A relationship that started with a letter ended in a lifetime of romance. The couple started dating in 2011, and despite the 10-year age gap, they quickly hit it off.

They obviously can’t keep their hands off of each other—that is how in love they are. A source even said Kris is delighted by his current romance. They are even happier knowing they have each other. Despite the negative talk about them, Kris and Ashley will continue dating and doing what makes them the happiest.

Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian

It looks like Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian are really meant for each other. After a scandalous breakup, the two are officially back together, and their daughter, True Thompson, is truly the happiest. After their controversial split in 2019, the couple was surrounded by a lot of rekindled romance rumors.
They were seen together on a number of occasions and even lived with one another while co-parenting their kid. No one believed they were only amicable until Khloé finally gave in. In a post on Instagram, the reality star shared they had been through a lot of things designed to break them apart, but they came out much stronger.

They grew up becoming more mature and ended up marrying each other in 2016. Michael and Nicole worked out on themselves before they fully committed to a much serious relationship. They invested in themselves even more, and helped each other become better people to a certain degree. The couple took advantage of their time apart to fully appreciate one another.

The couple has been together for more than a decade. However, they don’t just have years to boast. The two have gone through a lot of ups and downs together. Amidst all the controversies and trials that have emerged, the couple was able to stay strong. More importantly, they have stayed together. This is one union that had been tested over time. I think we can all agree that this couple is shatterproof.

TONY PARKER & AXELLE FRANCINE

Tony Parker is probably one of the most amazing players in professional basketball. He holds quite an impressive record. For one, he was named the 2007 NBA Final’s Most Valuable Player. Keeping an incredible record inside the court was not easy, of course. It needed a lot of time and practice outside of actual plays. This meant Tony needed to balance his time with other things to a degree — not an easy feat. Despite that, we can say he has been trying his best. It’s also a good thing that he has a loving and understanding partner during times like these. Axelle Francine tied the knot with the player in 2014. While she has been keeping a low profile, we do know two things about her. One, she is a journalist. Two, while she’s not that into PDA, her love and support for the player are evident.

She has been a very loving and supportive partner to Bosh. Time and time again, she has proven that she’ll be loyal to him no matter what. Before they got to their happily ever after, the player faced some problems with his former partner. Despite this, Williams stayed on and didn’t pull out her investments in the relationship.

Aside from being a great wrestler, Khali was and currently is an even greater lover. To be fair, his wife, Harminder Kaur, appears to be an equally loving partner. With everything that the wrestler has had to face, Kaur stayed put and continued supporting him. The couple doesn’t only have their years to brag.

We wouldn’t be too surprised if they have top-notch home security systems at home!
It is also important to note that over the years, Madden has received a significant amount of backlash and has been called many names due to her relationship with the much older Erving. This is why we think she deserves a gold medal for powering through it all and maintaining a harmonious marriage.

TYSON CHANDLER & KIMBERLY CHANDLER

When it comes to lasting marriages, Tyson and Kimberly Chandler’s is a great example. In 2015, to celebrate ten years of their union, the couple even renewed their vows. When they got married the first time, the couple was quite young. The then 22 and 23-year-old had been dating for five years before they decided that marriage was something they truly wanted for themselves. Chandler was only four years into his career back then. It wasn’t easy for the couple, given the demands of the job but they made things work.
Of course, Kimberly was busy with her own business as well. She isn’t the type to enjoy being in the spotlight, even if she is constantly followed by photographers everywhere she goes. She doesn’t focus on that, and instead, all of her efforts and investment planning is devoted to her family—especially her two children, Sacha-Marie and Tyson II.

REGGIE MILLER & LAURA LASKOWSKI

It’s been years since Reggie Miller retired, but fans remain curious about the former baller’s personal life. He has been dating Laura Laskowski for years now, but the couple has always maintained their privacy when it comes to their relationship. They may not be married, but these two have proven just how strong their bond is over the years. Fans are given glimpses of their family life every now and then on social media, too. The couple has three children together, Ryker, Lennox, and their youngest who was born in January 2021.
What could be the secret when it comes to their lasting marriage? It could be the fact that they prefer to steer clear of publicity and simply enjoy the company of their family. Whatever it may be, this couple deserves much credit for staying together despite the good and the bad.

