Celebrity marriages don't have the greatest track record.
They often start when two co-stars fall in love on the set, but they rarely make it in
the long run.
Fortunately for some stars, they were able to avoid the pitfalls of a high-profile love
connection (at least for a while), because they found love before they ever found fame.
Here are the celebrities who married their high school sweethearts.
Eminem
Eminem's rap lyrics have always been a shockingly open book, particularly when it comes to his
relationship with his ex-wife, Kim, who according to UPROXX, he met when they were young teenagers
and he was standing on a table, rapping LL Cool J's "I'm Bad."
But the pair actually tried to make it work twice.
After their initial divorce in 2001, they reconnected briefly in 2006, and married again
for four months.
Though the troubled couple has been through a lot, they managed to successfully co-parent
daughter Hailie, as well as Kim's daughter Whitney, and Kim's niece, Alaina.
So, is there a chance that the sparks could fly a third time?
Eminem told Rolling Stone,
"I would rather f-----g be on a coach flight with *NSYNC at the back of the plane in the
last row in them seats that don't go back.
[...] I would rather have a baby through my penis than get married again."
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton may be currently embroiled in a nasty child custody battle,
but their relationship hasn't always been such a mess.
According to E! News, the actress and the singer met in 1991 at an all-ages dance club,
when Patton was 15 and Thicke was 14.
Thicke told Oprah,
"We met a little bit at fourteen, dated a little bit, then she wouldn't talk to me for
a long time.
Then when we were sixteen we started dating again."
And about that first kiss, Patton told Glamour,
"He sang Jodeci's 'Forever My Lady' to me.
He did a full-out R&B onstage performance in his dad's living room.
Then he kissed me.
It worked!"
But by 2015, their divorce was finalized.
Thicke owned up to being responsible for the split, citing many reasons, and telling Hot
97,
"I changed, and I got a little too selfish, and a little too greedy and a little too full
of myself."
Snoop Dogg
Rapper Snoop Dogg married his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor in 1997.
He was already a rap legend by that point, having appeared all over Dr. Dre's debut album,
The Chronic, in '92, and his own acclaimed Doggystyle, in '93.
But after more than ten years of superstardom, Snoop let the highlife go to his head when
he walked out on his family and embraced the pimp life he'd always fantasized about.
"I dreamed of being a pimp like my whole life, like that was all I seen as a kid, was a n-----
with his nails done."
In 2004, Snoop filed for divorce, and was estranged from his family for months before
coming to his senses, telling MTV,
"I need my wife and my kids in my life — so I threw the papers away.
I don't want to get a divorce."
Amazingly, Shante let him come back, telling Sister 2 Sister she understood the pressure
and temptations of being an entertainer.
As of 2018, the couple is still going strong.
Joey Fatone
Joey Fatone and his wife, Kelly Baldwin Fatone, took more than a decade to get married despite
being on-and-off lovers for 14 years.
Fatone told People,
"We did everything backward.
We had a kid, we lived together, then we got married.
We did everything completely reversed and it worked!"
"I always wanted a family and now I have one.
S---!
Okay!"
[Laughter]
But it wasn't always easy.
Joey hit the big time with *NSYNC almost immediately out of high school, which meant Kelly got
to watch him become a sex symbol for every fangirl on the planet.
But Kelly told People,
"We've been together so long that I have an 'open door' policy.
I say, 'If something looks better to you, than there's the door.'"
The couple's understanding approach helped them weather years of cheating rumors, like
during Joey's run on Dancing With The Stars when everyone assumed he was stepping out
with his partner, Kym Johnson, and during the hype surrounding *NSYNC's one-time reunion
at the 2013 VMAs when reports actually surfaced that Joey left Kelly.
Still, the key to the couple's success seems to be a good sense of humor.
Fatone joked with CBS,
"When *NSYNC took a break and I stayed home, [Kelly] was like 'Can you get out and go get
a job and go do something?
I feel like you're on top of me.
Go do something!'"
Looks like they won't be saying "bye bye bye" to each other anytime soon.
Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi was already a rock megastar when he married Dorothea Hurley, who he met in
high school in New Jersey.
In 1989, they got hitched in Las Vegas, and began a successful, long-lasting marriage.
Bon Jovi told People,
"I'm the crazy visionary with all kinds of things flying, and the seams are all splitting.
She's the one following me with the glue and the thread and needle, keeping it all together."
According to the Mirror, he also credits his wife with helping him through a near mental
breakdown in 1991, and after Richie Sambora inexplicably left the band for good, in 2013.
Hurley also told People that they're a good match, saying,
"Somehow it works.
I think because we grow at the same rate.
We grew equally and not in opposite directions."
Solange Knowles
For a long time, Solange Knowles was tight-lipped about her marriage to Daniel Smith, her high
school sweetheart who she married at 17-years-old after becoming pregnant with their son, Julez
. Solange even moved to Idaho to be with Smith while he was in college, but the marriage
still only lasted two years.
After their split, Solange moved to LA where rumors circulated that she left Smith for
rapper Lil' Wayne.
But Knowles told People in 2007,
"Yes, we know each other but I absolutely did not leave my husband for him."
Years later, she told Harper's Bazaar,
"Just going through a marriage and a divorce — which I essentially did by 21 — will
give you an insane amount of perspective on life."
Solange is now happily remarried to video director Alan Ferguson.
Bono
The U2 frontman first courted his wife, Ali Hewson, while they attended school in Dublin
in 1976.
They married in 1982 when U2 was just starting to take off, and Ali was happy to take a backseat
to the fame.
She said,
"I am a very private person, so I've always let Bono take the brunt of anything that was
coming along.
He is happy to do that; I am quite happy to make my own way around things."
Bono gives all the credit for their relationship success to Ali, telling Babble,
"I married an extraordinary woman […] I hold on to her very tightly."
Their shared passion for philanthropy probably helps, too.
Bono's charitable efforts are well known, but Ali, who studied social science, politics
and sociology, has been heavily involved with Greenpeace, and the ONE Campaign, as well
as EDUN, the fashion line she created with Bono to encourage fair trade and production
in African markets.
Ron Howard
Ron Howard's wife, actress Cheryl Gay Alley, is not only the love of his life, she's also
his "good luck charm."
Howard told Live Happy that he cast Alley in his first movie, and she's been in every
one ever since.
Not only has Alley helped ensure the success of Howard's career on the screen, she coordinated
the family's many relocations over the years, so they could remain together no matter where
Howard was shooting.
But the key to keeping it all together was making time for each other.
Their daughter, actress Bryce Dallas Howard, relayed the advice her mother gave her when
she was about to have children of her own, telling Live Happy,
"She said that when it comes to building a strong family, it's always important to prioritize
the marriage.
You have to be stable in your marriage and personal relationships before you can impart
stability to your children."
Having tied the knot over 42 years ago, we'd say her advice is as reliable as it gets.
Ja Rule
In his memoir, Unruly: The Highs and Lows of Becoming a Man, Jeffrey "Ja Rule" Atkins
reveals that he first met his wife in 8th grade shop class.
He wrote,
"I've known that woman for a long time.
It's good to meet your soulmate, so to speak, at an early age, and go through life together,
growing together.
I watched her grow up, she watched me grow up."
But Aisha would find out that the life of hip-hop luxury comes with significant drawbacks,
namely groupies and illegal offstage antics.
When Ja was sentenced to prison for two years for tax evasion and possession of a semi-automatic
handgun, Aisha stood by him, telling TMZ,
"Ja made sure […] that me and my kids wouldn't need anything as far as income goes.
He planned well before he went in."
And when Ja was outed as a cheater in Confessions Of A Video Vixen, a claim he vehemently denies,
Aisha stood by him.
When asked by Wendy Williams about the infamous video vixen, Aisha shut it down:
"Child please, she ain't even up for discussion."
For Ja, all of that somehow translates to keeping it light.
He told Hello Beautiful,
"You know, you gotta keep it freaky.
Have a little fun, I think it's more about enjoying each other's company and having fun,
and not taking it so seriously."
