Let’s face it, celebrity marriages last about as long as Paris Hilton’s celibacy vows. We have compiled a top 10 of celebrity marriages that have, surprisingly, survived the test of time. And by “test of time” we mean more than a few months. Oh, and don’t write to us about why we haven’t included Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. That disaster has been so well-documented it is all played-out. So here they are, in no particular order.
1. PAUL NEWMAN and JOANNE WOODWARD - 48 Years
Probably the King and Queen of successful celebrity marriages. They are fast approaching the fifty year mark which is nearly unheard of anywhere these days, let alone in Hollywood. Oh, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid rocks.
2. Catherine Zeta-Jones and MICHAEL DOUGLAS - 6 Years
Considering he is 432 years older than she is, they seem to be getting on quite well. They shot out a child or two, and he seems eager to keep up, by dying his hair and botoxing his face into oblivion. There may be trouble on the horizon though - both their careers are on a downturn - a surefire catalyst for Hollywood marital trouble.
3. KATE HUDSON and CHRIS ROBINSON - 6 Years
Yes, this couple has really not been married that long, but considering that she is beautiful and he looks like Keith Richards crossed with Grizzly Adams, it is pretty astonishing that they are still together. Oh yeah, he apparently used to be a heroin addict as well. Recent media reports have had Kate talking up the fact that her husband loves porn and she is fine with it. There you have it! Porn saves another marriage. OOPS! THIS ONE IS HISTORY!
4. JOHNNY CASH and JUNE CARTER CASH - 35 Years
They are both dead, so this marriage is rock solid.
5. REESE WITHERSPOON and RYAN PHILLIPE - 7 Years
There have been a lot of rumors of trouble on and off for the last 5 years, but Reese and Ryan just keep having children and defying the odds. When pictured with their children - the blonde and cute quotient goes off the chart. . OOPS! THIS ONE IS HISTORY!
6. GARTH BROOKS and TRISHA YEARWOOD - 1.5 Years
O.K., they have only been married for less than 2 years, but what makes it surprising is that have yet to eat one another.
7. WILL SMITH and JADA PINKETT SMITH - 9 Years
As they close in on 10 years of marriage, Will and Jada remain surprisingly out of the spotlight. They seem well-adjusted and happy. I get the impression that this is because Jada wears the pants and would tear Will’s balls off if he stepped out of line.
8. SARAH JESSICA PARKER and MATTHEW BRODERICK
- 9 Years
Also clocking in at 9 years, what makes the logevity of this marriage so surprising is that SHE’S A MAN BABY! But considering their are rumors that he’s gay, maybe it all makes perfect sense.
9. MELANIE GRIFFITH and ANTONIO BANDERAS - 10 Years
Just into the double-digits, this is perhaps the most surprising marriage of all. First, her “career” is now a complete zero, while his remains active. Second, he is still relatively young and good-looking, while she is 126 years-old with more calogen in her lips than Meg Ryan and Jessica Simpson combined. Considering the evidence, I would guess this one must really be true love. Either that, or Melanie sold her soul to Satan. Yeah, maybe it is the whole Satan thing.
10. MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE - 6 Years
Can they really only have been married for 6 years?! Jesus, it seems like this one has been going on forever. Frankly, I’m surprised it has lasted this long, and I suspect that this one will definitely be over by the end of the decade.
