Successful relationships aren't exactly the norm in Hollywood, but some of our favorite
celebs have been very lucky in love.
So what's the secret to wedded bliss?
Well, for these A-listers, it's having a fierce, smart, and supportive woman in their corner
through thick and thin!
Luciana Barroso
If you don't recognize Matt Damon's wife, Luciana, from the silver screen, that's because
the Argentine beauty isn't an actress.
Barroso and her famous hubby met back in 2003 while he was filming Stuck On You, in Miami.
Damon recalled the couple's fateful first encounter on Ellen in 2011, which happened
after friends dragged him out to a bar where Barroso was bartending.
"I literally saw her across a crowded room."
"Eight years and four kids later, that's my life."
Beth Stern
Howard Stern is no stranger to drama.
The radio host and America's Got Talent judge has been at the center of his fair share of
scandals, including getting fined by the FCC for almost $500,000 back in 2004, after speaking
graphically of a then-famous Paris Hilton tape.
But one thing Stern has managed to keep out of the tabloids is his relationship with his
wife, Beth, an actress and Pennsylvania-native who he began dating back in 2000.
The couple married in New York City eight years later during a star-studded celebration
that, according to People, included the late Joan Rivers, Barbra Walters, Billy Joel, Sarah
Silverman, and Jimmy Kimmel.
Lauren Parsekian
For five glorious seasons, Aaron Paul played sidekick to the talented Bryan Cranston on
Breaking Bad.
But in real life, Paul's partner-in-crime is his gorgeous wife, Lauren.
The couple, who married in 2013, is never shy about showing a little PDA on the red
carpet, or on social media.
The actor gushed about his wife during a 2016 interview with Jimmy Kimmel, saying:
"We met at Coachella.
But we had our first kiss on a ferris wheel at Coachella."
"There you go."
Lauren is also a dedicated philanthropist.
She co-founded Kind Campaign, which strives to be "a movement, documentary and school
program...that brings awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl
crime."
Hilaria Baldwin
In 2012, Alec Baldwin married his yoga teacher, Hilaria, and the two have been going strong
ever since — even after adding three babies to the mix.
It was thanks to his beautiful wife that Baldwin is now in the best shape of his life.
In her book, The Living Clearly Method, Hilaria explains that her husband was experiencing
some serious health issues when they first met.
She wrote, "After years of eating out, eating late, and eating too much, he'd fallen into
some bad habits without realizing it...I quietly watched what he ate, only mentally jotting
down my secret wish list of what I'd tell him if he asked."
According to People, after discovering he was near pre-diabetic level, Hilaria helped
her man adopt much healthier habits.
Elsa Pataky
From his piercing blue eyes to his chiseled biceps, there's no denying Chris Hemsworth
is one handsome Aussie.
So it really comes as no surprise that his wife, Elsa, is just as stunning.
The fit beauty — who is actually seven years older than Hemsworth — recently graced the
cover of Spanish Elle and her proud hubby took to Instagram to share his support with
this sweet photo.
Off the red carpet, this celeb couple is just like the rest of us, enjoying horse riding
and trips to the beach with their three kids, Tristan, India Rose, and, Sasha.
Lauren Morelli
As the world fell in love with Samira Wiley on Orange Is the New Black, Lauren Morelli,
a writer-producer for the hit Netflix show, was conjuring up some romantic feelings of
her own.
Back in 2014, Lauren, who was then married to Steve Basilone, penned an essay explaining
that writing for the show helped her understand her sexual identity.
She wrote, "I realized I was gay in fall 2012, one of my first days on the set.
It wasn't so much one thing, but the sum of many small details."
Her love story with Wiley began shortly after, and the two were married during a fairytale
wedding in Palm Springs three years later.
Tana Ramsay
You may know Gordon Ramsay as the ill-tempered celebrity chef from shows like Hell's Kitchen
and MasterChef.
But off-camera, life for the 50-year-old Londoner seems a bit more loving.
Ramsay has been married to his wife, English cookbook author Tana, since 1996.
These two truly embody "through good times and bad," sticking together through cheating
scandals and even a devastating miscarriage.
And it seems like these days the two are closer than ever.
Ramsay said of the devastating loss of their fifth child, "It has brought us all so much
closer.
You realize how lucky you are and you reflect on what you have, how fortunate you are with
your remaining children and you remind yourself of what you’ve got.
It’s made the family unit even tighter."
Ayesha Curry
There's no doubt NBA superstar Stephen Curry has millions of fans all over the world.
But his biggest supporter is definitely his wife, Ayesha.
Curry told Parents magazine,
"I do like a little sign and I kinda smack my tattoo right before the game and she does
the same, just.a little something."
But it definitely wasn't all butterflies and rainbows from the beginning.
Ayesha told People, "He was the cute boy at church that all of the girls were obsessed
with, so I made a generalization that maybe he wasn't for me."
She finally accepted a date with him over Facebook.
She told the mag, "He was so funny and silly...the absolute opposite of what I thought he was
going to be."
When she's not cheering-on her hubby courtside, Ayesha can be found playing mom to their two
daughters.
And besides authoring multiple cookbooks, Mrs. Curry also has her own cooking show on
Food Network.
Caroline Boyer
If you're a fan of country music, then there are probably a few Luke Bryan songs on your
playlist.
And we can't help but wonder if any of his hits have been inspired by his beautiful wife,
Caroline.
Even after 10 years of marriage, the singer told Good Housekeeping, "It was love at first
sight with Caroline — those blue eyes of hers...I knew that, no matter what, I was
going to make my way over to her."
Livia Firth
If there's one Hollywood couple who gives us major relationship goals, it's got to be
Colin Firth and his leading lady, Livia.
Even though the two are European, Firth told Ellen they met in Colombia:
"We met in Colombia.
We met in Cartagena, which is a staggeringly beautiful city."
"And I saw her coming thru the crowd, and that was it.
It was a bolt to the heart."
The Bridget Jones' Baby star and his film producer wife have been married since 1997,
and have two sons, Lucas and Mateo.
