The human love of love is probably what brought you to this article after reading our previous two about gushing Hollywood husbands. For another dose of husbands showing appreciation to their wonderful wives, start reading.
Mark Ruffalo
Aside from being incredibly handsome and talented, he also adores his wife. "The Hulk" star got married in 2000 to actress Sunrise Coigney.
The couple has been happily married for 22 years and has three children. Mark is like a lovesick puppy, posting adorable photos of him and his wife at every red carpet event . Ruffalo says, “I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it." Well, his is clearly growing wonderfully.
Pierce Brosnan
Who would’ve thought that dashing James Bond would be a softy when it comes to his wife? The famous actor from Ireland has been married to Keely Shaye Smith for over two decades. He met Keely, an American journalist in 1994 while traveling through Mexico, and they got married 7 years later.
Brosnan calls Keely his “north star”, and says "I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn't be able to live without. When Keely looks at me, I go weak." How’s that for romance?
Aaron Paul
The "Breaking Bad" star met Lauren Parsekian, the love of his life at a music festival in 2010. Two years later, they got engaged in Paris, and in 2013, they had a huge wedding party in Malibu, complete with a tear-jerking speech and Parsekian’s famous band coming to perform.
Aaron has been gushing about her ever since, once saying in an interview, "Let me tell you, my friend, I will be in the honeymoon phase until I leave this planet. Getting married to Lauren was the greatest accomplishment of my life."
Jamie Dornan
Dornan married Amelia Warner in 2014, and they had a daughter soon after, who was born in Canada during the filming of "50 Shades of Grey."
Not only was Amelia super understanding about this, but she also seemed to have a very lax attitude about her husband filming dozens of nude scenes with another woman while she was 30 weeks pregnant. Once, Jamie was asked about the one thing he couldn’t live without, and he immediately replied, “My wife”, continuing to say, “My wife is a brilliant, hugely understanding person.”
Joel Madden
The lead singer of the famous pop punk band "Good Charlotte" may appear as a hardcore musician in public, but he’s a loving sweetheart when he’s alone with his wife, Nicole Richie. The punk singer married the TV actress and socialite in 2010, but they’d been together for four years before that.
In fact, as the story goes, Madden proposed to Richie ten times before she agreed – “People don’t know this, but I asked her to marry me 10 times before she actually said yes. I was asking every other Tuesday.” Nowadays, they’re madly in love with two children.
Tim McGraw
These two country lovebirds met at a show in Nashville back in 1994, and they were so goo-goo-eyed for each other that they got married two years later. They now have three beautiful daughters, Grace, Maggie, and Audrey.
Through all the ups and downs, Tim McGraw said on TV, “my wedding was the best day of my life… 25 years later and it's still the best day of my life. Thanks for going on this journey with me. I love you, Faith”. Now that’s a true declaration of love if we ever heard one.
Chris O’Donnell
It isn’t too hard to imagine the doe-eyed boy from "Scent of a Woman" as being a real-life romantic, but it seems O’Donnell goes beyond that when it comes to his wife Caroline Fentress. The couple got married in 1997 and have stayed strong and very much in love. As a dad of 4 children, O’Donnell often says he couldn’t do it without “his Caroline.”
We’re sure the fact that she’s an elementary school teacher helps a lot! When asked about their marriage, O’Donnell says, "The first time I kissed her, I was like, Wow. And I still feel that way.”
Bart Freundlich
The gorgeous and talented redhead Juliane Moore met her beau back in 1997, on the set of The Myth of Fingerprints. Bart Freundlich was the director of this 90s drama, and Julianne was the star, and apparently, by the time the movie was in post-production, these two couldn’t be apart. Fast forward over two decades later, and they’re happily married with two beautiful children – Caleb and Liv.
Bart said that sometimes he can’t believe they met over two decades ago, because to him, it feels like yesterday. Julianne has said in interviews that even after all these years, they still manage to prioritize keeping the romance alive.
Steve Carell
Comedy legend Steve Carell has married Nancy in 1995, and they're as strong as ever. The pair met when Carell was teaching an improv class in Chicago, and Nancy was one of his students. Carell has said that it took him some time to build up the courage to ask Nancy out, and good thing he finally did!
Carell said of his wife, "She's beautiful, intelligent and really funny." So what's their secret? You guessed it - laughter. The two share a passion for comedy, and they've been laughing their way through life together since '95.
Ed Burns
The New York-born director, actor, producer, and writer Ed Burns may be known for his serious expressions in press photos, but behind closed doors, he’s anything but. Apparently, Ed is a hopeless romantic with his wife, supermodel Christy Turlington. When they met, Turlington was already a world-famous fashion model, and Burns was a measly production assistant.
When asked how they manage such a romantic marriage and two kids, Burns says they steer clear of Hollywood drama – “We don’t live in Hollywood, and we never go there.”
Jimmy Fallon
King of comedy Jimmy Fallon has had a stellar career, and it seems an even more stellar marriage. The late-night talk show host and former SNL cast member married American film producer Nancy Juvonen in 2007, and they’re just as in love as they were when they met.
The comedians first met on "Saturday Night Live" and then worked together on "Fever Pitch". Fallon has said of his wife, “We really respect each other, and it’s fun all the time! We’re just happy all the time…She’s the love of my life”. Aw, Jimmy!
Mauricio Umansky
High-profile real estate broker, Mauricio Umansky has one of the feistiest wives in showbiz. Mauricio and notorious Beverly Hills Housewife, Kyle Richards, got married back in 1996, and their marriage seems to be stronger than ever.
Even though they’re surrounded by drama and bad relationships (both on the show and in real life), they’ve managed to stay sweet on each other, have three kids, and still be in what appears to be a honeymoon phase. “Twenty-six years in, I couldn’t be more in love with Kyle and our kids,” says Umansky.
Paul Bettany
Paul Bettany could certainly consider himself one of the luckiest men on earth, seeing as he’s married to the stunning Jennifer Connelly. The English actor has been on the silver screen for decades, but one particular film changed the course of his life. In 2001, while playing in "A Beautiful Mind", he met Jennifer.
Two years later, they were married, and things have been amazing ever since. Paul immediately got along with Jennifer’s son Kai, becoming a role model stepfather, and nowadays, the couple has two more children. “I’d never been so close to someone that beautiful before”, Paul recalls thinking when he first met Jennifer.
Peter Sarsgaard
Peter Sarsgaard met Maggie Gyllenhaal at a dinner party in 2001, and as he remembers, “We just immediately hit it off, not just artistically, but in terms of our minds.” That seems to be the case, since the couple wed in 2009 and now have two beautiful daughters, Ramona and Gloria.
Maggie has become an artistic powerhouse in the last few years, and Peter has been right there by her side at every turn. “We’re just made for each other, in every sense of the word,” Peter says of their marriage.
Erwin Bach
The American-Swiss “Queen of Rock & Roll,” Tina Turner, had a stellar career from the 1960s until her last days in 2023. However, throughout her life, she wasn't so lucky in terms of relationships until she met music producer Erwin Bach, that is. After a very tumultuous marriage with Ike Turner, Tina met Erwin in 1985, and they finally married in 2013.
Erwin was crazy about his wife until her last days, saying, “I’ve always been so proud of who Tina is, what she’s accomplished. She was truly one of a kind”. He even donated a kidney to Tina when she started having serious health issues back in 2016. If that’s not true love, we don’t know what is.
Michael Douglas
Apart from a brief separation in 2013, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been one of the most solid and long-lasting marriages in Hollywood. The couple met back in 1998, at a film festival, when their then-couple friends Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith introduced them. Douglas proposed to Zeta-Jones two years after they met, and although they’ve had quite a journey, with Catherine supporting him through cancer, the couple seems stronger than ever.
Recently, Michael posted a very cute picture of him and his wife, captioned, “Catherine, my beautiful wife, I love you now and forever.”
Michael Stern
Michael Stern is the lucky guy who married Lisa Kudrow, and he couldn’t be happier about it. Stern met Lisa in 1987 when he was dating her roommate. Clearly, that didn’t work out, and the couple started going out soon after. In 1995, they got married, and some years later, the French ad executive and the sitcom actress welcomed a son.
Michael has said in interviews that he “loves watching Lisa on re-run episodes of Friends, especially on the most recent reunion episodes…”. Now that sounds like a very fun marriage to us!
Harrison Ford
When Harrison Ford met actress Calista Flockhart back in 2002 at a Golden Globes awards ceremony, he approached her with the same quiet and confident demeanor you would expect his movie characters to. However, it wasn’t so easy for the Hollywood gentleman; as the story goes, he needed help from their friend in common, James Marsden.
