When The Stars Align – These Celeb Couples Have Never Been Happier

Ben Carson And Candy Rustin – Married Since 1975

Ben Carson and Candy Rustin began their long journey together after meeting at Yale University in 1971. They might say that opposites attract, but these lovebirds were peas of the same pod when it came to smarts, and that’s how they connected. Four years later, the impressive surgeon kissed his bride, and they began living as the Carson’s in Maryland.

If you ask us, the couple has had a successful marriage, considering they got three kids and several grandkids under their belt. Moreover, after several decades together, we are yet to hear any hints of a split in the camp.

Barack Obama And Michelle Robinson- Married Since 1992

After being the first family for two consecutive terms, Barack and Michelle Obama need no introduction. For the longest time, this power couple has been the standard to look up to, and we doubt that it will be changing any time soon.

The couple tied the knot in 1992, but their love story began in a rather exciting way. Michelle was assigned to mentor Barack when he joined their law firm, but it wasn’t until they attended a community organization meeting that the young lawyer caught her eye. They went on their first date shortly after that and have been inseparable since.

Adam Schiff And Eve Sanderson – Married Since 1995

Imagine being called Adam, and a friend sets you up to meet a lass named Eve! Brilliant, isn’t it? Well, that is what happened to American politician Adam Schiff, who met his wife Eve Sanderson at a tennis game in 1990, courtesy of their mutual friends.

The meeting turned out well, as the two dated for five years before deciding to exchange their vows in an intimate ceremony. Safe to say, the Garden of Eden has been blissful for Adam and Eve, as their love grows stronger with each passing day, supporting each other in their various endeavors. We wonder, though, does the pair actually have an apple orchard? Maybe we’ll find out soon!

Al Franken And Franni Bryson – Married Since 1975

When Al Franken first met his wife Franni Bryson in 1969, we doubt they knew they would spend over four decades together. It was love at first sight for the two then-students, and after dating for a couple of years, they tied the knot in 1975.

Two children down the line, the power couple is still going strong, having withstood the pressures that come with being in the limelight. They say that behind every successful man, there is a woman; well, no one knows this better than Franken, who has had Franni’s support in both his political and television career.

Al Gore And Elizabeth Keadle – Dating Since 2012

You might know Al Gore as an American politician and vocal environmentalist, but did you know that before meeting Elizabeth Keadle he was married? Unfortunately, the politician’s marriage to Tipper Aitcheson ended mutually after four decades, and while it was heartbreaking, it didn’t stop him from finding love again.

While details of how Al and Elizabeth met are pretty scanty and private, the pair haven’t hidden their relationship as, more often than not, they’re seen doting over each other in public. Whether the lovebirds will walk down the aisle remains to be seen, and we hope they will share with us the wedding photos when it happens.

Amy Klobuchar and John D. Bessler – Married Since 1993

Like the rest of us, influential politicians like to feel loved, and Amy Klobuchar is no different. The US senator met her husband, John Bessler, at a Minneapolis café in 1992 and it was love at first sight, with the two deciding to make it official a year later.

We bet mutual support and respect have enabled the couple to maneuver the murky waters of politics and be in the limelight, and we must say, they’ve done it to absolute perfection. John has been by his wife’s side during her campaigns and rallies, and don’t we relish seeing love win?

Andrew Yang And Evelyn Lu – Married Since 2011

Andrew Yang has had a relatively successful political career, and he even made his presidential aspirations public at some point. Yet, surprisingly, the businessman and politician still finds time in his busy schedule to perform his husband and fatherly duties to a tee. That’s how Andrew and Evelyn Lu have been able to maintain a happy union for almost a decade.

The family currently lives in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, and has another residence in New Paltz, New York, to their name. Yang and his wife have two sons they adore and cherish and have even been pictured going to church together. Indeed a family that prays together.

They might say that opposites attract, but these lovebirds were peas of the same pod when it came to smarts, and that’s how they connected.

Bernie Sanders And Jane O’Meara- Married Since 1988

Bernie Sanders has always been a man’s man, and his marriage to Jane O’Meara is a key testament to that. The couple tied the knot in 1988, but a day later, they were headed to the Soviet Union, where Bernie was part of an official delegation as mayor.

On the other hand, Jane came with impressive credentials after becoming the president of Burlington College. If there was ever a poster couple for a match made in heaven, this couple probably takes the cake. Since their union to date, Bernie and Jane have stuck by each other’s side, and nothing fazes this union.

Naga Munchhetty And James Haggar – Married Since 2007

Stunning BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchhetty has been married to her broadcast consultant hubby James Haggar since 2007. Although both of them have hectic careers that have not allowed them time to have any children, they share a magnetic love bond that sees them crave for that alone time together after a long day at work.

Munchhetty has an incredible skill combination that must have wowed Haggar a great deal, such as being an avid golfer, making mind-blowing cocktails, and playing classical piano and jazz trumpet. On the other hand, James is a devoted Tottenham Hotspur fan, and the two must keep a spare TV set to avoid fighting over the remote during soccer games.

Kate Silverton And Mike Heron – Married Since 2010

Sometimes it’s possible to be faced with analysis paralysis during dating, where you have so many potential candidates but don’t exactly know how to pinpoint the one. Broadcaster Kate Silverton was in such a phase when she crossed paths with her hubby Mike Heron during a war zone training course in 2005.

Although Kate felt that she had met the man of her dreams, she was afraid to commit and kept seeing other men until she finally hung her boots and exchanged vows with Mike in 2010. Thankfully, the man was always patiently waiting for his bride to come home, and they now have two children, Wilbur and Clemency, to show for it.

Sam Elliott And Katharine Ross – Married Since 1984

Hollywood relationships can either be a hit or miss, yet we think Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross’ love is genuinely something extraordinary. After more than three decades of marital bliss, ‘The Hero’ actor divulged that marriage is just like work, and it’s worth all the effort that comes with it.

Additionally, Elliott and Ross both agree that for a long as they don’t walk away from each other, then any problem can eventually get resolved – whether it’s big or small. No doubt, we should definitely take a leaf from this fantastic couple’s rulebook on marriage since it’s working so well on their end!

Kurt Russell And Goldie Hawn – Dating Since 1983

We’ve all heard several romantic celebrity love stories over the years, but there’s nothing quite like Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s relationship. The two have been thick as thieves since meeting on a movie set back in 1983, yet the couple decided to forego tradition and skip marriage altogether.

Naturally, everyone wondered why the besotteed duo wouldn’t make things official. The ‘Deepwater Horizon’ actor revealed that he and Goldie are happy where they are and don’t need a piece of paper to validate their love and devotion for each other. Suffice to say, this A-list duo is in it for the long haul indeed!
