Cyndi Lauper and David Thornton – 28 Years
Singer Cindy Lauper and actor David Thorton are successful because they’re basically a team. The couple married in 1991, and share a 21-year-old son who was born in 1997. The duo tried to balance life at home with their careers, but Cindy always found herself to be the busiest one of the two.
Still, they have managed to include happiness in their little arrangement. When she needed to work, Thorton stayed with their son, Declyn, waiting for her to come back with open arms. In 2018, Lauper guest-starred as a lawyer in the reboot of the television series Magnum P.I.

Phoebe Cates was a renowned actress in the ’80s, while Kevin Kline was a theatrically trained actor, famous for his role in the highly acclaimed film Sophie’s Choice. They had a gap of 16 years between them, but that didn’t deter them from falling for each other.

Phoebe gave birth to their first child in 1991, then to their daughter in 1994. They’ve been happy ever since. Kline starred in the 2017 live-action adaptation film Beauty and the Beast.
