While Jason and Brittany Aldean have been married for nine years, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been together for twelve. Numerous well-known pairs have discovered various strategies for ensuring their partnerships endure throughout time.
Stars who got married 12 and 9 years ago, respectively, like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Jason and Brittany Aldean, have managed to maintain the romance. These celebs amaze their significant others with endearing romantic gestures.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, as well as Jason and Brittany Aldean, maintain their marriages in different ways.
Brittany and Jason Aldean
In September 2014, Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean declared their engagement. A few months later, in March 2015, they were married in a ceremony held in Mexico. Following their marriage, Jason and his spouse have welcomed two more children: a daughter named Navy and a son named Memphis. Jason’s previous marriage produced two older daughters, Keeley and Kendyl.
With four children, the pair has hectic lives, yet they still manage to maintain a romantic spark in their relationship. They were spotted laughing, sipping wine and beer, and enjoying several rides during their recent exciting day at Disneyland in California.
He said to Fox News Digital in May 2024, “We’re a team, and we kind of deal with everything together as a team, whether it be… stuff that’s going on with me or stuff that’s going on with her.” “You know, we depend a lot on each other for a lot of the different business things that we have.”
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
The 2011 film “Green Lantern” starred Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds opposite one another, which is how they originally got together. The couples hold a particular place in their hearts for the film even though it was unanimously criticized by critics and viewers since it helped them find each other.
The pair went on to get married in September 2012, and have since welcomed four children together; James, 9, Inez, 7, Betty, 4, and Olin, 1. Lively recently talked about how Reynolds made her feel unique on their first few dates in an interview.
“When my husband and I first got together, he would send me a bouquet of flowers every week,” Lively told People in August. “He would always send a card and it would just be a sentence of something that had happened that week – something funny or emotional that one of us said.”
George and Amal Clooney
George shared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” that he would write Amal love letters early in their relationship.
George Clooney married Amal Clooney in September 2014. The couple now share twins, Alexander and Ella, who were born in 2017.
During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in October 2022, George revealed he met Amal after a friend set them up, telling him “there’s a girl coming to your house that you’re gonna marry.” Although he didn’t believe his friend, he and Amal instantly hit it off.
“And then comes Amal, and we stayed up all night talking, and then I started writing her a bunch of letters,” he told Barrymore. “We still write letters. We leave them on the pillow.”
Barrymore was left swooning over the romantic gesture, and was further enamored as George described surprising Amal with an orchestra while working on scoring a movie at the famous Abbey Road in London.
Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen
Danson shared that he and Steenburgen have a cup of coffee together every morning.
Despite having initially met in 1983, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen did not begin dating until ten years later, when they reconnected on the set of the 1994 film “Pontiac Moon.” When the two got married in October 1995, they officially began their relationship. Danson couldn’t help but gushe over his wife when talking to Country Living in May 2024 about their approaching 28th anniversary. He told the publication, “We’re very much in love, very lucky, very blessed.”
Over the course of their nearly three-decade marriage, the couple have come to realize how lucky they are to have found each other, with Danson saying, “We celebrate it all the time.” When it comes to making sure they stay connected, Danson explained it’s all about spending time together.
“Even when we have a 6:00 pickup call, we will set our alarms for 4:30 so that we can have two cups of coffee in bed, and play Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections – the New York Times games,” he explained. “We team up, we don’t compete. We’re two aging brains who join together and we’re really smart. We’re geniuses, together.”
Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy
McCarthy and Wahlberg renew their vows every year.
When Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg first appeared together on “Watch What Happens Live” in 2012, sparks flew. They also flew when Wahlberg paid a surprise visit to McCarthy’s radio program in March 2013. They made their red carpet debut together shortly after the interview, and in April 2014, they announced their engagement. August of that year was their wedding month, and they celebrate their anniversary year by renewing their vows to one another.
“I used to make fun of celebrities when they would do it, or people in general, when they renew their vows,” she told Kelly Ripa on her “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast. “I’m like, ‘That’s so corny and weird. Your wedding’s over. Just stay married,’ and then Donnie – this is a tradition Donnie wanted to implement.”
“He’s like, ‘I want to remind each other of our vows’ and talk about – like our pastor reminisces about the year and gives us a thing to think about as the year goes on,” she continued. “So, there is something nice about it.”
