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.

Hillary Clinton & Bill Clinton – Married For 46 Years

Many are aware of how Bill and Hillary Clinton have survived one of the most challenging marriage trials. But perhaps only a few know how their relationship started. It’s adorable, just imagining how the former president of the United States turned red after his cover of “faking a class registry” was blown.

Bill recounted that the first time he met Hillary at Yale, she wore no makeup, but she was oozing with strength and self-assurance that he was instantly attracted to her. They went for a walk to the art museum after, laughing and talking. It would take three marriage proposals later before Hillary would say yes.

Melania Trump & Donald Trump – Married For 16 Years

Donald Trump, the former United States President, and first lady Melania Trump have been in a relationship since 1998. At that time, Melania was a rising star in the modeling world, and during one of the New York Fashion Week parties, something sparked. Eventually, after seven years, the couple were married.

Their relationship is actual proof that the age barrier doesn’t matter, as Donald is 23 years older than Melania. Though the duo had many ups and downs in their relationship, they have a strong foundation that has lasted for 16 years.

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.
