We’ve recently had to say a teary goodbye to some of Hollywood’s most popular power couples, but in an effort to believe in love again, we’ve decided to take a look at A-list pairs who’ve stood the test of time.
Couples Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt and Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor all ended their romances in recent times, and they weren’t the only ones to feel loves keen sting…
But despite it being a tough time for ~lurve~ in Tinseltown, it’s important to remember the dynamic duos whose genuine affection for each other has helped them survive the pressures of their industry.
Perhaps Hugh Jackman, who has been married to Deborra-Lee Furness for over 20 years, put it best when told Good House Keeping in 2011, “The best part about being married is that feeling of being a team. All couples have ups and downs, so having someone you trust is priceless.” Amen to that, Hugh!

Neil shared a photo of his leading man and their six-year-old son Gideon, penning, “Thirteen years and one day ago, I crossed paths with the guy on the left. The adventures have never ceased. The love has never waned. The gifts are never ending (the guy on the right, e.g.). Happy Anniversary, @dbelicious. You’re the best.” David also paid tribute to their milestone, gushing, “Thank you Neil for being compassionate, adventurous, and an all around fantastic man. I love you more than ever.”
Despite beginning their relationship in 2004, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who are pictured here at their first appearance as a couple in 2007 (L), came out as an item in 2006.

You’ve met the right man, and luckily you’ve done so at the right time.”
These days, the couple adore being parents to their twins Gideon and Harper. Neil revealed that the six-year-olds were even involved in 2013 nuptials in Italy. “Harper was the flower girl. Gideon was supposed to be the ring bearer. He said, ‘I’m the orange boy.’ We said, ‘What in the world is an orange boy?’ He explained this whole thing that he comes down with a basket of oranges and he hands the oranges to everyone [at the wedding].”

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are the ultimate Hollywood pin-up. Despite being together since 1983, they’ve never married. “The question is, ‘Why [get married]?’ It’s not, ‘Why not?’ We love each other. We fight the way people are supposed to fight. We love our lives together,” the actress has revealed.
They’ll be celebrating 34 years of marriage on August 21 but for Bono and Ali Hewson, pictured here in 2002 (L) and 2014 (R), it’s all about the humour. “She’s a very independent, smart kind of girl, who, I think, sees me as a figure of amusement. Most of the time, I enjoy her company,” the Irishman revealed to The Sun.
Talking to Goodhouse Keeping Sarah Jessica Parker revealed the secret to her 19 year marriage with Matthew Broderick, “I think growing up in a big family taught me a lot of problem solving and how to share and compromise, and that’s been helpful in my marriage.” One of the first times they showed off their love was at the 1993 Golden Globe Award (L) and in January this year (R) they were still head over heels!
Back in 1997 (L) they were newly married and just starting their careers, now an Emmy, some Tony Awards and two beautiful kids later, Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness are still blissfully happy.

Almost 38 years ago Meryl Streep married sculptor Don Gummer. Seen here together in London in 1980 (L) the pair have kept a relatively simple life after having four children. Earlier this year the Oscar-winner told Marie Clare, “You just have to keep on doing what you do. It’s the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.”
Despite never marrying and keeping their relationship very private, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have proved that love can last in Hollywood. They were beaming in 1987 (L), a year after they became a couple, and earlier this year at the Oscar’s they had that same look of love almost three decades later.
