Frederick Douglass and Helen Pitts’ love story takes us way back to the 1800s. The two were an unlikely pair back in the day since they both came from different backgrounds and looked very different from each other. Helen was a suffragist writer who worked in Douglass’ office and that’s how they met. It’s hard to imagine just how difficult it must have been to stick it out in a mixed relationship back in those days.
She even helped him publish his own autobiography – talk about true love! Douglass’ family couldn’t accept their love, but at least they found solace with their closest friends. They stuck together for at least 11 years until Douglass passed away.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
When Kim K and Kanye got together, the world thought the pair wasn't actually a thing, and that it was just for publicity's sake. Kim is mixed and is part Armenian, but she grew up in the United States.
They've proved people wrong and showed the world that they truly loved each other from the early 2000s until 2021. The two have constantly been around the entertainment industry being two hard-working celebrities, and they've both managed to maintain their careers while raising their family. Unfortunately, the relationship was not meant to last, and the two finalized their divorce in 2022.
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan locked eyes in one of the most random places you could ever imagine. They met in a college bathroom when they were both waiting in line for their turn. Priscilla was also studying at the Ivy League school, and the two brilliantly intelligent people stuck to each other from there on out.
It's no surprise that he would be attracted to Priscilla since she's not just beautiful but also insanely intelligent - she is also fluent in three languages! The two have gone on working together in a joint foundation, and so far, they're doing great.
Tyra Banks and Erik Asla
You go, Tyra! The stunning supermodel has been dating Norwegian hunk Erik Asla since 2012, but they have been so impressively secret about their relationship you probably don’t even recognize his name! Every couple should follow this model of secrecy because it brings forth higher chances of longevity in the relationship.
The couple met on the set of "Norway’s Next Top Model" and fell head-over-heels behind the camera. They now share a son together with the help of a surrogate! Outside of their child together, Asla also has three other daughters who live in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the pair split in 2017.
George Takei and Brad Altman
You might remember George Takei from his role as Sulu in "Star Trek," where he moved from one place to another. Brad and George met at a gay club called the Frontrunners. George was awestruck by Brad's running skills, and later on, the two worked hard to train together.
The two make a great team, and George says the secret to their relationship is working together. George works hard at being a writer and actor, while his partner is generally a great manager. The two make for a great pair and have been together for decades! Whether they know it or not, their relationship is vital for paving the way forward in Hollywood.
