25+ Celebs Who Got Married After 40 and Proved That It’s Never Too Late to Find True Love

The notorious bachelor has finally settled down, and we’ve been loving this pair together. After meeting in September 2014, Clooney and his current wife Amal Alamuddin tied the knot after less than a year of dating.

The couple has since welcomed twin daughters into their family, and have a home full of love and laughter. The couple is quite private about their personal lives, but from what we know, this seems to be a happy marriage and a happy home. We’re cheering them on!

As one of the more stable Hollywood relationships, Harrison and Calista have been married since 2010. This is Ford’s third marriage, but that sure didn’t hold him back from pursuing love. This love has stood the test of time, and we’re beaming over it!

Over the years, we’ve seen this blended family come together and do beautiful things. From serving in the community to flying planes, Ford and Flockhart have shown Hollywood the beautiful simplicity of marriage without flashy drama or oversharing. We’re forever loving the Ford-Flockhart love!

After starting a relationship with her match in 2019, Paris Hilton and businessman Carter Reum got engaged in February 2012 and tied the knot a few months later in November. The couple had known each other for 15 years before they started dating. We guess Reum was playing the long game.

The couple welcomed their first baby to their family in January of 2023, and have been very vocal about their excitement about having a growing family. Hilton and Reum were able to have this baby via surrogate after attempts at IVF treatments. We know that they’re going to be the best parents!

Now on his third marriage, we’re hoping that it’s the last! Richard Gere married Spanish activist Alejandra Silva in 2018 after starting a relationship in 2014. This match was truly made in heaven, as Gere has been a humanitarian himself for a long time.

The two have been married for over nine years and are still happy and thriving, despite the four-year age gap. That certainly hasn’t seemed to slow them down! The couple has had two kids together and they also parent Silva’s son, Albert, from a previous marriage.

There’s just something about a man that can play the guitar, right? Well, Cameron Diaz got her dream romance in 2015 after meeting her husband, Benji Madden, just 10 months earlier! It must’ve been love at first sight!

Diaz and Madden welcomed their daughter, Raddix, into the world in 2019, and life has never been the same for this celebrity couple. Diaz shared in an interview that there is a “distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends.” There’s hope yet, ladies!

After two failed marriages, McCartney has landed his third wife, and this marriage seems just delightful. McCartney and his wife, Nancy Shevell, keep their personal lives quite private, so it’s unclear how and when the two lovebirds met. After dating for about four years, they put a ring on it in 2011 and tied the knot later that year.

Married for over 11 years, Paul shared that being “considerate and romantic” is the way to a healthier, happier marriage. We love this advice and hope for the same kind of relationship one day. What an incredible reminder that age is just a number, and love is in unlikely places.

After co-starring as a married couple in the FX series Fargo, co-stars Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons decided to make this fantasy a reality. The couple got engaged in 2017 after meeting in 2016, and life kept happening!

Welcoming their first son into the world in 2018 and their second child in 2021, Dunst and Plemons finally tied the knot in July 2022. The family now splits their time between Texas and California, and loves living life together as a unit of four!

After dating his partner of 20 years, model Miranda Rijnsburger, Iglesias finally married the love of his life and the mother of five of his kids, in 2010. It was said to be love at first sight, and honestly, this looks like eternal love to us!

The couple has made their home in Marabella, Spain, where they have a joy-filled home with their children. This Dutch model has aged beautifully and is an incredible mother to her children and wife to her husband.

South African Olympic swimmer, Charlene Wittstock, joined royalty but her story has been far from a fairytale. Prince Albert was already a father to two love children before he and Wittstock got together when rumors of a third started circulating while this couple was engaged.

When this info was leaked, Wittstock allegedly tried to escape her upcoming wedding – three times – before the big day. With a wedding day full of tears and a honeymoon spent in separate hotel rooms, this marriage seemed far from happy. Bringing their own children into the family seems to have brought them the unity that they needed.

Stockbroker Tom Mahoney put a ring on it in August 2005, and by June 2006, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mahoney were introduced to the world. The couple welcomed fraternal twin daughters into their family in February 2007 after months of IVF treatments, and the happy family has been, well, happy ever since.

Life hasn’t been without its hurts for these two, though. Both Mahoney and Cross have walked through battles with illnesses. The two are stronger than ever and taking on their “new normal” one day at a time.

Set up on a blind date back in 1996, this match is coming up on 25 years of marriage, and still going strong! When they met, both Streisand and Brolin had children from previous marriages, and blended their families two years later after getting married in Streisand’s Malibu backyard.

