In 1997 when the football legend and Spice Girl met, Victoria had no idea who he was. David knew who Posh was, pointing her out to a friend once indicating which Spice girl he’d marry. Still, their romance commenced and they were married by the summer of 1999.
The British press went berserk and even started rumors about the two splitting up on some occasions. Beckham laid it out, “The simple truth is that I am very happily married.” Beckham sums up their marriage success this way; they stay together because they love each other and because they have amazing children who need them.
Candace Cameron and Valeri Bure
Candace was just 19 when she met 21-year-old Russian NHL player Valeri Bure. "Full House" star, a.k.a. D.J. Tanner, was impressed to know he loved the show and watched it to improve his English. They married in 1996.
Many years later, Candace and Valeri are still wildly in love. They attribute their marital harmony, tightly knit family, and bright kids to Christian faith and biblical belief. “The reality is, the glue for us is Jesus.” Their faith has formed the basis of their trust and devotion to one another - so it's no surprise that these two have gone the distance.
Lisa Kudrow and Michael Stern
After six years of dating French advertising executive Michel Stern, Lisa Kudrow married him in 1995. Many years later, they have one of the most respected and loving Hollywood marriages, plus a son, Julian, who was born in 1998.
In fact, Kurdow got pregnant while still starring as Phoebe Buffay on "Friends". The pregnancy had to be written into the show, and so her character became the surrogate of her brother's triplets! We love learning how shows get creative when their stars get pregnant - and a character as special as Pheobe Buffay can't very well be written out so easily.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson
Tom and Rita’s love affair began on the set of "Bosom Buddies," and it never ended. Hanks credits his wife for providing him with an indescribable bond that goes beyond “wife,” “mother,” or “lover.” He mentions her as the inspiration to play some of his greatest roles. Making it snappy, he quips that he is a lucky man, and that Rita could’ve done better.
They’re probably the only Hollywood couple who has managed to get a public apology out of The National Enquirer for falsely publishing a story about an imminent divorce. The fact is, they’ve been married for three happy decades, and their love has only grown stronger.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
Their stupendous Hollywood careers collided on several film sets at young ages. Young love ensued. But she was just 21, and Russell was barely 16! The lovebirds partnered up permanently in 1983 after meeting up again on the set of "Swing Shift." Kurt had a son from his previous marriage, and Goldie had two children from hers - celebs Kate and Oliver Hudson. They went on to have a son, Wyatt.
As genuine life partners, the two have never married yet have remained together for over 35 years. Goldie has explained that the ticket to making things work for so long is that every day, she chooses to stay, Kurt chooses to stay, and they are both very happy with their choices.
