In today’s celebrity culture, love can be awfully short-lived. It seems like Hollywood couples come and go too fast, leaving fans who support their love disappointed. However, there are still many celebrity couples who prove that long-lasting relationships do still exist in Hollywood, even without marriage. Their love is a testament to the saying: “If two hearts are meant to be together, no matter how long it takes, how far they go, how tough it seems, fate will bring them together to share their love forever.”
