BlogValentine’s Day is a time to cherish your partner, reflect on the amazing experiences you’ve had together, and dream about your shared future.
While it seems that most celebrity relationships don’t last much longer than the movies they star in, there are some happy couples that have really stood the test of time.
Let’s take a look at some of these relationships, and see if we can learn any of their secrets to happiness.
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
Kevin and Kyra have been together since the 1980s, literally another century! They have been through it all–red hot fame, raising two amazing kids, and even having a massive amount of money stolen (estimated around $30 million) in a Ponzi scheme.
In fact, it was losing that money that has brought them some of their greatest happiness in recent years. After the financial hit, the couple moved to their farm in Sharon, Connecticut. They have owned the 40-acre farm where they spend most of their time for decades, but made the move permanent around 2010. They love to make Instagram videos of them singing to their animals, especially their goats!
The happy couple have recovered from their financial loss, with a current net worth of more than $45 million. But it’s not the money that brings them happiness; as Kyra once said, Kevin has a sense of humor, which is vital to their continued happiness.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick
If there ever were an iconic celeb couple, it would be Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Together since the early 1990s, the couple is full of celebrity, class, and New York lifestyle.
Most famous for her role as NYC “It Girl” Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker has been a recognizable face out and about in the Big Apple for more than 20 years. Matthew Broderick is equally well-known, especially in theater circles. The couple clearly love living in New York City.
In 2016, the couple bought not one but two townhouses in the West Village, for about $35 million. They then got to work renovating the combined space of nearly 14,000 square feet to their exact specifications. After $50 million in renovations, they had a massive mansion complete with a 2,000 square foot private garden in the middle of the city.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have this insane ability to both look like a million bucks (more like a combined $450 million), and still feel like a totally relatable happy couple with kids. Both Blake and Ryan have had recent successful films, which has put them in the spotlight, where they love to tease and flirt with each other.
The happy family of six spends a lot of their time in their Pound Ridge, New York estate, which the couple bought fairly quickly after dating back in 2012, for about $5.7 million. They tied the knot the same year, and have since had four adorable kids. The 8,000 square foot house is perfect for a family of six. Set on 11 acres, it has orchards, ponds, guest residence, and gorgeous 19th century farm house decor and detailing.
David and Victoria Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham are living a smashing real-life love story you think can only take place in movies. David was a working class soccer player whose talent was discovered in his early teens, and quickly became one of the most impressive players in the world.
Victoria grew up wealthy, and decided early on she wanted to be famous. She worked hard at acting and singing and was cast as “Posh Spice” in the most successful girl group of all time, the Spice Girls.
The two met in 1997 and were married in a massive ceremony, complete with matching gold thrones! Their luxurious life has continued apace, including owning homes around the world, including one estate nicknamed “Beckingham Palace” by fans.
The couple, now worth more than half a billion dollars, have turned a large former barn into a massive and bespoke property, where they now reside. The house and two acres of land set them back $10 million, and renovations another $4 million. Nowaways, it’s a perfect home base for their growing kids, and a respite when the busy power couple need a break.
While we can’t all be millionaires with perfect homes and movie star spouses, it’s fun to read about the love stories of some of our favorite actors and celebs, and see how love can be like a fine wine-it gets better with time. Here’s to a Happy Valentine’s Day, and many more to come!