Harison said about his wide “I’m in love. Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life."
Kurt Russell
Even though they’re not technically married, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have one of the most romantic love stories in Hollywood history. They first met back in 1968 . At the time, Hawn was 21, and Russell was 16, so nothing could happen. However, they reconnected 15 years later when they worked on set for "Swing Shift."
They started dating on Valentine’s Day of 1983. “I like a million things about Goldie. Always have, always will. She’s irresistible”, says Russell.
Ted Danson
After decades of marriage, A-list celebrities Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen are still madly in love. The couple met back in 1994, while filming "Pontiac Moon", and it took Ted a little over a year to propose to Mary.
In a 2017 interview, Danson said, “I’m madly in love with Mary. She’s a remarkable human being, so I’m just incredibly blessed.” Apparently, Mary feels the same way, and even though they have pretty busy schedules, they manage to make it work.
Matt Damon
Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, share a relatively private but very close relationship. They have three daughters, their names tattooed at the top of Damon’s arm. The A-lister did not marry someone in showbiz, and he thinks this is part of their longevity.
It was love at first sight when they met, according to him. The then-single-mom was bartending at the nightclub when they met. He still dotes on her. Discussing why he thinks couples need to be together as much as possible, he said, “My wife is my soulmate. I don’t like being apart from her.”
Gucci Mane
Keyshia Ka’oir and Gucci Mane are happily married. In a Rickey Smiley interview, the rapper said that he and his wife never fight. “We don’t argue. People think I am lying like everything goes smooth.” He said they have such an “adult, responsible, mature relationship,” that people can’t believe it. Mane was blasted on Instagram for praising his wife because she stayed with him through the ups and downs (especially downs) of life.
In his memoir, he gushed, “I had Keyshia, my first real love. The first woman I ever wanted to bring to a red carpet and let the world know this was my lady.”
Sebastián Rulli
For French-Mexican actress Angelique Boyer’s 33rd birthday, Sebastián Rulli shared on social media, “You deserve all the best and more! I love you!” Boyer and Rulli are famous Latino soap opera stars whose love affair is closely watched. They adore doting on each other on social media. In another birthday note, Rulli gushed, “You are what I adore in my life, every minute.”
He also called her “My winged angel, my sky, my love.” He closed the birthday note out with, “I wish with all my heart, that all your dreams come true, today and always, I love you!”
John Krasinski
If you hope John Krasinski is as much of a doting husband in real life as he is on “The Office,” you will be very happy to learn that his marriage to Emily Blunt is basically a never-ending fairy tale. He loves everything about her. “My wife is my hero in every single way.”
He calls his Golden Globe and SAG-winning wife, “The best mom in the world.” And if that isn’t Jim at “The Office” enough for you, there’s this: “I wake up every morning with a smile on my face. … I’m living a lottery ticket life.”
Swizz Beats
Alicia Keys describes her love with Swizz Beats as genuine and honest. She says the music industry titans are more than soul mates. Swizz Beatz knows what he’s got. He celebrated her on Instagram for becoming the highest-selling female R&B artist of the millennium. He closes a short video with, “That’s big. Congrats baby.”
He’s talked about being married to someone so massively successful. He wrote, “You shouldn’t be jealous or upset if you have a Queen that’s successful, Smarter, or better than you! What you should do is thank the most high or step your game up!”
Joe Manganiello
When they were still an item, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s marriage seemed beautiful and perfect. Especially when you read Joe's words about his now-ex wife: “My life is great because I really like my wife. I like talking to her. I like goofing around with her.
We f****g laugh all day long every day,” Manganiello gushed. Whether they were on the red carpet or walking down the sidewalk, this couple was always showing affection. Unfortunately, though, just like many other good things, their relationship came to an end in 2023.
Robert Downey Jr.
I’m sure plenty of women have wondered what it would be like to marry Robert Downey, Jr., and, let me tell you, it sounds like a lot of fun. For their 10-year he wrote, “A perfect 10. Happy Anniversary, Mrs. Downey.”
For her birthday, his trademark playfulness appeared in a tweet to his “heaven-sent partner. Mrs. D,” he wrote, “You are my everything, and November 6th, always a day of gratitude, for your blessed birth.” He crowned it with a solemn promise, “I will never watch ahead on a co-viewed streaming show … That is my eternal vow.”
