They met in 2004 while shooting the sitcom “Hope & Faith,” and began dating despite the 12-year age difference. Though they got engaged in November of 2006, they ended it about 2 and a half years later in 2009. They soon decided to make another go of it, however, and got married in Hawaii in 2010. Then in 2015, Fox filed for divorce . . . but by 2016 they were back together again. Here’s hoping it stays that way this time!

It’s not often that you get someone just as successful in their band as they are in their solo career. But Collins made it happen, first with the band Genesis and later on his own with hits like “In the Air Tonight.” He was less successful in the marriage department, with multiple broken marriages and engagements until he met Orianne Cevey of Switzerland, who first worked as his translator. After getting hitched and having two kids, they divorced in 2008, and Collins had to pay the enormous settlement of £25 million to Cevey. In 2016, after “a few bits of darkness,” as the singer and drummer puts it, he made amends with Cevey and moved back in with her.

After meeting at the 2001 X Games and dating for four years, it was Pink that proposed to Hart during one of his races using a pit board. The two married soon after in 2006. Despite the romantic start, the couple quickly ran into trouble and separated two years later. However, the two began dating again in 2009, with Hart explaining: “Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps back to move forward.” After some marriage counselling, the two have been happily together and have even appeared together in several music videos.
#1: Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor
This is one of those epic Hollywood love stories so captivating that it’s on our list decades after the fact. The forbidden affair that led to them divorcing their respective spouses was huge news at the time, and they decided to marry in 1964. During their marriage, they lived a luxurious lifestyle and starred in 11 movies together. However, the “marriage of the century” (as it was called) was turbulent, and ended in. Just 16 months after their first divorce, they decided to get hitched again, though the second attempt lasted less than a year. Unlike the other couples on our list, this couple ended up breaking up for good after all - but according to Taylor, their love for each other never really died.
