When Lisa Kudrow met the French advertising executive Michel Stern, the two hit it off quite instantly. Even so, they took things slow and dated for six years until they finally got married in 1995. This means that Stern has known Kudrow before her “Friends” breakthrough and subsequent fame and all through the craze around the show.
Stern and Phoebe (sorry we had to) have been now for more than 20 years, making them one of the longest Hollywood marriages. They have a son, Julian, who they welcomed into the world in 1998. When he was growing up, Julian was often brought to the set of “Friends” alongside his mother. How sweet!
Tina Turner and Erwin Bach – Together Since 1986
What’s love got to do, got to do with it? Well, a lot if you ask us. Tina Turner had been through a patchy and abusive relationship with her previous husband, Ike Turner. She had pretty much given up on love. That was until she met the German gentleman Erwin Bach. In 1986, he was sent by her European record label to greet Turner at the airport. Bach being over sixteen years her junior, Tina didn't really take his courtship seriously.
Later that year, she was convinced, and they had become inseparable until her last days. Although Bach proposed to her a few times before, they only made it official in the summer of 2013, after a 27-year romantic relationship!
Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld – Together Since 1999
Jerry and Jessica fell in love back in their bagels and lox days; they're much more health-conscious now. Although Jessica is still famous for her Long Island Chicken Parmesan (which she prepared on their first date). While this is Jerry's first marriage (though he's had his fair share of serious relationships in the past), this is Jessica's second, having divorced her first husband in order to start seeing Jerry.
The couple has been married for nearly 20 years now. They have three children — two sons and a daughter. Jerry still refers to her as his 'best friend.' And that, my dears, is the secret to relationship longevity, actually liking your significant other.
Iman and David Bowie – Together Since 1992
Supermodel Iman and rock star David Bowie were people's favorite couple to look at. They always looked so fashionable and svelt together. They dated for three years before they finally made it official. They had one daughter together, in addition to a son and a daughter from previous marriages.
After the death of the rock legend Iman said in an interview that although it’s been three years since her deceased husband's passing, she still mourns and says she will never remarry. She is thankful for the 24 happy years they shared together, and now, she wears a gold pendant with his name on it to keep him with her always and tries her best to keep busy.
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne – Together Sinc 1982
Sharon Osbourne was just 18 years old when she met the Black Sabbath band member Ozzy Osbourne. Little did they both know, she would eventually replace her dad as his manager. The two married in 1982, and needless to say, have been through it all... for better and for worse, in illness and in health.
Between his substance abuse and her battles with colon cancer and a double mastectomy. The world has watched them during break-ups and then get back together a few times, in fact. But we all love how they seem to be in love even after all of these years.
