My Top 6 Long Standing Celebrity Couples

Celebrities are often not the best role models when it comes to marriage. We often hear more of break-ups than happily ever after. However Hollywood would not be Hollywood without the juicy stories of infidelities, break-ups, divorces.


However, there are also many couples that have lasted the test of time. These are some couples that I think are best roles models on marriages. I do hope that they will be happily ever after stories. Give us some hope that happily ever after do exists....
