3. Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart
It’s only fitting that these two cultural icons picked an equally iconic wedding day. Ford and Flockhart first met at the 59th Golden Globe Awards in 2002 – the year they started dating – and finally got married in 2010.
Ford and Flockhart’s marriage has lasted 13 years … and counting.
4. Elton John and Renate Blauel
British singer Elton John and German sound engineer Renate Blauel first met in 1983 in London while finishing his Too Low for Zero album, quickly becoming close friends. A year later, they wed in St Mark’s Church in Sydney, Australia.
Their marriage lasted for four years and ended as soon as John came out as gay. “I denied who I really was, which caused my wife sadness, and caused me huge guilt and regret,” John said in an Instagram statement in 2017.
Despite a legal dispute in 2020 over how John’s biopic Rocketman represented their relationship, the pair continues to be on amicable terms, with John now happily married to Canadian-British filmmaker David Furnish.

5. Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter
Married since 2015, the Sherlock actor met the playwright-director on set in 2009’s Burlesque Fairytales. While Cumberbatch and Hunter have kept their relationship away from the public eye for the most part – subtly announcing their engagement in the Births, Deaths and Marriages column of The Times – they were happy to reveal they had a baby on the way the same year they exchanged vows.
The intimate private ceremony took place in a church on the Isle of Wight on Valentine’s Day. Cumberbatch and Hunter are now the parents of three children.
6. Sharon Stone and Phil Bronstein
Oscar-nominated actress Sharon Stone and investigative journalist Phil Bronstein called it quits six years after their Valentine’s wedding in 1998, which took place at Stone’s Beverly Villas home.
The exes adopted a child together two years after their union, over whom they endured a bitter custody fight when they divorced in 2004.
