On Aug. 31, designer and reality-television personality Rachel Zoe marked 22 years of marriage to Rodger Berman — a quiet reminder that, even amid the celebrity breakup headlines, some high-profile relationships endure. Below are ten such partnerships, their milestones and the everyday habits that seem to keep them steady. The emphasis isn’t on fairy-tale romance but on practical, repeated choices: steadiness, mutual support and shared routines.
Celebrated marriages and key milestones
- – Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman — Married 1991 Zoe and Berman have kept much of their life out of the glare, letting longevity speak for itself. Their marriage points to the power of private rituals and mutual familiarity: knowing how the other thinks and showing up day after day.
- – Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick — Married May 9, 1997; three children Their union centers on hands-on parenting and a deliberately low-key domestic life. Parker has often praised Broderick’s role at home; their steadiness feels like a series of small, coordinated decisions rather than dramatic gestures.
- – Meryl Streep and Don Gummer — Married Sept. 30, 1978; four children Streep and Gummer have long resisted tabloid spectacle. Their marriage illustrates how professional respect, predictability and a shared creative ethic can anchor a relationship across decades.

- – Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson — Married 1988; two sons Hanks often describes their life together as both effortless and meaningful. Their marriage suggests that the mundane — routine compromises, clearly understood roles and consistent presence — often matters far more than grand romantic gestures.
- – Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell — Together since 1983; blended family Hawn and Russell model a blended-family life rooted in warmth and mutual respect. Their example shows that families formed from previous relationships can thrive when everyday choices prioritize cooperation and affection.
- – Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston — Married 1977; three daughters Bridges has said he felt an immediate sense of belonging with Geston. Their decades-long partnership underscores the value of shared values early on, a mutual sense of home, and a low-key commitment to family privacy.
- – Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick — Married Sept. 4, 1988; two children Their relationship is marked by consistent affirmation and reciprocal respect. Small, repeated actions — verbal encouragements, steady presence through career ups and downs — build a durable emotional reserve over the years.
- – Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham — Together since 1986; engaged 1992 (never married) Winfrey and Graham maintain parallel but intersecting lives, each with large professional worlds. Their dynamic shows that commitment can thrive without a wedding certificate: shared rituals, aligned values and generous boundaries create continuity.
- – Ray Romano and Anna Romano — Longtime partners before fame; four children Romano credits Anna with keeping him grounded. Their bond illustrates how shared history, steady care and ordinary daily habits can outlast public attention and industry pressures.
Look past names and headlines and a few common threads emerge. Long-lasting partnerships tend to favor privacy over performance; they rely on routine, not spectacle; and they center on mutual support through work and family life. Whether married for decades or committed without formalities, these couples have cultivated a pattern of small, reliable behaviors — showing up, listening, negotiating roles — that accrue into lasting trust.
No single formula guarantees endurance. But from blended-family diplomacy to synchronized parenting, from protected private spaces to steady public support, these ten relationships suggest that longevity is less about fireworks and more about daily fidelity to one another.
