Celebrities are notorious for not having long-lasting marriages/relationships. Many of these types of marriages only last a few months. Some last a few hours! Almost every day, we hear of a new celebrity marriage falling apart. However, there are some that defy the odds.
Some Hollywood relationships are so adorable that when they break up, we are left questioning if the love is still real (we're looking at you, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris).
Celebrity marriages come with a lot of pressure because stars are constantly in the spotlight, or their schedules don't work out, or whatever.
However, the celebrity couples we are featuring today give us hope that love in Hollywood can last. These couples work at staying together and reap the rewards.