Jeff Bridges
Susan and Jeff Bridges tied the knot in 1977 and have three daughters. They’ve been married a long time! But he still remembers it was “love at first sight.” He met her when she was a waitress in 1975.
He told “People” magazine, “I respect her wisdom, and I’m sure the girls do too. I’ve been really blessed.” He also shared a secret to their long marriage. He credits, “mutual respect.” Ready to be awed? He carries a photo from the very moment they met on the set of “Rancho Deluxe” in his wallet.
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. became friends on “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” The actors’ romance took off eventually and now they are one of Hollywood’s most stable marriages, with several decades together.
“We’re together because we like each other, we make each other laugh,” Prinze said. When he gets old, he wants to move to a deserted island with her to live out their days. So romantic, right?
Blake Shelton
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are true love birds with the marriage thing and are all aces on the love and affection thing. They’ve had a fun pairing together and we saw their closeness and joy as coaches on “The Voice.”
Shelton showed how romantic he is at their wedding. “Gwen and I decided we were going to write our own vows for the wedding, but I decided to surprise her by writing a song instead.” It’s called, “We Can Reach the Stars.”
Ryan Gosling
This happy couple met filming “Place Beyond the Pines.” That was in 2011. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are not the types to share their private lives with everyone. They have daughters, but we’ve seen no pictures of them. Gosling doesn’t even use Instagram or any social media account.
When he does give an interview, though, he gushes over Eva. I know that I’m with the person I’m supposed to be with.” The only criteria he is searching for is that “she’s Eva Mendes. There’s nothing else I’m looking for.”
Tom Waits
Kathleen Brennan is the muse behind Tom Waits’ music. She’s his songwriter, pianist, collaborator, and wife. He sheds light on how important she is in his music and life at the drop of a hat. He has said, “She’s an incandescent presence on all songs we work on together.” Even more, she is home for him.
“She has a remarkable imagination. And that’s the nation where I live,” he said. He fawns over her talents and describes her as a “shiksa goddess,” “a trapeze artist,” “she can fix the truck.” He says he is a lucky man.
Chris Hemsworth
Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth have been married since 2010. The Thor star said his wife “knows I only have eyes for her.” Heading to the Golden Globe Awards in 2017, the beautiful couple was decked out and dapper.
Hemsworth posted a photo on Instagram glowing over Pataky, “Look at my hot date!” he wrote to his millions of followers over the Spanish actress and model.
Ashton Kutcher
This A-lister couple is known for smooching in public and doting over each other. Ashton Kutcher met Mila Kunis on “That ‘70s Show” in 1998, but their affair didn’t take off until 2012. Sparks flew and the two rocketed into a passionate relationship.
Kutcher was super excited about Mila. Once he boasted about being with her saying, “Kunis, my fiancée. It’s amazing.” Now they've expanded their family and have children, and Kutcher brags about what a great mom Mila is.
Emilio Estefan
The man behind Gloria Estefan is husband and music producer Emilio Estefan. With 100 million albums sold and more than 30 No. 1 singles, they’re a legendary team. The Estefans married eons ago in 1978. Yet, their marriage is more robust than most at half their age.
Gloria revealed on ”Red Table Talk” that they’ve always been very connected and that their fun times in the bedroom are keeping them happy. In fact, she says that for over 30 years, they have been having bedroom activities more than three times a week. When she says this is a secret to a good marriage, it simultaneously sounds like a no-brainer and an epiphany. Emilio describes it as creative and “organic.”
Adam Levine
Marron 5’s Adam Levine is a heartthrob to all but a man to one. Behati Prinsloo is the one. The Victoria Secret supermodel is. . . well, let’s let him say it. “She’s a legend. She’s THE baddest,” he exclaimed on Instagram for her birthday.
As she turned 30, Levine gushed, “I wake up every morning thankful that it wasn’t all a dream.” Aww! And then for the kill, he adds, “Here’s to a thousand more years.” They married in 2014.

He wrote, “And of the 3.96 billion women on the planet – there is only that 1 that I want to spend the rest of my life with. Happy Birthday, my Love!”
Sterling K. Brown
Sterling Brown won a Primetime Emmy for his role in “This Is Us,” and he gushed over his wife Ryan Michelle Bathé in his 2017 acceptance speech. He praised her so long, the familiar musical interlude finally drowned him out! The pair met in college and, if soul mates exist, they share that bond.
