There is something exciting about following celebrity couples. Therapists say that it is natural to look up to celebrity couples because the public feels that these people are part of their lives.
We have to admit that celebrities sometimes set a great example by showing us that it is possible to stay in love for many decades, even if there are difficulties along the way.
We are a huge fan of true love, so we’d love to share some photos of 6 lifelong couples and their love stories with you.

The relationship between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise may still be fresh in fans’ minds, but they have been divorced for over 20 years.
Kidman met her second husband Keith Urban for the first time in 2005, and the couple married shortly thereafter in 2006. They have two daughters together.

A decade might not seem all that impressive, but think about it: the couple had started dating before the hit show Gossip Girl ended, in which Lively played the title character.
To this day, the happy couple shares funny moments from their lives with their followers.
Kurt Russel And Goldie Hawn: 38 Years

The couple met on Valentine’s Day in 1983 and have been inseparable ever since. Interestingly, they were never married. Both Russell and Hawn were already divorced when they began their relationship, so they felt the marriage “cemented the relationship.”
Tom Hanks And Rita Wilson: 33 Years

They went on to co-star twice: in 1981 and in 1984. Tom Hanks was a married man at the time, but he described his marriage as one that was already hopelessly broken. However, she did not want her children to grow up in a broken home, so she continued to retain the marriage.
Things changed when Rita Wilson came on the scene: the couple married in 1988 and they are still together today.
Oprah Winfrey And Stedman Graham: 35 Years

When they met, Oprah Winfrey was in a relationship with another man, but they say she broke up with him as soon as she met Stedman Graham.
The couple got engaged 6 years after starting their relationship in 1986, but never married, saying that getting married only complicates matters.
Michael J. Fox And Tracy Pollan: 33 Years
The couple met on the set of a movie twice before becoming an official couple. They were married in 1988. Just 3 years after getting married, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and began to develop harmful coping mechanisms due to the diagnosis.
However, Pollan helped him come to terms with his condition and not do self-destructive things.
What partner do you consider to be the goal of the relationship?
