We all know the feeling we get when one of our favorite celebrity couples bites the dust. When Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins decided to call their 23 year relationship quits – I was crushed. Don’t even get me started on Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito! I am so glad they are back together.
But there are also those couples that make you go, hmmm. Couples that you just can’t believe are still together. Couples you thought would have ended eons ago. Since Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, we are going to celebrate the celebrity couples that we never thought would make it. The couples that faced crazy odds and overcame the challenges to stay strong together. Romantic yes?
5. David and Victoria Beckham
Soccer god and Spice Girl does not a lasting couple make, but their thirteen year marriage is still thriving and they just added a daughter last year to their crew of three boys.
4. Will and Jada Smith
Bubble gum rapper plus a drop dead gorgeous actress is not the equation for longevity. Rumors that they might split have been rampant but this couple is still vibrant.
3. Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith
With Antonio’s good looks and Melanie’s continual drug and alcohol problems, this couple has seen a lot of rocky times. But after 15 years of marriage they have proven they can tackle anything.
2. Jay Z and Beyonce
This musical duo rocks both at home and in the celebrity spotlight. Their secret to success – keeping their private life private!
1. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
From their torrid pasts we all assumed this celebrity power couple would never make it. But now, with six children and another on the way, Brad and Angelina are going strong and proving us wrong.
Deep down we truly wish these couples the best and hope that we are still writing about them in the years to come.
What couple has you shocked by overcoming your expectations and staying together?
