Keith Richards and Patti Hansen – 41 Years Together

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and supermodel Patti Hansen met in 1979 when the model was celebrating her 23rd birthday in New York City. According to legend, the model convinced Richards to get her a bottle of champagne, a meeting that Richards said involved him feeling “over the moon and peeing in my pants” with excitement.
However, at first, the couple didn’t connect. Still, nine months later, Richards became smitten when the two met once again. “Incredibly, I’ve found a woman. A miracle,” he wrote in his journal. “She is the most beautiful specimen in the WORLD. …It certainly helps, but it’s her mind, her joy of life, and she thinks this battered junkie is the guy she loves.” Richards and Hansen tied the knot in 1983 and now have two children together.
