30 Long Lasting Celebrity Couples Who Prove Love Exists In Tinsel Town

Hollywood romances. They're fleeting, to say the least, including the ones that end in marriage. I mean, do we all remember Britney Spears' 55-hour marriage And we all remember Kim K's marriage to that basketball player. That one didn't last long either. It was over within a year. But this list isn't about those unions that dissolve faster than Alka Seltzer tablets in water. It's taking a look at the Hollywood couples that have stood the test of time! [post_page_title]#30 Mark Whalberg and Rhea Durham[/post_page_title] This couple got married back in 2009. They're the "youngest" of the couples on this list, but they've still been together a while. [caption id="attachment_3079" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] Mark Whalberg has said that his key to keeping his family together is "[spending] quality time together. Really, that's what matters." With his work schedule the way it is, one would think that he doesn't manage much time, but somehow he does. It goes to show that if you really care, you'll make time for what is important.

[post_page_title]#29 Seth Rogan and Lauren Miller[/post_page_title] These two have been together since 2004 but didn't get engaged till 2011 and then got married a year later. The couple has been through a few rough patches, including Lauren's mother getting Alzheimer's, which inspired the couple to form Hilarity for Charity in order to support the cause. [caption id="attachment_3080" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

[post_page_title]#28 Matt and Luciana Damon[/post_page_title] Matt and Luciana married in 2004. While they've been married for that long, Damon still doesn't feel like he's qualified to give marriage advice to others. [caption id="attachment_3081" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] "I think marriage is insane," Matt said. "It's a crazy idea but I love being married to my wife. So I wouldn't tell anybody else anything about their relationship." Obviously, it can't be that insane of a marriage if they're making it work.

[post_page_title]#27 Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard[/post_page_title] This pair met in 2002 then married in 2009. They have two kids together. Both are well-known and regarded actors, and they both represent a new wave of Hollywood stars who make it work. [caption id="attachment_3082" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

[post_page_title]#26 Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prince Jr.[/post_page_title] This couple got married back in 2002. Since then, Gellar has been open about the fact that marriage is hard work. "You have to work at anything," she said. "It's any relationship in your life. You have to nurture it and take time with it." [caption id="attachment_3083" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] However, it is clear that not everything about their marriage is work for these two, otherwise, they wouldn't be together still. This couple were young when they got married, but have grown up great. Clearly, they're having fun together too.

[post_page_title]#25 Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen[/post_page_title] This couple was a slow burner, taking eight years to make it to the alter after meeting in 2002. Fisher did comment, "It's definitely not a normal relationship. You know there have been times in the past with the guerrilla-style film making of Borat and Bruno where there were surreal conversations: 'How many people are suing us? Are you wanted in any states? Are you alive?'" [caption id="attachment_3084" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] Since the days of Borat and Bruno, there is much more breathing room for the pair. Cohen isn't a fixture of pop culture that he was, but we have no doubt that Cohen's quirky sense of humor is keeping that spark fresh in their relationship.

[post_page_title]#24 Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi[/post_page_title] This adorable couple has been together since 2004 when they first began dating.

[caption id="attachment_3088" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

[post_page_title]#20 Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo[/post_page_title] We all know and love Amy Adams ever since we first saw her in her breakout role, Junebug.

[post_page_title]#19 Beyoncé and Jay Z[/post_page_title] Everyone's favorite power couple began their relationship in either 1999 or 2000, when Beyonce was just 19. The couple took their time, however, and they didn't get married until 2008 when Jay-Z proved he liked it so much he put a ring on it. [caption id="attachment_3090" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

[post_page_title]#16 Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld[/post_page_title] My mother always used to tell me that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Apparently, that bit of advice is true as it worked for Jessica Seinfeld on her husband Jerry. "Chicken parmesan! It's why Jerry wanted to marry me," she said. "It remains the glue of our family." [caption id="attachment_3093" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

[post_page_title]#11 Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness[/post_page_title] Millions of female fans around the world are enthralled by Hugh Jackman, who's impressed them with his singing, dancing, and acting skills - plus his hot body. But with so many women happy to give him attention, you'd think he'd be some kind of playboy, but he's actually not. He's happily married and only has eyes for his wife Deborra.

