Joanna Lumley and Stephen Barlow

In a world where many celebrity marriages are doomed to fail before they start, sustaining one for over three decades is no mean feat. Legendary actress Joanna Lumley first met her husband Stephen Barlow at an event, and they immediately hit it off, tying the knot in 1986.

You’d think constant communication has kept the couple going for this long, but according to Joanna, they give each other space as they both love independence, especially when they’re on the road. Quite a strange relationship, but it has worked for thirty-five years, which is absolutely inspiring.

Kate Silverton and Mike Heron

Kate Silverton and Mike Heron have been in love with each other for eleven beautiful years. All these years of togetherness and two adorable kids later, they still have that spark we seldom see except in newly-in-love couples.

We’re glad she readily accepted his romantic proposal in 2009, marking a new beginning for the gorgeous pair. A year later, the Strictly Come Dancing star wed her beau in a fairytale white wedding with snowflakes showering down from the skies.

In the year 2020, Kate Garraway and her husband Derek Draper’s marriage was thrust into the spotlight. After being introduced by their mutual friend Gloria De Piero, who used to work with Kate.

The couple married on September 10, 2005. In front of family and friends, as well as a surprise Strictly Come Dancing guest, they said “I do” in London. Derek invited professional dancer Brendan Cole to the wedding after they developed a secret friendship. “Hilariously, Brendan Cole was at the wedding, years before I did Strictly Come Dancing,” Kate told The Times. I assumed he was someone’s boyfriend, but Derek had been sneaking around with him taking dancing lessons.

The couple has supported one another after 28 years of marriage. Their combined daughters, Ruby and Molly Lowe, were born. The couple still resides together and just paid £800,000 for a new home.

Victoria Derbyshire and Mark Sandell

While many people would date for a couple of years before tying the knot, others like Victoria Derbyshire like to take their time. The famous television presenter dated his now-husband for a whopping fifteen years before finally walking down the aisle in 2018.

Considering that they have been together for all that while, we bet they are comfortable with each other now more than ever, and if the images they both post online are anything to go by, happiness and love abound in their household. Victoria hasn’t been forthcoming with what makes their marriage tick, but we hope she’ll let the cat out of the bag soon.

Charlie Stayt and Anne Breckell

Charlie Stayt, an English newsreader, marked his 680th appearance on BBC’s “Breakfast” in 2021, making him one of the country’s most successful journalists. Stayt’s personal life has been just as solid as his professional life: after all, he’s been happily married since 1995.

Annie Breckell is his wife. They have two children together and keep their personal lives very quiet. Breckell’s present position is unknown, however, she had previously worked as an actor, making a brief cameo in the TV series “The Bill.”

Fiona Bruce and Nigel Sharrocks

In a world where many celebrity marriages tumble before they make any progress, Fiona Bruce and her husband Nigel Sharrocks have somehow made their union work for over two decades. The pair met when Fiona was working at an advertising agency, where Nigel was the company director.

Since their nuptials in 1994, the power couple has been together through thick and thin, and despite their busy respective work schedules, they never fail to be there for each other. Safe to say, Fiona and Nigel are the epitome of a successful marriage, and hopefully, they’ll shed more light on their relationship secrets.

Dan Walker and Sarah Walker

While some celebrities love to share the inner workings of their family lives, English journalist Dan Walker is a bit different. The famous presenter has revealed little about his wife and children, but we do know that he met his spouse Sarah Walker, in 1999, at the University of Sheffield, where they both went.

Two years later, the lovebirds were ready to make it official, and they exchanged their vows in an intimate, private ceremony. It seems like Dan is super protective of his brood, and we bet the privacy has enabled them to wade through the sometimes tough marriage life, and with their three offspring, they make the perfect family of five.