The Hollywood couple always unveils love and eloquence walking down the red carpet, plus a lot of affection. Sweet love.
Stedman Graham
Oprah Winfrey started dating Stedman Graham in 1986, the year “The Oprah Winfrey Show” first aired. He asked her to marry him in the ‘90s and she was thrilled, but ultimately did not want to be in a marriage. She didn’t want the “day-in-day-out commitment required to make a marriage work.”
So, they’ve stayed together for many many many years, and he adores her as much today. Talking to her friend Ellen DeGeneres, he said, “Well, the thing about our relationship is, so I’m dedicated to her happiness.” Stedman added, “I want her to be the best she can possibly be, and she’s done a pretty good job of doing that.”
Barack Obama
No one is surprised to hear Barack Obama gushing over Michelle. It’s expected! She’s his best friend, we know. On their 29th wedding anniversary, the former president doted on Twitter, “Over the past 29 years, I’ve loved watching the world get to know you not just as a daughter of the South Side, but as a mother, lawyer, executive, author, First Lady, and my best friend.” Just when it seems like too much love, he adds, “I can’t imagine life without you.”
So it seems that big names have big loves and it all goes down to the big women who stand beside, behind, and in front of them.
Steph Curry
Ayesha Curry keeps up a gorgeous Instagram page featuring her cute kids and snuggly moments with her husband Steph Curry. If things ever go sideways on her page, the NBA star is there to defend her, even when the internet freaked over an exposed picture of herself.
The cookbook author’s page featuring the adorable family revealed a romantic surprise orchestrated by her husband on Sept. 21, 2021. Steph surprised her with a vow renewal ceremony for their 10-year anniversary. He had the children officiate at the backyard ceremony and even pre-ordered a Valentino bridal gown for her.
Peter Hermann
This actor couple met on the set of “Law & Order: SVU” where Mariska Hargitay still portrays Detective Benson. They married in 2004, which gave Peter Hermann the answer to life. The secret to a long marriage is not that complicated, he said in an “ET” interview, it’s about the fundamentals.
Clarifying, he added, “That doesn’t mean they’re easy.” And what are those fundamentals? “Kindness, listen well, and fight fair.” On Twitter, he was spotted gushing over his wife, “You’re the enduring backbone, determined heart and bright, shining spirit who makes it all possible. I love you, I’m so proud of you.”

The television stars married in 2003 and have enjoyed a fairy-tale marriage. They renewed the vows on their 12th-year wedding anniversary.
Tennon celebrated Viola saying, “She teaches me every day how to man up, how to agree to disagree but let’s get it done, don’t let the sun go down on your anger.”
Aníbal Marrero
Aníbal Marrero was entranced the moment he set eyes on Alejandra Espinoza. Meeting her for the first time felt like magic. Since she was 10 years his junior, however, he was full of doubt. But after a year of friendship, he asked her to be his girlfriend.
The lovebirds walked down the aisle in 2011 at a beautiful Puerto Rico wedding. Alejandra is a famous Latino TV show host who was born in Mexico and Aníbal, a choreographer and artistic director, was born in Puerto Rico.
Nathan Massey
Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey met on “Love Island,” so you know there’s been plenty of PDAs in skimpy beach attire. These two share a real bond. They are the sole winners of “Love Island” to stay together.
That doesn’t mean they didn’t split for a bit, but Nathan made it sweet again when he proposed to her for a second time at the exact villa where they met.
Dwayne Johnson
Lauren Hashian was not his first wife, but The Rock told “WSJ,” “within 30 seconds” he was smitten with her. After his first divorce, he started dating the singer. They married in Hawaii in 2019. Dwayne Johnson posted his matrimonial kissing-the-bride photo on his Instagram account. He captioned it, “We do” with the date.
He is also smitten with his family and has praised his wife profusely for being a mom. When Lauren became a mother, he called it one of the most “enlightening things I’ve ever seen.” He said it changed the way he sees her, “It’s like a kaleidoscope.”
Offset
When Offset shocked Cardi with a 100-carat heart-shaped diamond rock, he shocked us all by posting an image of it adorning Cardi’s hand. He told his 19.6 million followers, “KIDS WE DIDN’T COME TO PLAY,” referring to it as the “Titanic Diamond.” Hip-hop artists are known to show PDAs everywhere, whether it is on Instagram, the awards circuit, or the red carpet.
