Meet The Better Halves Of The Most Popular Politicians In America

Barack Obama & Michelle Obama – Married For 29 Years

Love finds us at the strangest of places, and former US president Barack Obama is no different. The leader first met the love of his life Michelle at an office in a law firm where they were both working in 1989, and as they say, the rest is history.

Being the president of the most powerful nation in the world came with its fair share of scrutiny, and Michelle was the glue that held the Obamas together. We doubt they thought they would be together close to three decades since they walked down the aisle, and the couple still amazes us with their public affection.

Adam Schiff & Eve Sanderson – Married For 26 Years

How often do you find a modern day couple named as the first humans according to the Bible; Adam and Eve? When the American politician first met his wife Eve at a tennis match in 1990, we bet it didn’t cross his mind that they would be creating their own garden years later.

They tied the knot in 1995 after dating for five years and have been together since. The congressman and his spouse look happier than ever, and in a world where celebrity marriages are tumbling like dominoes, the couple’s worked hard to keep theirs intact. That’s what you get when there’s mutual respect, love, and support in a relationship!

Al Franken & Franni Bryson – Married For 46 Years

Many people have made unexpected career switches in the past, and Al Franken is among them. Before getting into politics, Al was writing for Saturday Night Live and rising to fame in the comedy business. The politician has been equally successful in his love life, too, having been together with his wife Franni Bryson for forty-six years!

They have indeed weathered many life storms, supporting each other through thick and thin. Being in the limelight can take a toll on a marriage, but Franni and Al have managed to stick together since meeting in college and have raised their two children happily.

Al Gore & Elizabeth Keadle – Dating For 9 Years

Al Gore is a famous politician who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States for eight years until 2001. The environmentalist has had a turbulent romantic life, with his long-term marriage to Tipper Aitcheson ending in separation in 2010 after four decades together.

Despite the heartbreak, Gore picked up the pieces, moved on, and found love in Elizabeth Keadle, an environmental activist. The pair started dating in 2012 and have stuck through. If their public appearances are anything to go by, they look happier than ever as well. Maybe wedding bells will be echoing soon; we’ll have to wait and see.

Amy Klobuchar & John Bessler – Married For 28 Years

When Amy Klobuchar and John Bessler met at a café in their native Minneapolis in 1992, we doubt they knew they’d spend the rest of their lives together. Yet, cupid immediately struck, and a year later, they tied the knot, having been engaged at a bookstore!

While their relationship might have been unorthodox, it has stood the test of time. John has been supportive of Amy’s political career, which comes with immense pressure, but the couple has weathered it all. The pair is the ultimate marriage goal, and we’d love to know what makes their union tick.
