David and Victoria Beckham – 22 Years Together
They’re a match made in heaven: he’s one of the most famous athletes in the world, she’s a former Spice Girl and current style icon! This iconic love story started back in 1997. That’s when Victoria Beckham attended a charity soccer match David was in, and he asked to meet her afterward. The rest you probably already know!
However, believe it or not, then they first met, David and Victoria were not exactly familiar with each other’s work. You see, Victoria does not particularly enjoy sports, while David was too buy to “spice up his life” back in the 1990s. Still, their love has endured! The couple has been married since 1998 and has four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas – 22 Years Together
Actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were both hard at work on film promotion tours in 1996. At the time, Douglas was promoting A Perfect Murder, while Zeta-Jones was promoting The Mask of Zorro, the movie that made her a household name. That summer, the two met at the Deauville Film Festival through fellow star and actor Danny DeVito. While young Zeta-Jones was a little star-struck when the couple first met, the spark was undeniable.
Apparently, it’s good luck to have Danny DeVito as your cupid because this power couple has been going strong since the day they’ve met. They married in 2000, and now have two children, Dylan and Carys. Here’s a little fun fact for you: the couple share a birthday, just 25 years apart.
Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy – 38 Years Together
Actors William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman met while working in a theater company together in the early ’80s. While Huffman has confessed she fell in love with Macy at first sight, the couple dated off and on for 15 years before officially becoming husband and wife.
What took so long? Well, in interviews, the Desperate Housewives star explained she’s terrified of commitment, as she grew up in a fractured family. Macy actually proposed several times over the years, but she didn’t seem to take it too seriously. After a lengthy breakup, Huffman finally realized Macy was the right man for her, and the two tied the knot in 1997. Today, the couple share two daughters, Sophia and Georgia.
