Geddy Lee has been married to the same woman since 1976.
Their son is a PhD.

I always like hearing about musicians who stay married. Charlie Watts (Rolling Stones) has been married to the same woman for over 50 years. I think that's incredible.

PP and I am borderline obsessed with LT rocker marriages.

John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin married in 1967

Jack Blades of Night Ranger and Damn Yankees: married in 1977

Maybe my fave couple: Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo: 1982

That is incredible considering their lifestyles. My fave is U2’s Bono and his wife Ali. They were high school sweethearts in Dublin (1982).

PP. Robert Plant had children by his wife AND one child by his wife's SISTER. He had been divorced from his wife, so this was his ex SIL.

This is a great thread and 99% of these facts I did not know! Everyone knows the Steve Buscemi firefighter thing, y'all. I don't read People.

Awesome!
Also, the incomparable Debbie Harry (Lead singer for Blondie!) is also adopted.
As well as Nicole Ritchie.

Yes, I knew already that Pete Davidson’s Father died in 9/11.
He makes jokes about it on occasion.

I consider Steve Jobs to be the poster child of adopted children in the sense of his technical and business mastery. He was missing a little on the human side, sadly.

Bono fact--since "Bono" was a nickname developed when he was a teen, everyone in his personal life, including his wife, calls him Bono. He lamented when his father passed away, he was one of the last people who knew him as Paul.

I had no idea that Cameron Diaz and Nicole Ritchie were sisters-in-law. Cameron’s husband, Benji Madden, is the twin brother of Nicole’s husband, Joel.


Maybe that’s common knowledge?

Love stunning and mega-talented Pat Benatar!

Did you know she trained as a coloratura (rarest type of opera singer—those super high notes that go up and down like a butterfly)?

Most, if not all of these, have kept their family life private. Coincidence?
