Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith – 25 Years Together
The year was 1995. Will Smith was one of the most famous celebs in Hollywood, topping music charts and headlining the hit series Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As the show was an incredible hit, actors and actresses across Tinseltown wanted a role in it. One of them was Jada Pinkett, who auditioned to play Smith’s girlfriend on the show. However, the producers felt like 5-foot-nothing Pinkett wasn’t believable match for Smith’s 6’2”, so she wasn’t cast. But Smith clearly disagreed!
Despite producers not picking Pinkett, she and Smith became friends and then started dating. Not long after, they married on New Year’s Eve in 1997. These days, their children, actor-singer Jaden and model-singer Willow, have become influencers in their own right in recent years.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick – 29 Years Together
While actress Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick frequently portray free spirits, they are actually one of the most stable celebrity couples ever. These two Broadway veterans met, unsurprisingly, on Broadway. In 1995, Broderick had just joined the Naked Angels Theater Company, founded by Parker’s brothers, Pippin and Toby. When the brothers introduced them, the future couple quickly clicked over shared interests.
By 1997, the two had married in a beautiful ceremony in a historic synagogue. Since then, they have welcomed three children: James, Marion, and Tabitha. During an interview, Broderick jokingly said that they keep the spark alive by arguing about baseball! After all, he’s a Mets fan, while Parker is a Yankees fan.
