Marlo Thomas & Phil Donahue – Married Since 1980
Phil Donahue found more than just fame and fortune hosting his eponymous talk show. That’s because it was also through it that he met his wife, the actress Marlo Thomas, in 1977. There’s even video evidence of their meet-cute, which is something not many celebrity couples can say they have!
They were wed three years later and raised Donahue’s five children from his previous marriage. With their union a resounding success, the pair published the book “What Makes A Marriage Last” in 2020. It’s chock full of advice from their famous fellow couples and might just be what regular couples need if they’re after marriage counseling.
