Together, they have two children, Patrick and Maggie, the latter of whom is making waves as a talented country singer.

Lesly, a former model, may have stepped back from the spotlight to focus on family but occasionally joins Pat at public events. With decades of marriage under their belts, they remain one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, charming fans with their low-key yet enviable bond.

Julia Roberts and Danny Moder – Together Since 2002

Hollywood’s sweetheart Julia Roberts and cinematographer Danny Moder prove that love can bloom behind the camera. Sparks flew in 2000 on the set of ”The Mexican,” where Julia starred, and Danny worked as a cameraman.

By 2002, the pair tied the knot in a private New Mexico ceremony. They share three children—Hazel, Phinnaeus, and Henry—and prefer keeping their family life away from the spotlight. Julia, known for her dazzling roles in ”Pretty Woman” and ”Erin Brockovich,” often credits Danny for bringing balance to her life. Meanwhile, Danny’s cinematography on projects like Secret in ”Their Eyes” has earned him acclaim, making them one of Hollywood’s most enduring low-key power couples.

Elena, now a fashion designer and founder of the Moussa Project, keeps a low profile but occasionally shares glimpses of their stylish, globe-trotting life. While Greg entertains viewers with his sharp humor on ”The Five” and ”Gutfeld!,” Elena brings a sophisticated flair to their partnership, making them a power couple with an understated edge.

Despite her global renown, J.K. and Neil lead a relatively private life, splitting their time between their Scottish estate and London. Their partnership is a tale of love, support, and a shared appreciation for a life rooted in family.

Robert Redford and Sibylle Szaggars – Together Since 1996