Nowadays, the couple supports each other at various award banquets and honorary ceremonies. They like to spend their off-time soaking up all of the grandchildren’s snuggles and spoiling them as any grandparents do. Cheers to lasting love!

“Bennifer” was the comeback of the century and living proof that love has no expiration date. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez started dating back in 2002 and broke off their engagement in 2004.

These stars have since then rekindled their first love story in 2021 and went through with that wedding that they started planning 20 years ago. We’re excited about the reinstatement of Bennifer and can’t wait to see what’s next for this perfect couple!

Now on his second marriage, Elton John seems happier than ever! John and his now husband, David Furnish, announced their plans to wed in 2005 after John proposed to his beloved.

This unique pair had their romantic first date with Chinese takeout, and they’ve never looked back since! This love is a good reminder that love doesn’t have to be flashy or elegant to be true. Love can be Chinese takeout and sweatpants on a rainy Thursday afternoon, too.

This marriage has really stood through thick and thin. Actor Bruce Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis, have walked through life together since meeting at the gym, and haven’t turned back. The couple has welcomed two daughters into their family and renewed their vows after 10 years of marriage together.

About three years after their vow renewal, the Willis family shared that Bruce had been diagnosed with a language disorder called aphasia in 2022. In February 2023, his diagnosis was made more clear as it became dementia. This couple has a long uphill battle ahead of them, but we’re cheering them on every step of the way!

After falling in love on the set of Dream House, this celeb couple has been together for over a decade, and we celebrate that! Daniel Craig and his current wife, Rachel Weisz, met back in the ’90s when they were still up-and-coming actors.

By 2011, this sweet pair secretly tied the knot, and in 2018 they announced that they were expecting their first child together. The couple is quite private about their marriage and family life, but a decade of marriage speaks to the love that they have for one another.

We’ve all had a crush on John Stamos at some point in our lives, but it’s Caitlin McHugh that’s caught this hunky man’s heart! After meeting on the set of Law and Order: SVU, this couple made all of their happily-ever-after dreams come true with a gorgeous wedding in February 2018 and the birth of their son just a couple of months later.

This family makes parenting look good, and they make marriage look even better. We’re anxiously awaiting more Stamos-McHugh babies! Just scroll through the comments section on McHugh’s Instagram posts, and you’ll see example after example of Stamos gushing over his wife. That’s what we like to see!

The Kardashians have been huge influencers in the reality TV world for over a decade, and in 2021, Kourtney brought Travis Barker onto the scene. Just one month after their red carpet couple debut, the couple was engaged during an incredibly romantic beachside proposal.

The duo said their “I dos” in May 2022, and the rest is history. From an intimate Santa Barbara wedding to their bigger ceremony in Portofino, Italy, this couple knows how to tie the knot with glamor.

Kathy Griffin may be a comedian, but her marriage is certainly no joke! Ringing in the new year with a new husband, Griffin and Randy Bick tied the knot in 2020 during a small ceremony officiated by Lily Tomlin.

The couple was full of joy and couldn’t stop laughing – which is just what we like to see! After years of dating and a surprise marriage, we’re excited for their long love and all that it will bring!

The heartbreak of a long-term relationship separation with writer-director Ned Benson sure didn’t keep Chastain from finding love! A couple of years after her breakup, in 2012, Chastain started dating Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo.

Gian Luca is an Italian Count and Moncler executive… Yes, you read that right. Chastain officially married into royalty five years later and welcomed two beautiful daughters into the family. Let’s just say that she found a love worth waiting for!

After tying the knot in February 2021, Nicolas Cage and Riko Shibata welcomed their first daughter together in September of 2022. Now, this is Cage’s fifth marriage, but he’s said that he thinks he got it right this time.

One quirky tidbit about this couple’s story is that they got engaged over FaceTime, and Cage shipped the engagement ring to her via FedEx. It’s a good thing that the package didn’t get lost in shipping!

As a twice-married man, Robert Redford sealed the deal with his current wife, Sibylle Szaggars, in 2009. This marriage has given him a new excitement for life – maybe it’s because of the near two-decade age difference?

After dating for 12 years, Redford finally proposed, and the couple has stuck together ever since. They enjoy activities like horseback riding, playing tennis, and skiing. It seems that this marriage still has a bountiful life to be lived!

Actress Amy Adams found her Enchanted love story match. Back in 2001, she met painter and actor Darren Le Gallo in an acting class and they started dating shortly after. Amy got her dream ring in 2008, and seven years later she got a husband and daughter to go with it!

