Building a strong relationship that will last for ages is not an easy thing to do. More than the love or the sparks, both sides have to put in so much effort and work to make the relationship last and to grow together.

That's why a lot of people look admirably at all those happy old couples we see. A lot of us think, "That's the kind of relationship or love that we want, one that lasts until we're old and gray."

We just have to admit, long-lasting marriages are not so common nowadays, especially in the celebrity world. One day, the couple you've been vying for might get married and look so happy in love that a few months down the line, they can get divorced or be involved in this huge scandal.

Sometimes, we are even hesitant to root for relationships in Hollywood because they just seem so fragile. And well, our hearts get a little bit broken too when they break up.

Thankfully, there are exceptions. There are women celebs who have managed to keep their love with their partners strong throughout the years.

They keep the hope for love and long-lasting relationships alive for us. Here are these amazing women.
