We at Bright Side are celebrating the spirit of love and would like to share with you how these famous couples keep their love alive.
1. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
When they first met in 2008, the pair fell in love with each other at first sight. But since both of them are busy actors, they were always on a tight schedule. Still, they tried to keep in touch and make their relationship work. In fact, when Emily was busy shooting Mary Poppins Return, John flew to her set every weekend to see her. Now, they’ve been married for almost a decade and have 2 wonderful children together.
2. Victoria and David Beckham
Everybody knows about David Beckham’s, and his wife Victoria’s, perfect love story but not many know about the struggles they’ve faced together.

They have been married for 20 years now and have 4 children together.
3. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick
Having been married for more than 22 years now, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are the ultimate couple goals. The 2 never let distance bother them very much and have been happily living together since Jessica’s brother first introduced them.

4. Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler
They’re the cutest young couple — Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler have been together for 7 years and are still going strong.