With a love story that’s spanned over two decades, this pair has longevity that makes marriage feel like a dream. Their family life and marriage seem to be thriving, and we’re celebrating that alongside them!

Tying the knot in the most romantic place in the world, France, Vincent Cassel and model Tina Kunakey swapped vows in 2018. They’ve been happily married and exploring the world together ever since.

Newlywed bliss hasn’t worn off for these two lovebirds, and it looks good on them! They’ve even been seen cuddling in the back of water taxis in Venice. What a fairytale!

Hugh Grant and his wife, Anna Eberstein, are notoriously quiet about their private life, but we love what we have seen. Grant has five children, three of which came from his current marriage with Eberstein.

Grant has stepped into this role as a husband and a dad, especially considering that he never thought he’d be married or become a parent. The happy couple keeps to themselves for the most part, and have been married since 2018. We’re cheering these lovers on!

Now on his fourth marriage, Quaid tied the knot again in June 2022 during a secret elopement with his now-wife Laura Savoie. This love is an exciting one! Quaid comments on his wife’s character, intelligence, and values while Savoie shares that Dennis has a love for life that makes even mundane moments exciting.

It sounds like this couple has many adventures and celebrations to come! We’re excited about their love and inspired by Quaid for not giving up on love, even after a few tries.

After meeting and starting to date on the set of The Game Plan in 2007, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson finally popped the question 12 years later in 2019. This couple has now been together for over 17 years and is looking forward to a lifetime of partnership and friendship together.

With two daughters brought into their family throughout their dating relationship, we’ve loved watching their love literally multiply. We cannot wait to watch their love story as this couple grows old together.

Legendary news anchor, Katie Couric lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, back in 1998. After nine years of marriage and two daughters together, many of us remember how devastating this was. It took Couric years to find love again.

In 2012, Couric crossed paths with her current husband, John Molner, and he had her at “hello.” The couple was engaged the following year (which was a surprise to Couric) and married in 2014. This second shot at love is a beautiful story!

Married in 2003 after welcoming two children into the world, Julianne Moore and director Bart Freundlich make the image of a Hollywood family look so normal. We love the way that Moore and Freundlich make daily things like grocery shopping and holding hands down the street look so full of joy.

Moore commented “I feel happy that my marriage is thriving and intact,” as she and Freundlich approach 20 years of marriage together. It shows, girl! Watching Moore laugh until she cries with her sweet hubby by her side makes all of us hopeless romantics feel hopeful!

Now married for over three decades, it seems that actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening did something right. The couple met on the set of the film Bugsy and within minutes, Beatty knew that he was going to marry Bening one day.

Now over 30 years and four children later, this marriage is still growing, and the couple typically keeps their personal lives private. Bening has shared, though, that the secret to a long and healthy marriage is to do unexpected things every day to keep the marriage surprising. Well noted, Annette!

Vaughn married his sweetheart Kyla Weber in 2010 after a nine-month engagement following the pair meeting at a friend’s wedding. Interestingly, Kyla isn’t even in the entertainment industry!

This sweet couple now has two children in the mix and likes to keep life silly. It seems that the Vaughn household keeps things fun and lighthearted. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in their home!

Now married to the gorgeous retired Olympic gymnast Emilie Livingston, Jeff seems happier than ever. This couple seems like they’re just crazy about each other! Since getting married in 2014, they’ve welcomed two lovely children into their lives.

This unlikely match met at the gym, and they say that the rest is history. We guess that if you needed a reason to get off your couch and head to the gym, this reason may be good enough!

This famous drag queen finally married his perfect match, Georges LeBar, after being together for almost three decades. The couple had a secret wedding ceremony on their 23rd anniversary.

Now the couple is more than five years into marriage and still seems to be flourishing. Unlike RuPaul, LeBar prefers not to stand in the spotlight too much and keeps his affairs fairly quiet. Show business isn’t for everyone!

Everyone loves Ellen! We bet you can’t name one person that doesn’t! In 2008, Degeneres popped the question to her partner Portia de Rossi.

Three months later, the two walked down the aisle and said their “I dos” at an intimate ceremony in their home in Los Angeles. This marriage has brought both DeGeneres and de Rossi confidence and safety that they hadn’t felt before. That’s what marriage is all about, right?

Hargitay is a prime example of something good happening when you mix business with pleasure, and we’re here for it! Hargitay met her current husband and fellow actor Peter Hermann while filming Law & Order: SVU.

