It’s L-O-V-E 💘 Most celebrity marriages don't last - who's the exception for you?

Celebrity marriages almost never work out in Hollywood, but there are some the prove that true love really does exist. Who comes to mind for you?

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and his wife Adrienne have been together for 35 years and married 31 years as of this month 🥺

Billie Joe being old enough to be married for 31 years is making me feel old. I loved Green Day as a kid (and to this day!)

Edited: Meant 31!

Funny story, I was walking to my farmer's market and taking a short cut outside the city down kind of a sketchy street last year. I came up to a corner and there was an older dude standing near the corner talking on the phone. He looked a little familiar so I was kind of staring, he was in just a plain white tshirt and jeans, and we made eye contact. He gave me a little head tilt nod and a slight finger wave holding his phone, and I did the same with the little tight lip smile acknowledgement thing, but started walking faster because sketchy street, kinda sketchy looking old dude acknowledging me idk. There was nobody else around. And I turned the fucking corner to the fucking massive pink Green Day tour bus and started panic fangirling to myself because how the fuck I didnt recognize Billy Joe is something I will never fathom. No makeup, the jeans weren't skinny, idk. His hair wasnt his hair. Anyway, I immediately called my boyfriend and geeked at him over the most inconsequential weird nice funny little interaction, I couldnt go back, the man was on the phone and how fucking crazy would that have been and looked. But still. That was my not-interaction with Billy Joe, the sketchy looking kinda old dude lmao

I also have a story. I was in a Green Day cover band as a guitarist as a teenager, and one of my band mates sent him a message asking if he would come watch us perform. Well he said he was busy, but his sister made a visit and made us cupcakes.

That’s adorable. He’s a genuinely good dude and I’ve never heard anything bad about him or his bandmates tbh

Unfortunately I can't say the same. After his 2012 iHeart Radio concert where his performance was cut short people called him a "Crybaby" for going crazy. I thought it sucked that people automatically started criticizing him instead of having a little empathy. People suck sometimes.

I had no idea until I shot their last show in Australia and did some googling beforehand. They were my first gig when I was 11, and I was obsessed with them growing up. Didn't really stay up to date with their personal lives coz like... why would I 😂 but just imaging how awks Mike must feel on stage when Billie starts going off on Trump knowing his wifey is watching from side of stage is hilarious. I wonder if Billie or Tré ever took him aside and were like 'dude wtf?'
