Benjamin Maisani, parted ways in 2018. “Benjamin and I separated as boyfriends some time ago. We are still family to each other, and love each other very much,” Cooper told People Magazine. Still, he did add that “we remain the best of friends and will continue to share much of our lives together.”

Shuttterstock
However, it seems that not everything might be over between the two. In 2020, Cooper announced the birth of his son, Wyatt, and Maisani was in the delivery room. “[Wyatt] ‘s my family and I want him to be Wyatt’s family, as well,” Cooper said.
Adam Lambert And Sauli Koskinen – 3 Years Together
In case you don’t remember, singer Adam Lambert finished as the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol. However, over the years, he’s become much more successful than most American Idol winners! In addition to taking over lead vocal duties for the mega-bestselling band Queen, Lambert has enjoyed quite the solo career as well.

Shuttterstock
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.
Michael Kors and Lance LePere – 10 Years Together
While you might not know Michael Kors by name, you almost certainly know his self-titled brand Kors. After all, it is one of the biggest producers of accessories, jewelry, footwear, and fragrances in the entire world.

Shuttterstock
Meanwhile, Kors has another claim to fame: he became one of the first gay men to marry in New York, once the law allowed for it. 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.

Shuttterstock
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.
Colton Haynes and Jeff Leatham – 1 Year Together
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.

Shuttterstock
“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.

Shuttterstock
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.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita – 11 Years Together
Best known for his role as Mitchell Pritchett on the sitcom Modern Family, for which he won five consecutive Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson is one of the most prominent gay actors in Hollywood. However, unlike many stars in Tinseltown, he decided to marry someone outside of the business. That’s right!

Shuttterstock
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!
Michael Sam and Vito Cammisano – 2 Years Together
Who can ever forget the day that Michael Sam joined the NFL? After all, once the St. Louis Rams drafted him in 2014, Sam became the first publicly gay player drafted in the NFL., playing for both the Rams and the Dallas Cowboys. Upon moving to Montreal and joining the CFL, he also became the first gay player there!

Shuttterstock
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.”

Shuttterstock
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!
Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef – 5 Years Together
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.

Shuttterstock
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!
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka – 15 Years Together
Multi-talent Neil Patrick Harris and actor and chef David Burtka, have been together since 2004. The couple kept their relationship a secret until 2006, when Harris came out as a gay man. The two moved in together shortly after and made their first public appearance at the 2007 Emmy Awards.

Shuttterstock
They married in 2014 and their mutual friend, Elton John, performed at the ceremony. Burtka and Harris are parents to twins Gideon Scott and Harper Grace, who were born via a surrogate mother in 2010. They also enjoy making us swoon with their adorable family Halloween pictures on Instagram.
Matt Bomer and Simon Halls – 10 Years Together
Actor Matt Bomer and Hollywood publicist Simon Halls dated for some time before tying the knot in 2011. The duo first met on professional terms when Halls worked as a publicist for Bomer. They decided to keep their romance a secret for a long time.

Shuttterstock
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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Shuttterstock
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
Actress Jane Lynch has become one of the most famous stars in Hollywood, thanks to her roles in movies like The 40-Year Old Virgin and Wreck-It-Ralph, as well as the hit T.V. show Glee. 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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Just Jared
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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Shuttterstock
“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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Shuttterstock
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!

Shuttterstock
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.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi – 15 Years Together
This all-around power couple has been together since 2004. They first met backstage at an award show. While they were both dating other people at the time, the two quickly felt a strong bond, becoming a couple shortly after.

Shuttterstock
Degeneres and De Rossi married at their Beverley Hills home in a small wedding in 2008. The two funny ladies work together on several serious causes, including animal welfare, fighting hunger, AIDS in and outside of Africa, and promoting LGBT rights and equality.
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.

Shuttterstock
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.

Palm Springs Magazine
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.
