When it comes to a relationship (let alone in the public eye), it’s hard to keep things going after a while. All of the allegations and the fame play a part in relationships for celebrities. Despite all the trials and tribulations, here are 4 music couples that stayed together.
Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa
The now-married couple started out as acquaintances. They met in 1980 at The Stone Pony, which was a bar in Asbury Park, NJ. Even though Scialfa toured with Springsteen, it didn’t mean romance immediately. Springsteen married Julianne Phillips but it was a rocky relationship. Due to seeing tabloid photos of Scialfa and Springsteen, Phillips filed for divorce. In 1990, Springsteen and Scialfa had a son named Evan and they married the next year. Scialfa was in it for the long haul as she helped him battle bouts of depression and other things.
Gloria and Emilio Estefan
Both were Cuban immigrants who met at a jam session in Miami in 1975. A few months later Estefan joined his group the Miami Latin Boys. 3 years later they married and a couple of kids. Later they changed the name to the Miami Sound Machine and signed with CBS. After touring for years in Latin America fusing pop with their Cuban rhythms, Gloria came up with the idea to make English songs. While the label executives complained, her idea worked with the smash hit “Conga.” Since then she and her husband not only have broke barriers in music, but they have a slew of great Cuban restaurants and investments in hotels that have garnered them a fortune. They’ve been together for over 40 years and are two different people, but they have a common person for music and business. It’s something that just works for them.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Both met each other in 1994 at the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville. At the time, both were in their own relationships, but they broke it off with their respective significant others. The romance began to truly spark in 1996. They threw a surprise wedding for their guests on October 6, 1996. They’ve been together for nearly 25 years and have 3 daughters together. Despite McGraw’s partying and drinking problem, Hill stayed on to support him. He mentioned the issue in 2014 in Men’s Health magazine where he talked about getting his life back together for his family. They’ve done a duet song, a joint residency, and a co-headlining tour together.
Beyonce and Jay-Z
From the “03 Bonnie and Clyde” track to their joint album “Everything Is Love”, we’ve seen the good and bad times in their relationship. The power couple has done music and business together in their 13 years of marriage. They have 3 kids together and continue to dominate in their own respective entities. There were infidelities on possibly both sides of the relationship, which they addressed on “Lemonade” and “4:44.” Jay-Z even said they went to marriage counseling to work things out. They’re in it for the long haul, not just because their celebrities with a marriage known to the public.
