Matthew Mcconaughey and Camila Alves – 14 years

The True Detective star has been “all right, all right, all right” with the Brazilian model since 2006. After six years together, they married in Austin, Texas, subsequently welcoming children Levi, Vida and Livingston into the world.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé – 12 years

The Carters are so legendary that they might as well be ageless, but that doesn’t change the decade-plus between them. They met at the turn of the century in 2000 and would later pose side-by-side on the cover of the 2001 music issue of Vanity Fair. In the interim years, the world has witnessed everything from duets to tours to three adorable children.

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox – 13 years

Before rocketing to superstardom with the Transformers franchise, Megan Fox enjoyed a brief stint on the show Hope & Faith where she would kindle a romance with former Beverly Hills 90210 heartthrob Brian Austin Green. Despite Fox being only 18 at the time, the pair would waste no time starting a family with a 2010 marriage and three children of their own.

Courteney Cox and Johnny Mcdaid – 13 years

“He’s my guy, he’s the one,” the Friends star would say on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. In 2014, Cox and the Snow Patrol musician became engaged but didn’t get hitched right off the bat. In 2016, McDaid would tell People, “I don’t know if you can put a label on what makes us work, but I know that I’ve never loved like I love this woman, so if that’s enough, then that’s enough.”

Michael Douglas And Catherine Zeta-Jones – 25 years

The actors famously have a quarter-decade between the two of them and coincidentally share a birthday. But surprisingly enough, it was the Entrapment star’s prowess on the links that won Douglas over. The couple married in 2000 and, despite a somewhat turbulent road, are still going as strong as ever.
