"Love lives for three years" - this famous theory of relationships, described by Frederick Beigbeder in the novel, can be applied to today's life. We are used to reading about celebrity couples who sometimes converge, then disagree, then incriminate each other in treason, arrange loud divorce proceedings and write memoirs about former would-be lovers. No, no, today we want to tell you not about them at all. The heroes of this article will be famous couples who met in their youth and were able to maintain a tender relationship after many years.

Philip Yankovsky and Oksana Fandera

It's hard to believe, but the stellar marriage of two creative people is over twenty years old. It is noteworthy that their names appeared on the pages of the “yellow press” only a few times during this period, and the reasons were mostly fictitious. The actors keep repeating that mutual trust and freedom of choice contributed to this "longevity" of their marriage. After all, according to Oksana, you need to stay with your beloved only as much as your soul tells you. And no children, property and a sense of duty are able to keep you nearby. In their family, they try to resolve all controversial issues, including those with already grown-up children, solely in fairness. And once upon a time, the star father-in-law Oleg Yankovsky warned her that in their family, men marry only once.

Alexander and Ekaterina Strizhenov

The couple met just at the age of "Romeo and Juliet" - Alexander was 13 years old, and Katerina 14. They starred together in the youth film "Leader", and the cheerful Katya Tokman immediately sunk into the soul of the future famous director. After they turned 16, the children announced to their parents that they wanted to get married. Still, they had to wait two more years, but recently the couple celebrated a pearl wedding. All familiar families note Catherine's rare wisdom. She never ceases to praise her husband, sincerely considering him the support of the family, a wonderful father and the most caring husband. Well. and on the side, he prefers to turn a blind eye to the minor hobbies of the spouse.

Natalie and Alexander Rudin

Alexander noticed a pretty girl with a doll-like appearance while still a schoolboy. But his chosen one was four years younger. They had to wait long enough, and then the parents of 17-year-old Natasha had to concoct a fake pregnancy certificate so that the couple agreed to register at the registry office. This August, the couple will celebrate their 30th marriage anniversary. And, of course, the three sons of the couple will be welcome at the holiday - Arseniy, who is already 20 years old, Anatoly, who is 11 years old, and little 4-year-old Evgeniy. It was her husband who became her mentor and co-producer and provided all kinds of support on the path to fame.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr

Sarah Michelle Gellar is known for both television projects and filming in films. It was on the set of the horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer that she met her future husband. And although the heroes of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah did not live to see the final of the picture, they continued their relationship in real life. Our heroes got married after two years of meeting. Since then, 19 years have passed, the couple became the parents of a daughter, Charlotte, and a son, Rocky. The couple are happy not only in their life together, but also in creativity - together they starred in the film "Scooby-Doo" and its sequel. It is noteworthy that in the animated series they had to voice two enemies, but this fact did not affect their relationship in any way.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

As Priscilla later said, it was impossible to see the future multimillionaire in Mark - he always looked like a person out of this world. Nevertheless, it was she who first believed in the success of his project to develop and promote social networks. Their marriage was registered in 2012, and three years later they had their first daughter, and then the second. Priscilla has a huge impact on her husband. Together with him, they publicly pledged to donate 99% of all their shares, the value of which is estimated at about $ 45 billion, to charity. So, they fund health care and education, and last year they donated a considerable amount to the Stanford University fund to study the spread of COVID-19 and immunity to it.

Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus

The famous rapper, producer and actor chose not some supermodel or fan as his life friend, but his school love Shanthe Taylor. They got married in 1997, gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and even managed to become grandparents - their eldest son Cordy gave the performer and Shanta a grandson. However, there was also a dark streak in the couple's life. In 2004, the rapper filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable contradictions," but soon changed his mind and withdrew the application. Confirmation of his love was a tattoo on his right shoulder. It depicts a portrait of his wife. In 2007, a reality show took place on American television, in which all members of the musician's family participated.

Dorothea Hurley and Jon Bon Jovi

This strong family is already 32 years old, despite the incredible popularity of the singer and many fans. But her wife Dorothea claims to reporters that jealousy is alien to her, and every time she invites fans to watch a new concert program, which, in her opinion, can surprise. However, the wife herself is able to surprise - she was able to give her husband and raise four children, do charity work and also teach. According to the musician, if he sows chaos around, then his Dorothea, like glue, restores harmony in the family. Hmm … is it because the woman has a black belt in karate and teaches martial arts?

Bono and Alison Hewson

Alison first came to the attention of Bono at a high school rock concert in which he participated. After a while, they got married, never to part again. Alison admitted that they are united by passion and creativity. So, it was she who sometimes literally pulled her husband out of bed during his writing crisis in 1983 and put a pen in her hand. She was her husband's inspiration and suggested song themes to him. Once, while recording an album with U2, Bono completely forgot about her birthday. As a result, the musician's thoughts formed into the single "Sweetest Thing".

Hewson agreed to forgive her husband and even star in the video, provided that the proceeds from the sale go to the Children's Chernobyl project. The song-reflection “All I Want Is You” is also dedicated to his beloved wife. As the musician later said, in his youth he was a wanderer, not a family man, and he would have remained so if he had not met such an extraordinary woman. By the way, Alison Hewson received her diploma from the University of Dublin two weeks after the birth of her first daughter, then gave birth to another daughter and two boys. Moreover, the woman managed to combine both further studies and the upbringing of children at a time when her husband was on a long tour. Alison Hewson is now a well-known activist, philanthropist and businesswoman.
