16 Celebrity Couples Who Proved Life’s Struggles Can’t Ruin True Love

Marriage and divorce statistics in the world are pretty sad — people are rarely getting married, and they split up more often. While this might mean that people start to forget what love is or that this feeling isn’t considered very important anymore, we strongly believe that this is not true.

We at Bright Side decided to show, with the example of well-known strong couples, that this statement is false. They’ve been together and shared all the good and bad that have happened on their life path for a long time.
