Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi – 16 Years Together
This powerful Tinseltown couple has been together since 2004. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi, unsurprisingly, first met each other backstage at an award show. Even though they were both seeing other people at the time, they felt a strong connection and became a couple shortly after.
DeGeneres and De Rossi took their relationship to the next level at their Beverley Hills home, with a small wedding ceremony in 2008. What’s more, the two funny ladies work together on multiple serious causes, including animal welfare, fighting hunger, AIDS in and outside of Africa, and promoting LGBTQ rights. After 16 years together, they are still going strong and very much in love!
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.
