True love seems to be quite elusive, especially in the glittery world of show business. Relationships form and dissolve so rapidly that it’s hard to keep tabs on who’s involved with whom. However, there are couples that stand the test of time, embarking on life’s journey together, raising kids, exploring the world, and growing old together, which is truly inspirational.

Get familiar with a list of 14 outstanding celebrity duos who demonstrate that true love indeed exists.

1.Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith

For over 30 years, Oprah and Stedman Graham have remained one of Hollywood’s most adored duos, even though they aren’t married. The couple has been together since 1986 (they got engaged in 1992), indicating that true love doesn’t necessarily require validation by a legal document. The image above was taken in 1995, after nearly a decade of their relationship.
