Meet The Better Halves Of The Most Successful Celebrities Out There

Chris Wallace & Lorraine Martin Smothers – 23 Years

They say that experience is the best education. So because Both Chris Wallace and his wife Lorraine have been married before, they know how to make it work now. This isn’t even Wallace’s longest marriage, although it will become it eventually, judging by how well it’s being kept together.

What’s the secret to their longevity? Well, Lorraine will tell you it’s a traditional Sunday Lunch soup that is keeping her marriage and family going. As a matter of fact, this tradition is so effective that she actually shared her soup recipes in a 2010 cookbook called Mr. Sunday Recipes.

Jake Tapper & Jennifer Marie Brown – 14 Years

Jake Tapper is one of the most recognizable faces on American television, thanks to his work on shows like The Lead With Jake Tapper and State Of The Union. But his wife, Jennifer Marie Brown, is on the other end of the spectrum, choosing to stay out of the spotlight instead.

What little information we know is about her work with Planned Parenthood. She met Tapper in 2004 at a hotel bar, and they got married in 2006 in an intimate ceremony.  In July 2020, a film based on Tapper’s book, The Outpost, premiered. It stars Milo Gibson, Orlando Bloom, Scott Eastwood, and Caleb Landry Jones.

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson – 32 Years

What’s it like being married to the nicest guy in Hollywood? Well, you just have to ask actress Rita Wilson. She is married to Tom Hanks, who carries that title with great pride. The Forest Gump star met his wife on the set of the sitcom Bosom Buddies in 1981.

But they only got serious after meeting again in 1985 on the set of the film Volunteer. Hanks was so smitten by her he converted to Greek Orthodox Christianity so that he could marry her. In March 2020, Hanks revealed that both he and Wilson had been diagnosed with COVID-19 while in Australia shooting the Elvis biopic.

Richard Gere & Alejandra Silva – 1 Year

Richard Gere must still have Pretty Woman stuck in his head after all these years because he married one not too long ago, and she’s 34 years younger than him. That age gap has everyone talking, especially since it doesn’t work out well when doing the math.

This is because, according to the equation that calculates the ideal age gap (age/2+7), his young Bride, Alejandra Silva, is ten years too young for him. But it doesn’t seem to bother them, and it hasn’t stopped them from moving along with their marriage, and they already have two children together.

Caitlyn Jenner & Sophia Hutchins – 5 Years

If you thought that the age gap between Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva was massive, it doesn’t even compare to the 47-year difference between Caitlyn Jenner and Sophia Hutchins. While it’s an example of age not mattering, it’s also helped along by the fact that there is no romance in this relationship.

It’s more like a professional friendship, as Jenner puts it. Hutchins is also a transgender woman and the founder and CEO of the odorless, makeup friendly sunscreen called Limassol. The 23-year-old entrepreneur is a former Pepperdine University student, and her affiliation with Caitlyn began in 2015.

Tom Brokaw & Meredith Lynn Auld – 58 Years

While his career has been soaring since 1966, his marriage to his wife Meredith Lynn Auld has persevered even longer. They both got married in 1962, and Auld even helped him overcome cancer. Talk about a match made in heaven!

Dan Rather & Jean Goebel – 63 Years

In America, it’s usually soldiers who are considered true heroes, but Dan Rather can be considered one as well. He created the first radar weather report when he placed a transparent map over a radar image. The year was 1961, the radar image was of Hurricane Carla, and Rather’s creation initiated the evacuation of 350,000 people in Texas.

Besides his heroics, he was also known as one of the top three news anchors in America. Before his heroics, he married Jean Goebel in 1957. He has described her as his inspiration throughout his career, and he is still active, currently hosting the eighth season of The Big Interview With Dan Rather.

Rush Limbaugh & Kathryn Adams Limbaugh – 10 Years

Rush Limbaugh has been married four times, with three of them ending in divorce. But his most recent marriage to former Party Planner Kathryn Rogers appears to have lasted the test of time. It’s at least been as long as his previous marriage to Marta Fitzgerald.

They married in 2010, with Elton John providing the entertainment. There have been talks of trouble in paradise, with rumors of Rogers having an affair. But it appears that all is well, and the popular yet controversial radio host hasn’t split from his wife. In January 2020, Limbaugh was diagnosed with lung cancer, and in October, he announced that his ailment was terminal.

Jane Pauley & Garry Trudeau – 40 Years

Andrea Mitchell is a Journalist with a strong political nouse. She has been a political analyst for NBC and reported on the 2008 US Presidential Election.

Greenspan Chaired the US Federal Reserve under presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.

Pierce Brosnan & Keely Shaye Smith – 19 Years

Despite being a charming James Bond, Pierce Brosnan is not much of a lady’s man in real life. As a matter of fact, despite being married twice, it probably wouldn’t have been the case if his first wife, actress Cassandra Harris, hadn’t passed away due to ovarian cancer.

But, he found love again with journalist Keely Shaye Smith, who interviewed Brosnan in Mexico, and they instantly felt a strong connection. They stayed in contact and dated for a while before eventually marrying in 2001. Their union is considered one of the happiest in Hollywood.

At one point, she starred with fellow gay former actress Kristy McNicholin in the show Family and had her first relationship with a woman in 2002.

Pat Sajak & Lesly Brown – 30 Years

Sajak decided to act, and he proposed to Brown, with them marrying on New Year’s Eve in 1989. They have two kids together.

 Alec Baldwin & Hilaria Baldwin – 9 Years

Alec Baldwin has one of the most captivating smiles in Hollywood. It’s no wonder that the ladies swoon over him, and at one point, Kim Basinger called him her husband. Many Hollywood ladies must’ve thought it was their lucky day when Baldwin and Basinger split in 2002.

It wasn’t until 2011 that he met and started dating yoga instructor Hilaria Lynn Thomas, now known as Hilaria Baldwin. It didn’t take them long to go from dating to marriage because by June 2012, they were exchanging vows at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in New York City.

Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman – 15 Years

For just over 11 years, Nicole Kidman was in one of the most high profile marriages in Hollywood with Tom Cruise. But alas, they didn’t last, with Cruise filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. For years Kidman couldn’t let go, speaking openly about her love for Cruise.

It helps that Leno has millions in his bank account and about 280 vehicles in his collection, but he also boasts an enduring marriage.

The other irony is that Bertinelli initially just wanted two guests at her wedding, and they weren’t even her son and ex-husband. But the guest list grew to over 100. Bertinelli was last seen on TV, hosting a show on the Food Network called the Family Restaurant Rivalry. Van Halen, meanwhile passed away on 6 October 2020.

Russell Wilson & Ciara – 4 Years

Russell Wilson must’ve thought he had done the unthinkable by getting his new wife Ciara to take his surname. But the joke was on him since she doesn’t use a surname anyway. But none of that matters since the marriage is going strong.

Their four years together may not seem like much, but considering that Russel’s previous marriage to Ashton Meem before only lasted two years, doubling that is a massive achievement.  In January 2020, they announced that they’re expecting their second child.

But McDowell isn’t a slouch either, with five studio albums to his name. Plus, his third Album, Withholding Nothing, topping the gospel charts and earning him a Grammy nomination. Knight, meanwhile, hasn’t released any new music since 2014 with the album Where My Heart Belongs.
