Ron Howard and Cheryl Alley

In Hollywood, marriage can sometimes seem like a risky business. However, Ron Howard and his wife Cheryl Alley have beat the odds and remained together. Not only that, but they are also high school sweethearts, who began dating while attending John Burroughs High School. Apparently, Howard spent so much time with Alley in high school his parents limited their visits to twice a week!

“I felt really lucky when we met. It’s crazy — we were teenagers, it shouldn’t have worked. We got married young, that shouldn’t have worked either, and yet it really and truly has,” Howard told Huffington Post in 2013. The two have been married for 38 years and are still going strong! Now, their daughter, actress Bryce Dallas Howard, has also become Hollywood royalty.
