Tom Ford and Richard Buckley – 34 Years Together

Fashion designer Tom Ford and fashion journalist Richard Buckley are arguably one of the chicest couples in the fashion industry and have been since they started dating in 1986. That’s when the two met backstage at a fashion show. At the time, Ford was 25, while Buckley was 38. Immediately, Ford felt won over by Buckley’s worldly confidence and large blue eyes.

In an interview with Out Magazine, Ford said that he knew he was going to marry Buckley on an elevator ride back from his office. Turns out, he was right! Shortly after, they began dating and moved in together within months. What’s more, Buckley helped Ford develop his own brand, while For supported through his battle against cancer. Today, the couple has one son, Alexander John.
