Way to totally miss point. It’s insane that a successful woman has to pay this absolute joke of a man money to stay off coke. He is a father. And you’re justifying this. It shouldn’t be Nicole’s responsibility for him to act even like a halfway decent dad.

YYMV but I expect more from men. It’s possible not to settle and end up with a loser ladies!

That's what the experience of rich and famous Hollywood women suggests. Please name one who ended up with an absolute gem of a husband. I can only think of Barbra Streisand and Goldie Hawn for women in their 70s. Younger than that, I'm coming up with nothing.

Not a big star but Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinz Jr. I guess, Kelly Ripa too. I’m not sure how because I cannot stand her.

Good job coming up with two! Seriously.

DP. There are a lot more. I can think of ten more at the top of my head starting with Tom Hanks:Rita Wilson and Courtney Vance/Angela Bassett.

I i dont think tom and Rita have a great marriage. Chat said there's issues there

There's issues in every marriage. It's how you handle those issues that determines if the marriage will survive and thrive.

Courtney Vance/Angela Bassett
Bruce Springstein/Patty Scalfier
Kevin Bacon/Kyra Sedgwick
Lisa Rinna/Harry Hamlin (yuck on Rinna, but Harry loves it)
Faith Hill/Tim McGraw
Sara Jessica Parker/Matthew Broderick
Harrison Ford/Carlista Flockhart
David Kelly/Michelle Pfiffer
Mary Steenburger/Ted Danson
Will Smith/Jada Pinkett
Tom Hanks/Rita Wilson

Matt Damon has a thing where he likes to sleep with a new woman in every city he’s in…. Or maybe it’s country.whatever, his wife might very well be happy, but they have aan untraditional arrangement. They are not playing by the typical rules us commoners play by.

And you know this for sure?

There was also a longstanding rumor that they would swing with the Thor actor and his wife. Which makes sense tbh! For a while they were photographed together all the time, but that seems to have fizzled. Anyway, if you have no power in the relationship you're pretty much forced to tolerate whatever the other person wants, if you can stand it. The marriage certainly changed her life.

We don't. Of course it's all speculation. Just naming some longer unions. This is the entertainment forum. It's all speculation about celebrities and not that serious..

I think a lot of celebrities who have stayed together do have open marriages or have weathered affairs. Doesn’t mean they aren’t happy, but probably had their share of ups and downs that they’re not sharing in today show interviews and such.

I also think there are a lot of non-celebrities who are married long time, but who are just not happy. Stay together for finances or whatever. It is really a financial struggle to divorce for a lot of people and celebs don’t have that factor if they’re doing well financially.

Bon Jovi is a big time cheater who doesn't hide it. Many non-famous women stay married to their famous husbands solely for the lifestyle, even when they are very publicly known as cheaters. Who knows if these are happy and loving marriages, but it doesn't seem like it. Better to be married to a discreet cheater, or better yet, a faithful man.

Yep. I actually stopped watching the Jon Bon Jovi documentary recently cause he was just so freaking proud of this fact that he’s had so many women while he’s been married. It was just a turn off for me.

Dave Grohl - I was not surprised that he cheated on his wife, but having a baby outside of the marriage was too messy.

Its so weird. Not everyone thrives in that environment. I rather then they figure it out now and not take someone else's spot like the full house daughter

Yes, works best when big celebrities marry nobodies who hold down the fort.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

Was going to add them. Also MJ Fox and Tracy Pollan.

But it's true, there aren't many. I'm not adding them to say it's typical; I think all these couples are exceptions. Most celebrity marriages don't last. And they usually don't last very long.

Also, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick
