Stephen Barlow & Joanna Lumley – Together Since 1986

Stephen Barlow and Joanna Lumley continue to prove that celebrities can be in it for the long haul. The “Absolutely Fabulous” star first heard about Barlow when he was 13, and she was 21, but it would take about a decade before they would officially meet. Their first meeting didn’t lead to anything, although Lumley already had feelings for the opera conductor at that point.

It was later after he’d been through a divorce, that the two eventually connected. They were married in 1986, and although they have no kids together, there’s no doubt they remain smitten by each other. Lumley appeared in a series titled “Motherland” in 2021.