ISIAH THOMAS & LYNN KENDALL

Isiah Thomas and his wife Lynn Kendall have been married for over two decades, and are still going strong. Of course, no marriage is without its fair share of challenges. In fact, this pair has weathered issues that could have easily broken other relationships apart. They were wed back in 1985, but the two first met while they were enrolled at Indiana University. Even back then, the bond between them had always been strong and only grew stronger with time. Kendall was beside Thomas when he received his four-year contract with the Pistons.
He then proposed to her just three years after and as luck would have it, he was also offered a decade-long contract with the same team that was worth $12 million. While it is true that both are great at money management, they deserve the most praise for how they handled every challenge that came their way.

PAUL PIERCE & JULIE PIERCE

The couple, Paul Pierce and Julie Pierce, is an inseparable pair. She, along with their kids, is always on hand and ready to provide support during his games. Win or lose, you know they will be cheering for him. This is quite impressive, considering Julie also runs her own business and is a renowned interior designer. They began dating in 2005, during the All-Star Weekend, but already knew each other for quite a while. In interviews, the basketball star recalled that it wasn’t long after they started dating that they also moved in together. He never fails to compliment her, too!
The degree of love between the two is certainly palpable. They currently have three young children, and they serve as the couple’s inspiration to keep preserving and maintain the harmony of their union. We certainly wish them well in the future!

JALEN ROSE & MOLLY QERIM

Jalen Rose’s better half is just as formidable as he is, whether it be on or off the court. Molly Qerim graduated with a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Quinnipiac University. This is how she landed a spot as an anchor and reported for the CBS Sports Network, before becoming an ESPN anchor. It may have been quite the journey, but ever since Qerim and Rose met, the two have been stuck together like glue. They got married in a private ceremony in 2018 and have always kept mum about their relationship. However, Rose did come to his wife’s rescue after she received uncouth comments from another athlete.
They might be one of the newer couples on our list, but Rose and Qerim are already proving that their relationship is for keeps. We don’t doubt that many young couples also look up to them when it comes to marriage matters.

RUSSELL WILSON & CIARA

The pair, football star Russell Wilson and Grammy-winner Ciara, is certainly one of the most high-profile couples on our list. While this may be so, these two are making sure that they always put their family first before their personal careers. Perhaps, this is how they have managed to maintain a strong bond despite being in the spotlight. The couple first met in 2015, and just a month after, they went public with their relationship. They secretly got married in 2016 and have kept the same level of privacy throughout their marriage.
They have three children, including one from Ciara’s previous marriage. The couple might be young, but they already have their minds set on investment planning for the future of their kids. Among their most recent business ventures is establishing their own production company called Why Not You Productions. Needless to say, their priorities are on the right track.

AMAR’E STOUDEMIRE & ALEXIS WELCH

The couple first met at a party hosted by rapper Nelly. Amar’e Stoudemire and Alexis Welch were both only 19 years old at the time and were fresh out of high school. Other than graduating, Stoudemire had also plenty to celebrate about. He was a first-round NBA draft pick for the Phoenix Suns. It might have been a party, but these two only had eyes for each other. In an interview, Stoudemire confessed that what they had was a real conversation—about their future plans, their life, and their families.
The two dated for years before they wed in 2012. It was a private ceremony attended by friends, family, and his fellow NBA players. Since then, they have had four children. At present, Stoudemire is retired from basketball and now works as a producer and actor. Thanks to his hard work, none of his kids would ever have to worry about student loans.

RAY ALLEN & SHANNON WALKER WILLIAMS

Former basketball athlete Ray Allen certainly has plenty to be thankful for. Not only did he enjoy a successful career in the NBA, with plenty of achievements to his name, but he also has the support of his loving family. Allen has spoken about all the lessons he has learned in the years he and Shannon Walker Williams have been together. The most important of which, he says, is that one doesn’t just find a great marriage. It is something that the people involved need to constantly make investments in and create as they go along.
Like any other marriage, the two have had their fair share of challenges. Some, unfortunately, were even made public. However, what sets them apart is how they handled everything. Today, they are stronger than ever and are parents to four sons. Allen also has one daughter with his former partner, Rosalind Ramsey.

GRANT HILL & TAMIA

Grant Hill and his wife Tamia are on their 22nd year of marriage, and things are as sweet as ever between them. They had a big celebration for their 21st anniversary back in 2020, showing off how strong their bond has become over the years. It certainly had everyone on social media longing for love as beautiful as theirs. The couple has two lovely daughters together, Lael Rose and Myla Grace. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the two admitted to being clueless parents when they welcomed Myla!
The two first met in 1996, back when Tamia was still active as a singer. Just three years after their initial meeting, the two were wed. Their love story is certainly inspiring and both have remained deeply committed to each other while maintaining their individual careers. The degree of love they share is certainly a goal for many.