[post_page_title]#9 Joel McHale and Sarah Williams[/post_page_title] This couple has been married since 1996. McHale has some words of wisdom on how to make it work. He has said, "You have to choose your spouse every day. Tell yourself that this is the person that I love and want to be with. It has to be something that you do consciously, then it becomes subconscious." [caption id="attachment_3099" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] That is incredibly brilliant advice. Plus, it's a bit of a candid statement to come from a guy that is best known for his comedic exploits. But we suppose that there much be a much softer side to him as he's been happily married for such a long time.

[post_page_title]#8 Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern[/post_page_title] The famous and beloved Friends actress first met her French advertising executive husband, Michel Stern, six years prior to their marriage in 1995. [caption id="attachment_3100" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] "We respect each other's independence, and I don't mean that as a euphemism," Kudrow said. "I don't like to travel. So if he wants to go on a golf trip, he goes. I think people get in trouble when they assume they're supposed to be one unit, in sync about everything. Marriage is like being on a team. Each teammate is different, but you have the same goal."

[post_page_title]#7 Steve and Nancy Carell[/post_page_title] The hilarious couple first met back when Nancy took Steve’s improv class in the Second City comedy troupe in Chicago. They were married in 1995. Since then the pair have appeared together in numerous projects, the most notable being The Daily Show. [caption id="attachment_3101" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

[post_page_title]#6 Elton John and David Furnish[/post_page_title] The famous singer and his partner David first began officially dating in 1993. It wasn't until 2005 that they entered a civil partnership, which was recognized in England at the time. After that, the couple became parents to four-year-old Zachary and two-year-old Elijah - both of whom share the same surrogate mother. [caption id="attachment_3102" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

[post_page_title]#5 David Bowie and Iman[/post_page_title] The world lost an icon in 2016 when Bowie passed away. He and his wife Iman had been married since 1992. Apparently, it was love at first sight for Bowie, but Iman took a little more convincing. [caption id="attachment_3103" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] As she recalled, "For him [it was overwhelming]. I was not ready for a relationship. Definitely, I didn't want to get into a relationship with somebody like him. But as I always said: I fell in love with David Jones. I did not fall in love with David Bowie. Bowie is just a persona. He's a singer, an entertainer. David Jones is a man I met."

[post_page_title]#4 Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan[/post_page_title] This couple first met when Tracy played Michael's love interest on Family Ties. Romance sparked in real life and the couple made it official in 1988. "It's hard, but you just have to have the perspective that you’re behind each other's back," Tracy said, "and it helps if you can make each other laugh." [caption id="attachment_3104" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] This couple is definitely a rock-solid marriage as Tracy has been by Michael's side at pretty much all his public appearances - whether they're awards shows or charity benefits. Plus, she's been there through his Parkinson's diagnosis as well. Clearly, this couple has found love amid the business of everyday life.

[post_page_title]#3 Bryan Cranston and Robin Dearden[/post_page_title] The star of Breaking Bad married his wife back in 1989. Cranston credits therapy as part of the success of their marriage. "I see a [therapist] in L.A. from time to time, when I'm feeling edgy or anxiety-ridden," he said. "And my wife and I go to a couples therapist. Our agreement is, if either of us feels like we want to go, the other can't object." [caption id="attachment_3105" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

Credit: PA Images[/caption] That is actually pretty solid advice. Often times, there is a stigma to therapy - particularly couple's therapy - because it's seen as a sign that the relationship is on the rocks. But in reality, it just helps.

[post_page_title]#2 Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson[/post_page_title] This couple first met each other when they were on the set of Bosom Buddies. They then married in 1988, and have been happy ever since.

[caption id="attachment_3107" align="aligncenter" width="760"]
