Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower’s relationship is the definition of taking it slow. The two started their relationship in the 80s in a London nightclub, but they didn’t even start dating then. It took them ten years to begin seeing each other and finally get married. Both of them are phenomenal actors who lived their lives constantly in front of a camera.
Their relationship encountered several bumps, with the first one being in 1999 when they almost went their separate ways. After almost 21 years of marriage, they decided it was best to separate for good. Still, they remain on good terms.
Salma Hayek Pinault and Francois Henri Pinault
François-Henri Pinault is a French billionaire who married his actress partner, Salma Hayek. Salma received a lot of backlash from haters since they didn't think they were a good match. They like to maintain their private life despite how exposed their lives are on social media.
The pair opted for two weddings: one rather intimate one with friends and family. While the other one was a lavish and star-studded night in Italy. Given that that was all the way back in 2009, it's safe to say that the couple did not pay any attention to the backlash they received, and they are clearly better off for it.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos met on the set of "All My Children," a soap opera about several families, their history together, and their connections with one another.

Patience, perseverance, and compromise are the three keys to a successful marriage, she concludes. They both have mutual love and respect for each other, which helps improve their relationship every day. Working together can't be easy for any couple, but by implementing these values, the pair makes it work.

The two met when Laura was his assistant for three years, and then they started dating for ten years. They, later on, developed their family and now live a happy and simple life. Woody says that he doesn't need much in life except a good home and his loving family.
