longest celebrity relationships in Hollywood that prove that love can last

Meryl Streep and Don Gummer: 43 years

Meryl Streep, the most Oscar-nominated actor ever, met Don Gummer, in 1978 just six months after her first husband passed away from lung cancer.

Streep and Gummer have had four children together. They don't discuss their marriage too often, but he did get a special shout-out when Meryl took home the Oscar for best actress in 2012.

"First I'm going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you've given me," she said.
