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.
