Celebrities are often said to be incapable of commitment and constantly jumping from bed to bed - simply because they can and are sought after as sexual partners simply because of their prominence. But not all celebrities take advantage of this opportunity.Some celebrities have been in happy relationships since their youthand have no need at all. Yes, there should be that too. See for yourself!
In good times and bad: These 8 celebrities are still together with their childhood sweethearts
Of course, we don't know what happens behind the closed doors of the celebrities listed here (that would be even nicer!), but to the outside world at least the facade is maintained as if the couples are still happy even after many years of being together. Oh, nice!
1. Snoop Dogg and his high school sweetheart Shante Broadus
Rappers in particular are said to not think too much of loyalty, to be sexist and to reduce women primarily to their appearance. And let’s not kid ourselves: in many cases, that’s exactly how it is. But of course we know that you can never lump everyone together, and so one of the most famous rappers of all is the perfect example that there are exceptions: Snoop Dogg. He married his high school sweetheart Shante Taylor in 1997 (their first son was born in 1994) and is still with her today. However, things can't have been perfect between the two of them over the years. On the one hand, the two divorced in 2004, but renewed their marriage in 2008, which has lasted ever since. And apart from their three children, Snoop also has a son with Laurie Holmond, who was born in 1998, which means: Snoop Dogg couldn't have been completely faithful in his marriage either...

2. Bono and his former school friend Alison Hewson
In addition to his position as the frontman of U2, who probably(closely followed by Coldplay), Bono is known above all as someone who wants to make the world a better place - actually a very good idea. But the 64-year-old has also been with his wife for many decades: Alison Hewson. They both attended the same school and met when Bono was just 13 years old (Alison is a year younger). They had their first dates when they were 15 and got married in their early twenties - that was in 1982. Bono and Ali have been married for more than 42 years. And there have been no scandals, affairs or the like (as far as we know). And someone else says that Bono still hasn't found what he has been looking for.
3. Jon Bon Jovi and his high school sweetheart Dorothea Hurley
Like Snoop Dogg, Jon Bon Jovi met and fell in love with his future wife in high school. Funnily enough, this happened because she gave him tutoring lessons because, unlike him, she was a very good student. After they both graduated, they moved in together, got married in Los Angeles in 1989 during a short tour break for his band Bon Jovi (he briefly flew to Las Vegas with Dorothea) and the couple subsequently had a total of four children (a daughter , three sons).? Absolutely non-existent. Job Bon Jovi once sang: “You give love a bad name!” He can hardly have meant his still-wife.
4. Eva Padberg and her high school sweetheart Niklas Worgt
The German model Eva Padberg also seems to be an absolutely loyal soul. Although she has only been married since 2006, she had been together with her husband Niklas Worgt for ten years before that. Eva Padberg was just 14 years old when she fell in love with him - that was three decades ago this year. However, the couple only had their first daughter together in 2019, when the two had already been together for 25 years.
5. LL Cool J and his wife Simone Johnson-Smith
A rapper who also doesn't fit the cliché is hip-hop legend LL Cool J, who we recently met for this reason, among other thingshad. He already demonstrated in 1987 that he is not the typical rapper and that he knows something about loveI Need Lovereleased the first rap ballad ever. And his current wife Simone Johnson-Smith probably took this need as an opportunity to date James Todd Smith (LL Cool J's real name). Although LL later dated one of Quincy Jones's daughters for a while, Simone ultimately won the race, with whom he has been married since 1995 without any scandals and has four children.
6. Samuel L. Jackson and his college girlfriend LaTanya Richardson Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson and his wife LaTanya are said to have met in Atlanta in the 1960s when both were still students - although not at the same universities. The two became a couple in 1974 and then married in 1980. So Samuel and LaTanya have been together for fifty years! Wow.
7. Elizabeth Banks and her college sweetheart Max Handelman
Actress Elizabeth Banks met her now-husband Max Handelman on her first day of college when she was just 18 years old. That was in 1992. After eleven years of relationship, the two got married in 2003 and a few years later the two had their two sons in 2011 and 2012. Elizabeth and Max can now look back on a 32-year relationship.
8. Jeff Daniels and his high school friend Kathleen Treado
Jeff Daniels and his future wife Kathleen Treado fell in love as teenagers while they were still going to school together in Michigan. What began as a childhood love turned into a marriage in 1979 that has lasted for 45 years and is also absolutely scandal-free. There's not much more to say about marriage, except perhaps: Chapeau!
