How often do we see celebrity couples that last a lifetime? The world of glamour can also be harsh and ruthless, taking a toll on human relationships. It is very common for stars to lose their sense of self and cut down connections because of the intense pressure of stardom.
Here are some celebrity couples who chose to stand by each other no matter what and gave us some serious relationship goals:

It is easy for someone to say they will follow you into the dark but this couple has lived up to their promise. Richards and Hansen have been together for more than three decades now and are still going strong. “Keith saved me,” says Hansen who has gone through some really dark times. Richards has always been supportive and tried to instill their lives with positive energy.
