Hollywood Couples That Have Been Together For So Long And Still Going Strong

Kyle Busch & Samantha Busch – Married Since 2010

Celebrated NASCAR driver Kyle Busch first met Samantha in 2007. He met the entrepreneur and lifestyle blogger at a racing event where she was a promotional model studying psychology at Purdue University. Their connection blossomed into a romantic relationship, and they exchanged vows in 2010.

Their Chicago ceremony was featured in a television special titled “Fast and the Fabulous: A NASCAR Wedding.” ​In 2015, their family grew with the birth of their son, Brexton Locke, and later with a daughter, Lennix Key, via surrogate in 2022. The journey to parenthood was challenging, inspiring them to establish the Bundle of Joy Fund for IVF. ​

Emmitt Smith & Patricia Southall – Married for 20 Years

Former NFL running back Emmitt Smith decided to marry someone smart and beautiful when he got together with 1993 Miss Virginia and James Madison University alumni Patricia Southall. Not that he isn’t a smart guy himself, because he also graduated from the University of Florida.

Besides being a beauty queen, Southall is also a journalism graduate and was married to comedian Martin Lawrence for two years. Together with Emmitt, she founded the Pat & Emmitt Smith Charities organization to find and fund worthy charitable organizations. Sadly, after 20-years together, the couple announced that they were getting a divorce.

Roger Staubach & Marianne Staubach – Married for 55 Years

Roger Staubach is famous for being one of the best quarterbacks of his generation. Affectionately known as Roger The Dodger, he still is a Dallas Cowboys legend, although he admits he wasn’t paid a pretty penny like modern quarterbacks. He started a real estate company, though, that eventually led to his current $600-million net worth.

Between dominating the football field and taking over the real estate world, there was only one constant in Staubach’s life, and that was his wife, Marianne. Together they have five children, and while Roger was out building his millions, Marianne was the glue that held his family and his life together.

Michael Irvin & Sandy Harrell  – Married for 30 Years

Despite all the controversy surrounding Michael Irvin, including a stabbing rumor, he still got inducted into the NFL Hall Of Fame. It’s all thanks to his stellar performances and incredible stats, like his 65 touchdowns and 47 100-yard receiving games.

It’s also a good thing that Irvin’s numerous issues, especially the indecent assault and his admitted philandering during his playing days, didn’t lead his wife, Sandy Harrel, to leave his side. The couple has even been married since June 1990 and has four children together. Irvin is currently an analyst for NFL Network.

Joe Buck & Michelle Beisner-Buck – Married for 6 Years

You would think that sportscasters from rival networks wouldn’t mix, but not in Joe Buck and Michelle Beisner-Buck’s case. Joe, a sportscaster for Fox Sports, and Michelle, host of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, have been married for six years. In 2018, they even welcomed twins.

Joe is an award-winning sportscaster with several Emmy Awards for his work. Meanwhile, Michelle was a cheerleader for the Denver Broncos before cutting her teeth as a sideline reporter for car racing before moving into NFL. Besides her sportscasting work, she has also had small roles in films like Any Given Sunday and Alice in Wasteland.