There’s also a video of Cardi and Offset snuggling to sweet nothings in bed together. Offset dotes on Cardi with Instagram captions too. For the pair’s second anniversary, Offset wrote, “I love you 4ever and afterlife.” It appears, however, that the sentiment didn't last, as the two broke up in 2023, and it was notoriously and publically unpleasant.
Guy Ritchie
Guy Ritchie has no regrets about leaving Madonna behind. He told “Entertainment Tonight” that he is very happy being married to Jacqui Ainsley. “I spend a lot of time thinking about my wife. It’s a hand in a glove. We just don’t argue, you know?” He said he feels very lucky to have that sort of relationship.
The British filmmaker who also directed “Sherlock Holmes” doted on Jacqui, “She finishes my sentences and understands what I’m thinking way before I’m thinking it.”
David Beckham
After several decades of marriage, David and Victoria Beckham are still romantic. In an interview with “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Beckham relayed their meetup story.

Ben Domenech
When “The View” co-host Meghan McCain learned of her father’s incurable medical condition, she cried out mournfully that he was never going to see her married. Ben Domenech, who she was dating at the time, stopped her and said, “Yes, he will.” The unconventional proposal surprised the soon-to-be doting wife.
Domenech is a loyal husband who has her back on Twitter and gives her a kiss on Instagram. Meghan says she is happy to have a conservative man. As founder of “The Federalist,” he’s as loyal to his party as he is to his wife.
Russell Westbrook
In 2017, when Russell Westbrook nabbed the NBA MVP prize, he took to the mic to appreciate his wife, Nina Earl. In his acceptance speech, he gushed, “I love you and I thank you for everything you’ve done for me thus far. You’re the best wife a husband like me could ask for.”
On Twitter, he showered admiration for Nina for working on her master’s degree in psychology. He said, “She’s a smart girl.” In another tweet, he nuzzles her adoringly and tags her, “My Mrs.”

One of the NBA’s greatest is also great at being married. LeBron James goes to Instagram to praise his wife, Savanah Brinson. In a supportive post, he said she looks “damn good” at any size when she was talking about a diet. On their third wedding anniversary, he posted, “Could not have picked a better sidekick to fight crime with. You’re my everything and above!”
Their love story is amazing. They were high school sweethearts with two young children when LeBron proposed to Savanah on one knee. He said he was so nervous it “felt like before a finals game.”
Daryl Sabara
It was definitely love at first sight for Daryl Sabara when he first laid eyes on singer/songwriter Meghan Trainor. In a conversation between the two on Trainor’s Apple Music Hits channel said to her, “I never knew that I would get married, and then when I saw you, it just flashed before my eyes.”
Trainor was immediately dazzled by Sabara who she recognized from “Spy Kids.” They married in 2018.

Wells Adams
“Bachelor in Paradise” bartender Wells Adams says that Sarah Hyland is there for him, and he’s totally there for her, from day one. The “Modern Family” actress had eyes for Wells Adams the time she ever saw him, on “Bachelor Nation.” He was on TV, but it was still, love at first sight. It was mutual, Adams said, “I knew I was gonna marry her the first night I met her.”
The lovebirds share affections everywhere they go and on Instagram and Twitter too. Adams doted to his Instagram followers on their anniversary. It was a snuggly snap with Sarah taken right before he asked her to be his girlfriend.
Jason Tartick
Things are good, according to Jason Tartick. He said he and Kaitlyn Bristowe are doing all the things they dreamed of. “Kaitlyn has a ton of work going on and absolutely killing it,” he gushed. The “Bachelor Nation” lovers have documented their steamy love stories on Instagram.
On May 10, 2021, Jason proposed to the “Dancing with the Stars” contestant with a five-carat oval-shaped diamond and she said it was “everything I could have asked for.” The engagement, however, didn't last, as the two announced a separation two years later.
Sacha Baron Cohen
Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen share a wonderful marriage with several decades of marital bliss. Cohen is not one to PDA like others, but he is known to lampoon the wife guy who overtly fawns over his wife in public. The British satirist lampoons the wife guy character in “Borat” (2006).
He’s a very handsy journalist from Kazakhstan who develops the refrain, “this is my wife” to absurdity. Now everyone says, “my wife” in his accent.
