#CoupleGoals: Our Favorite Hollywood Pairs Who Are Still Going Strong

Tom Selleck and Jillie Mack – Together Since 1987

Tom Selleck, a Hollywood heartthrob known for his roles in “Magnum, P.I.” and “Blue Bloods,” met Jillie Mack, a British actress, in 1983 while filming “Crossfire.” Tom, known for valuing privacy, prioritized a quieter life with Jillie. After six years of courtship, they married in a secret ceremony in 1987, with only a handful of family members present. They even used aliases!

The couple later welcomed a daughter and chose to raise their family on a ranch, a significant shift from Tom’s Hollywood spotlight. Despite Tom’s fame, he has credited Jillie’s sense of humor and their shared independence as key ingredients to their enduring love story.

Megyn Kelly and Douglas Brunt – Together Since 2008

Blind dates can be a gamble, especially for a busy journalist like Megyn Kelly. Stuck on the East Coast in 2006, a chance meeting with tech CEO Douglas Brunt changed the game. Sparks flew, but Megyn was initially thrown. Douglas wasn’t the usual brash date she was used to. He was more reserved yet offered a quiet strength and unwavering support.

By the next year, they were engaged, and in 2008, they walked down the aisle. Fast forward, they’re a team of three with their kids. In 2022, Megyn scored a massive $15 million settlement from a former employer after a lawsuit, with Douglas by her side the whole way.

Adam Sandler and Jackie Sandler – Together Since 2003

Comedy king Adam Sandler met his wife Jackie in 1999 on the set of “Big Daddy.” Jackie, a model at the time, stole Adam’s heart. Known for his goofy characters, Adam found himself smitten. They started dating soon after and tied the knot in 2003 in a ceremony with their celebrity friends.

Since then, they’ve welcomed two daughters into their family. Interestingly, Jackie has appeared in many of Adam’s movies over the years, often playing supporting roles. Their Hollywood love story shows that sometimes, love can blossom right under the lights, proving to be funny and enduring happily ever after.

Catherine Bell and Brooke Daniels – Together Since 2012

Actress Catherine Bell, known for shows like “JAG” and the “Good Witch” franchise, found love in a surprising place. In 2012, while visiting Hollywood’s Death Museum (yes, you read that right), Catherine met Brooke Daniels, a photographer and former Scientologist social worker. They hit it off despite both being amid separate divorces.

By mid-2012, they lived together and have remained a couple ever since. While they’ve kept their relationship largely private, Catherine did credit Brooke’s support system as a key to her happiness in a 2017 interview. Their love story reminds us that connection can blossom in unexpected places, sometimes even amongst gravestones.

Magic and Cookie Johnson – Together Since 1991

Magic Johnson, a basketball icon known for his dynamic career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Cookie Johnson, a dedicated philanthropist and businesswoman, first met at Michigan State University in the late 1970s. Their relationship blossomed, leading to their marriage in 1991, just 45 days after Magic’s groundbreaking announcement of his HIV-positive status.

This pivotal moment showcased their incredible strength as a couple, with Cookie’s unwavering support playing a crucial role in Magic’s public and private battles with the disease. They have two children together, and Magic has another son from a previous relationship. The Johnsons have also collaborated on various charitable endeavors, focusing on health and youth empowerment.
