Top 10 Longest Celebrity Marriages
Marriage is no easy task, especially in Hollywood. Almost all celebrity weddings we see today have prenuptial agreements.
It’s not uncommon to see newlywed couples breaking up in a few months for various reasons, and when it comes to getting married, lawyer counseling is one of the most stressful things you can go through. However, some Hollywood couples have passed the test of time and are still married after years of tying the knot. Surprising, right?
Did you know over 50% of marriages in the United States end up with a divorce lawyer settling affairs? This is why it’s weird to see celeb couples still together in decade-long marriages.
Here are the top 10 celebrity marriages still going strong in Hollywood today.
