Love is Meant till Eternity: Proven By 25 of the Long-Lasting Celebrity Relationships in Hollywood

Love is meant till eternity, 25 of the long-lasting celebrity relationships in Hollywood prove that.

True love is eternal and a surprising number of Hollywood couples have proved that if you stick by each other through the thick and thin of life, nothing can separate you. Let’s take a look at some romances that have stood the test of time.

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell: 15 years

Shepard and Bell started their relationship in 2007. They tied knots in a restrained courthouse ceremony back in 2013. The couple shares two kids together.

They have a lot of encouraging quotes about love and advice to share, from never walking out on a quarrel to supporting therapy for couples. Shepard’s advice about keeping the magic alive is one of our picks.

“Your lady wants to know that you’re still very interested in her as a human being, that there are still questions that you haven’t asked,” Shepard stated on “Ellen” in 2018. He added, “Go to dinner and ask questions and spend the time as if you just met this person at a bar. That’s what’s exciting I think.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel: 15 years

Timberlake and Biel have had some weak footings in their relationship. In 2011, the duo broke up for three months, before deciding to give it another shot. Luckily, their second chance kicked off their relationship in a positive direction and they have been unruffled ever since.

Even though they went through some hard times, Biel had no doubt whatsoever. She still has an email saved that she sent to her singer spouse early in their relationship that read, “I will marry this man.” 

After they tied the knot in 2012, the couple welcomed their son Silas in 2015. In 2020, Biel gave birth to their second child, Phineas, after the duo kept the pregnancy secret.

This inspiring couple crossed paths in 2006 on the set of Legend’s music video for “Stereo,” and they have been together since then, with an exception of a 30-minute breakup back in 2007.

Since then, they have never looked back and got married, starred together in a music video, had two loveable children, and built a kingdom.

“There are some famous couples I look at and I’m like, ‘Ugh, we get it. Stop trying so hard, you’re so lame.’ I think people definitely think that about us,” Teigen said on a lighter note talking to Vanity Fair in December 2019.

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves: 16 years

McConaughey and Alves are together since 2006, and later got married in 2012. The modest couple lives in Texas, and they share three kids.

In 2016, the “Dallas Buyers Club” star, while revealing the story of his proposal with Esquire, stated, “I remember hitting the knee, looking into her eyes. I remember her face. I remember this smile coming up from her feet. I remember her having to catch her breath.” He added, “And she didn’t say yes right away. And then the whole family was going, ‘Jeezus, she’s gonna say no.'”

Talking about Alves, he said, “A good woman gives a man courage and confidence — the courage to have the confidence to go and do it, to not be worried as much or consider as much what the rest of the world thinks.”

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi: 17 years

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi met back in 2004 and the duo later married in 2008.

In October 2016, when Ellen featured on the cover of People magazine, she opened up about her marriage to her “best friend.”

Despite being royals, Kate and William labeled their relationship fun-loving like everyone else. 

“Obviously we both have a very fun time together, both have a very good sense of humor about things, we’re down to earth, we take the mickey out of each other a lot, and she’s got plenty of habits that make me laugh that I tease her about,” Prince William stated during their engagement ceremony. 

They share three children together named George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka: 18 years

This super couple has two very unlike memories of their encounter on 9th Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in New York City.

“We have a two week rule,” Damon revealed to Your Tango in 2015. “I’m not away for more than two weeks. I think you need to be with the person you love as much as possible. My wife is my soul mate. I don’t like being apart from her.”

In 2010, Corbett stated while talking to People that being with him requires “infinite patience and almost zero ego.” And while the couple has been together for nearly two decades, he asserts that, “We’re too old for soulmates. She’s [63] and I’m [58]. Soulmates is for Romeo and Juliet. This is, ‘Hey, I try not to fart too loud in your presence.'”

Derek, in 2008, said for her part, that Corbett is “just fun, so much fun. I’m very happy now.”

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher: 20 years

With Cohen mostly famous for his notorious characters, like Borat, their relationship is far from conventional. 

“Instead of asking, ‘Are you going to pick up the dry cleaning?’ I’d ask, ‘Are we getting sued by somebody?’ or ‘Is there a warrant out for your arrest?'” Fisher stated in 2016 to Square Mile magazine.

Notwithstanding her persistent qualms, she’s still courageous enough for the thrilling escapades her spouse takes them on. She even aided him to sneak in his barred Ali G costume to the Oscars.

“What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real,” Beyonce elucidated to Essence magazine in 2008. She also had a sitting with Oprah back in 2012 to enlighten a bit more though.

Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld: 23 years

The Seinfeld couple tied the knot on Christmas Day in 1999. Though their relationship had an unpromising start as Jessica was still officially married to her first spouse when she started dating the comedian.

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan: 34 years

Fox and Pollan crossed paths on the set of Fox’s 1980s sitcom “Family Ties,” in which Fox played getaway character Alex P. Keaton and Pollan joined the party to play Ellen; one of Alex’s girlfriends.

It’s not easy to fall in love, but it’s even more difficult to stay in love unless you are committed and determined with your significant other. These beloved Hollywood celebrities are concrete proof that love must be cherished, and no hard times must deter you to go along nicely together as a couple.
