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.
Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber – 33 Years Together
After they began dating in late 1987, Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber quickly became one of Hollywood’s hottest “it couples.” In case you don’t remember, Dawber starred in the hit sitcom My Sister Sam while Harmon, fresh off his role on St. Elsewhere, had recently been dubbed in People’s Sexiest Man Alive.
Since Harmon and Dawber constantly walk the red carpet and interview, they try their best to keep their relationship out of the public eye. “We’re not trying to keep something secret,” Dawber said. “But if you don’t want it totally exploited by the press, you have to.” Harmon has let something slip, though: he thinks the fact that they waited to get married worked in their favor. “We were both in our thirties when we got married, so hopefully the stupid stuff we did earlier. That’s probably the closest I have to what the key is,” he said.
