Everyone is used to the fact that the stars get married every now and then, then get divorced, that even the next news that one of them has found their soul mate is not taken seriously. "How long this time?" - think many ordinary people and are not even surprised when another representative of the world of show business is in an active search. Yes, strong celebrity marriages are rare. But they are. And today we will focus on those who have lived in perfect harmony for many years.

Vera Alentova and Vladimir Menshov (married for 58 years)

The teachers of the Moscow Art Theater considered Vladimir Menshov to be hopeless, and therefore he could enter the forge of cinematographic shots only on the fourth attempt. And in the educational institution, a fateful meeting with Vera Alentova took place. Already in their second year, the lovers got married: they played a modest student wedding, lived in a dormitory, but when, it would seem, everything worked out for the spouses (a daughter was born, they became in demand in the profession, bought housing), they decided to leave. True, having lived 4 years apart, they realized that love is still alive and got back together. Much time has passed since then: Alentova played the same Katya Tikhomirova in Menshov's film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears", the picture received an Oscar, their daughter Julia herself has become a popular presenter and actress, and the couple is still together.

Meryl Streep and Don Gummer (married 42 years)

For the first time, young people met at a time when Streep was experiencing severe grief: her fiancé John Casale died of cancer. It was hard for Meryl to live in the apartment where her lover spent the last days of her life, so her brother invited her to stay in the apartment of the sculptor Don Gummer, who was going to go on a European tour, for a while. It was in this house that they accidentally crossed, and later wrote letters to each other while the man traveled. Despite the fact that Streep's fiancé died in the spring, they married Gummer in the fall of that year. But the actress never regretted her decision: the couple have 4 children, and at social events, the husband and wife invariably appear together, holding hands.

Alexander and Ekaterina Strizhenov (became husband and wife 33 years ago)

One of the strongest and most harmonious couples met while still schoolchildren in 1984: both came to Sochi to shoot the film "Leader". Since then, the lovers have not parted, and the wedding was played immediately after Alexander became an adult (he is a year younger than Catherine). If around other, even strong couples, every now and then there are rumors of parting, then the Stirzhenovs are a rare exception: everyone knows how spouses love each other. By the way, their two daughters are already quite adults.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson (married for 32 years)

Once the actor admitted that if he met Rita during his school years, he would not even dare to approach her: she is too beautiful, too self-confident. However, the young people were lucky to cross paths on the set, and, according to rumors, the relationship between them began when Hanks was still living with his first wife. Nevertheless, the actors have been together for more than 30 years and have raised two sons.

Nikita and Tatiana Mikhalkov (married 47 years ago)

Perhaps this will be a revelation for you, but Tatiana, before becoming the wife of Mikhalkov, worked as a fashion model. Of course, then this profession was not so honorable, and the girls who chose it were called clothing demonstrators. Young people met before Nikita joined the army, and after returning from service, he first went to ask for the girl's hand. Mikhalkov believed that a wife should stay at home, raise children and create comfort. Probably, it was because of this that his first marriage with Anastasia Vertinskaya broke up, who did not want to give up her career. Tatyana, however, accepted the conditions of the groom, left the podium and gave birth to three children.

Godi Hawn and Kurt Russell (37 years together)

Surprisingly, fate brought the two actors together not in 1983, when they realized that they were made for each other, but much earlier: in the late 60s, Hawn and Russell starred together in the film "One Only Truly Original Family Orchestra". But then the young people did not pay much attention to each other, and Goldie even managed to be married twice. True, after both marriages, she was left with practically nothing: the ex-spouses made sure that the actress gave them generous compensation. However, the lovers, having started living together in the 80s, did not dare to formally formalize the relationship. Even their children have already had their own families, but Hole and Russell note that the stamp in their passports has never played any role for them.

Mikhail Boyarsky and Larisa Luppian (married 45 years ago)

Mikhail and Larisa met at the Lensovet Theater, when both played in the play "Troubadour and His Friends". True, later the actress admitted that she remembered Boyarsky from the institute, but then she did not like him. But the joint work brought the young people closer together, but the director was against their relationship, who believed that office romances did not lead to anything good. True, the lovers went against everyone and settled in Luppian's room, which the theater allocated to her. However, Boyarsky was in no hurry to make an offer, but later realized that Larisa was his destiny. She gave up her career for the sake of her family. And the couple together for almost half a century and raised a son and daughter (you know, of course, the actress Elizaveta Boyarskaya).

Adriano Celantano and Claudia Mori (married for 56 years)

The story of one of the most beautiful and strongest Italian couples began in 1963, when the actors starred in the movie "Some Strange Type". Mori immediately won Celentano's heart, which could not be said about the girl: Claudia was spoiled by male attention and did not immediately pay attention to her partner. Adriano made several attempts to charm the actress, but each time he was refused. As a result, the case helped: once on the set, a light bulb broke, and the fragments from it hit Celentano's face. Mori agreed to go on a date with him as an apology. And a little later, during one of his concerts, the actor confessed his love to the chosen one in a crowded hall. They got married secretly, and for the sake of her husband, Claudia left her acting career, becoming the executive director of the family film production company.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne (married 38 years ago)

Sharon's father was the manager of Black Sabbath, of which Ozzy was a member. Then the girl was 18 years old, but she started dating the musician later, when he was fired from the team, and then she took his career into her own hands. Three years later, the young people got married, and soon three children were born. Ozzy's career with the appearance of Sharon went to faith, and later their whole friendly family starred in a reality show.
