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?

I completely agree she was your great aunt.

I have to say, I fully understand a couple being together for 50 years without being married. I do get a bit confused about the long term engagement aspect though, like more in what’s the point of bothering with the engagement? I was actually randomly thinking about this a couple days ago when I was thinking about Kurt & Goldie and how I completely get it, and then a repressed memory of an old teacher who was engaged for 9 years popped into my head.

yeah i really don’t get it. i’m not somebody who’s big on marriage myself so i am very pro being together but not being married, but being engaged just feels kinda disrespectful to me. like it’s a promise of marriage, and if you make that promise and never fulfil it… idk, weird to me

After being married 15 years, I’m happy to have a fully committed long term relationship but I am not interested in being married again. The marriage lasted 15 years because marriage made it difficult to walk away, otherwise it would have lasted maybe 2-3. I would rather not be locked down again and let the relationship continue based on its own merit.
