Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas met on the set of Two Much and were married a year later after his divorce was final from his first wife, actress Ana Leza. This notoriously smooth actor and the quirky actress have one daughter and what appears to be a rock solid marriage. Odd rumors abound about the relationship of the actors, among them that Antonio can leave Griffith if she gains too much weight. Judging from the tattoo of the actor’s name on Melanie’s arm, the duo isn’t planning on ending things anytime soon.
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have another long-standing marriage, having married in 1988 after starring in a PBS movie together. This twenty year-long marriage has remained strong, bearing two children and a long history of working together. Not only has the couple worked together on multiple films, but Kevin has directed some of the episodes of Kyra’s hit TV show, The Closer.
Courtney Cox and David Arquette, a couple we’re particularly fond of covering over here, married in 1999 and, as we’ve covered, do not believe in divorce but do believe in couples counseling. The duo who would rather have a referee than an attorney work and play together, sharing a real estate business as well as a production company together. The couple have one child, daughter Coco.
Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne married when Ozzy had moved under her management from her father’s back in 1982 and have had one of the longest, most successful marriages in music history. The couple has survived Ozzy’s rampant drug use, bouts of physical violence, and Sharon’s cancer. The couple, who has three children together, has a marriage that even survived reality television, after the hit reality series The Osbournes made the family household names.
Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward still have to make this list, even though the actor passed away this year from a private battle with cancer. The couple had been married since 1958 and celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary this year before Newman died. One of the most respected marriages and the longest standing in Hollywood history, Newman was notoriously faithful to his beautiful wife, famously stating in an interview, “Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?”