Since their wedding in 2004, the happy couple has welcomed three children into their family; one biologically and two through adoption. This beautiful love story shows Hollywood the normal chaos of juggling children, marriage, careers, and more. We support these SVU sweethearts all the way!

After three decades of being together, George Takei and his husband Brad Altman are making up for the lost time. The couple spent 20 years hiding their relationship in fear that it’d be the end of Takei’s career.

In 2005, that all changed. Their relationship was shared with the public, and the two made plans to marry each other as the final chapter of their love story of a lifetime.

Comedian Susie Essman married her sweetheart, Jim Harder, in 2008, and things have never been the same for this sweet family! The couple met around Thanksgiving of 2003 when a mutual friend brought them along on a shopping trip. Essman didn’t know she was shopping for a husband that day!

Through long-distance and living in different cities, their love story has stood the test of time. They haven’t had children of their own, but Essman has loved her husband’s four kids (from a previous marriage) as if they were her own. We love their love!

As a mom of four and a three-time wifey, Vanessa Williams has finally settled down with Jim Skrip since their wedding day in 2015. After meeting while vacationing in Egypt, the two ate dinner together outside of Williams’ hotel, and she was hooked!

Just one year after their tour guide in Egypt introduced them to each other, the two were engaged and getting excited about all things wedding-related. They actually had two weddings, as if one wasn’t enough! They’re still going strong, and we’re loving it!

Sam Asghari played the long game with a five-year courtship with Britney Spears. The couple finally said their vows and recited their “I dos” in June 2022. The couple met on the set of Spears’ music video “Slumber Party,” and they never looked back!

The star-studded wedding ceremony was an unforgettable crowd celebrating an unforgettable day. This marriage is the perfect example of good things taking time. We’re excited about this dynamic duo and hopeful for a long, joyful marriage!

At a whopping 46 years apart in age, Dick Van Dyke and his wife Arlene Silver aren’t letting that hold them back! The couple married in 2012 in a private ceremony near Malibu. They followed that with a more extravagant ceremony with a “seafoam circus” theme.

The age gap threw a lot of people off, but Van Dyke shares that Silver is an absolute angel. Their marriage is full of fun, dancing, singing, cooking, and making the home a lively place of celebration.

Although his marriage to Angelina Jolie ended in 2019, Brad Pitt still makes the list. Once considered the “it” couple of Hollywood, this couple dated for 12 years before their brief two-year marriage began.

The former couple had six children together, three biologically, and three adopted. Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, and there have been legal battles ever since, primarily over custody of the children. This divorce has been a rocky one, and things still haven’t slowed down.

Sadly, this marriage is no longer intact as Valerie Bertinelli filed for divorce from her second husband, Tom Vitale, in 2021 after 10 years of marriage. Listing “irreconcilable differences” as the main cause, the divorce was officially recognized in November 2022.

Bertinelli now considers herself a “happily divorced” woman and is looking forward to not being married again after this second divorce.

Hayek shows women that you really can do it all! Back in March of 2007, Hayek not only said “yes” to CEO Francois-Henri Pinault but did it while pregnant with their first child! That September, the couple welcomed their daughter into their growing family, and they recited their vows in 2009.

If getting married in Paris on Valentine’s Day wasn’t romantic enough, the couple took it up a notch when they renewed their vows in Venice a couple of months later. Now, that love is a fairytale kind of love!

Bill Nye is no longer “The Science Guy,” but “The Married Guy!” Nye tied the knot with author and journalist, Liza Mundy, in 2022. Their love was solidified over their shared interest in learning, teaching, and storytelling.

And of course, it only makes sense that a Star Trek actor – Robert Picardo – officiated their wedding. This is a chemistry that we hope lasts forever!

With over 10 years of marriage and seven children together, Baldwin’s marriage with Hilaria Baldwin has weathered the storm time and time again. Both Alec and Hilaria have been under fire, but this family has stuck through it all together as a unit.

Although their love story got off to a slow start, it clearly worked for them. The couple was engaged and married by the end of 2012. After that, they got busy introducing beautiful babies into the world. We’re inspired by this family’s unity through thick and thin!

An actress and an art director… it just makes sense. Actress Chloë Sevigny started dating her beloved art gallery director Siniša Mačković in 2018. They announced that they were expecting a beautiful son at the beginning of 2020. The couple had an intimate wedding ceremony just a few months before their son was born.

In May 2022, the couple re-wed in a larger, dreamier ceremony. They marked their momentous marriage with more grandeur and were surrounded by the people that they love. There’s no other way to celebrate a celeb wedding than with an extravagant bash!
