This dynamic duo met in 1993 at a dinner party hosted by “Sir” Elton John (yes, he was anointed the title by the late queen herself). Furnish, the Canadian producer — who also directed a 1997 documentary about Elton John — and Elton got engaged and entered a civil union in 2005.
Nine years later, in 2014, the same year that same-sex marriages were legalized in Britain, Elton and David got married. The two have also worked on various projects together, including 2011’s “Gnomeo & Juliet.” What are entertainment industry norms and legal precedents for a couple who is madly in love?
John Travolta and Kelly Preston
Hitting our screens with some knee-dropping, toe-tapping, and electric dance moves, the star of 'Saturday Night Fever' is a Hollywood heavyweight, and the love of his life is just as grand. But back to their love story — John Travolta came across Kelly Preston on the set of "The Experts" in 1989. Although, like Toto's classic song, love wasn’t always on time.
She happened to be married, and they happened to be filming The Experts together. . . Long story short, she divorced that very year and married Travolta in 1991. The couple had many happy years together, but in 2020 Preston sadly passed away, leaving Travolta heartbroken.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
The stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones shocked the world when she and Michael Douglas announced their engagement. The Welsh beauty has taken the leading lady role in many films, from 'Entrapment' to 'The Mask of Zorro'. And Michael Douglas, well, his reputation precedes him – we really don’t have to list his slew of films!
Decades later, the pair have two kids together and have earned a lavish lifestyle. Cheers to that! Now, they are still gushing. When the couple showed up at the 2022 SAG awards, in honor of Michael Douglas’s best actor nomination for the Netflix "The Kominsky Method", they simply doted over each other.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
These love birds met on the set of "The Fantastic Four" movie and have been inseparable ever since. While the movie is not very well-remembered by diehard fans of the original comic books, we are sure Alba doesn't regret it one bit. When they celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, fans adored their gushy posts to each other.
They still seem to be just as in love as they were when they got married. In 2017 they hit yet another milestone: the birth of their third child, their son, Hayes. Now their two little girls have a brother to bring and lil' yang into the mix.
Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy
These A-list actors met in an NYC theater company. Although they hit it off, they took it very slow and dated for fifteen years before they finally got married. Years later, they're still going strong. Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy. For 'Shameless' star Macy, this is the second marriage after his first only lasted five years. For 'Desperate Housewives' star Huffman, this is the first and only.
Even in times of great controversy, they stand by and strengthen each other. Like with the notorious College Admissions Scandal - Huffman had to spend a few weeks in prison, and her husband would come to visit her every chance he got.