Robbie Tripp
Robbie Tripp became an internet celebrity and a meme by doting on his wife. This guy’s Instagram bio says, “Hubby to a curvy goddess.” His wife-guy reputation took shape after posting a beach photo of his wife, Sarah Tripp, in his arms. A trailing caption pours adoration over his wife’s plump body.
He gushes, “There’s nothing sexier to me than a woman who is both curvy and confident.” He also gets into how he was teased in school for his attraction to curvy girls. This guy from Florida has thousands of followers and posts photos of his curvy wife all day long.
Shaun “Shonduras” McBride
Shonduras became a meme called Cliff Guy after documenting his wife falling off a cliff, or at least tumbling several feet down off the side of a trail. The two were on a hike in Hawaii when his wife fell. He Tweeted, “I watched my wife fall off a cliff. . . your whole world can change in a matter of seconds.”
He went on to say it made him grateful for every moment with her, and he posted a video of the 20-minute ordeal on his YouTube channel. His wife sustained some scratches and bruises, but still, this wife guy’s story went wild on social media.
George Clooney
George Clooney is a known wife guy. He dotes on Amal all the time. When he did an interview with “GQ,” Clooney talked about how much he admires his wife. That day, as he was sitting down for the Q&A, Amal Clooney was taking a stand against the Brexit deal.
He said, “Like, today she’s in the middle of a sort of standing up against the British government, [submitting a letter of resignation as U.K.’s special envoy] you know, deciding that they’re gonna break international law. So she had to retire as the envoy.”
Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have been married since the ‘80s, so long ago most just think of it as a decade from ancient times. They met on the sitcom that launched the budding actor’s career, “Bosom Buddies.” The two hitched for real in 1988 which means they have been married for over three decades.
People ask him how they did it. According to the Gump master, “We learned the secret of happiness with each other a long time ago and that’s always telling the truth.” Adding, “And she makes me laugh harder now than she did in 1986.” Amazing.
Prince Harry
It’s not what Prince Harry says as much as what he does. He divulged his adoration of Meghan at their wedding when he delicately arranged the Duchess’ hair, brushing it from her face. Everyone noticed and the gesture went viral. At an annual charity awards ceremony, Prince Harry broke down in tears talking about Meghan’s pregnancy with Archie.
He said, speaking to the U.K. awards ceremony, “Last year, when my wife and I attended, we knew we were expecting our first child—no one else did at the time, but we did,” and then he teared up, it was an emotional moment.
Justin Bieber
More than your average celebrity wife guy, Justin Bieber gushes over his beautiful wife Hailey. “Life has never made more sense until you became my wife,” is one of his Instagram dotes on her.

Days after her birthday, the pop music phenom wrote, next to a photoshoot of images of his supermodel wife, “How r u real and why did you decide I was worthy to be your husband I’m shook everyday love u baby.”

I’m forever grateful to share our love, our life—and, our family together. We’ve only just begun. Deb, I love you with all my heart.” He doesn’t shy away from PDAs either.

“Even though there is drudgery and pain and horror in our marriage—we’ve been together for 11 years—no one else before or since ever violently kidnapped my heart, put it in a dirty bag, and brought it to their lair to own forever.” This kind of dark humor is exactly what landed the “Catastrophe” in “Deadpool 2”.

His wife, Tina Kunakey, is a gorgeous French model. They married in a coastal village in the south of France at the city hall in Bidart, France.
Announcing the wedding plans, Cassel told “The New York Times", that he was a 52 man, marrying a 21-year-old woman and that they were very much in love. Sadly, though, it seems that their love had an expiration date as they called it quits after five years of marriage.

Ryan Reynolds used to be married to Scarlett Johansson but we are here to talk about him gushing over his current wife, Blake Lively. At the Met Gala in 2014, his PDA on the red carpet could not be missed with his hand very intentionally placed on her derriere. In an Instagram post, it was placed somewhere else. But it goes deeper.

This pair was not always thrilled about their PDA moments getting media time. They met on the set of a made-for-television romcom and tumbled into love. Both were married at the time. That all ended in brisk fashion with Eddie and Leann Rimes heading off to Mexico and dishing large servings of affection during their beach vacay.
The fallout from the divorces has made the pair retreat from the press. But they’ve been caught showing affection as late as 2018 at a picnic in the park. The couple married in 2011.
