13 Celebrity Women Whose Only Marriage Seems Like It Will Actually Last 'Til Death
They've been with their spouses for so long that it's hard to imagine them with anyone else.
Building a strong relationship that will last for ages is not an easy task. More than just love or sparks, both partners must put in significant effort and work to make the relationship endure and grow together.
That's why many people admire those happy old couples we see. A lot of us think, "That's the kind of relationship or love we want, one that lasts until we're old and gray."
We must admit that long-lasting marriages are not so common nowadays, especially in the celebrity world. One day, the couple you've been rooting for might get married and appear so happy in love, only for them to divorce or become embroiled in a huge scandal a few months later.
Sometimes, we hesitate to root for relationships in Hollywood because they seem so fragile. Our hearts break a little when they break up.
Thankfully, there are exceptions. Some celebrity women have managed to keep their love for their partners strong throughout the years.
They keep the hope for love and long-lasting relationships alive for us. Here are these amazing women.
