Ron & Cheryl Howard | 51 years

Ron Howard has achieved many things in his career as a Hollywood actor and director, but he hasn’t been on that beautiful journey alone. Throughout the past four decades, the iconic star has had the love and support of his wife, Cheryl.

In 1975, the award-winning actor walked down the aisle with his high school sweetheart. From there, the celebrity pair have kept their bond strong. They subsequently became the proud parents of four kids: daughter Bryce Dallas, twins Jocelyn and Paige, and their youngest child, son Reed. Even though the celebrity duo is as happy as can be, keeping a solid marriage of more than 40 years doesn’t just happen overnight. Fortunately, the twosome has found the secret behind their lasting romance: communication. The Da Vinci Code director gave constant “communication in constructive ways” credit for being the key to making their love last. The couple keeps defying the Hollywood odds up until today.
