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.
