From the Beckhams to Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Here Are the Longest Celebrity Marriages in Hollywood

It’s a common belief that Hollywood couples don’t stay together for so long because several marriages crash before the one-year mark. However, some couples have shown us that being under public scrutiny has nothing on their marriages. This article is dedicated to those long celebrity marriages that are true goals and Hollywood fairytales. 

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. 

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. first met while acting in “I Know What You Did Last Summer” in 1997. Three years later, Sarah and Freddie made their relationship official.

In 2001, Prinze Jr. popped the question, and the two tied the knot in Mexico one year later. The couple have been married for 22 years and have two kids. Sarah and Freddie are one of the most loved 90s couples.

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham met at a soccer game in 1997, and, as they say, the rest is history. They were so in love that they married just two years after crossing paths.

The union of the former soccer player and former Spice Girl remains one of the strongest celeb pairs. They renewed their vows in 2017. The Beckhams have been married for 24 years and have four kids.

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker

The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” actor and the “Sex and the City” star met while starring on Broadway in the 1990s. Sarah Jessica Parker made her relationship with Matthew Broderick official after she ended things with Robert Downey Jr.

They had a surprise marriage ceremony in 1997, and their relationship has been quite private since then. The couple have been married for 27 years and share three children.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson met on the set of the ABC sitcom “Bosom Buddies.” Although he was still married then, he couldn’t help but be attracted to Wilson. Eventually, he and his former wife separated in 1987.

Following his divorce, the “Sleepless in Seattle” star and the “Runaway Bride” actress made their relationship public. A year later, they got married. They’ve been together for 36 years and are parents of two children. 

Denzel Washington and Pauletta Pearson

Denzel Washington and Pauletta Pearson met while shooting “Wilma” together in 1977, and they started seeing each other romantically a year later. Interestingly, Pauletta didn’t initially accept the “Malcolm X” actor’s marriage proposal.
