Kobe and Vanessa Bryant – This couple faced one of the most high-profile cases of 2003, as Kobe, an NBA vet, was brought up on charges of sexual assault. Then married to the LA Laker for only two years, Vanessa, held Kobe’s hand at a national press conference, showing the curious public that she indeed would remain by her man’s side. Nearly 11, and one two-year split later, the Bryants are still together—making their love last forever.

Earvin “Magic” and Cookie Johnson – More than two decades ago, Magic Johnson shocked the world when he revealed he was HIV positive.

Proving that love might be better the second time around.

Ludacris and Eudoxie – Every relationship faces some sort of hard time. Unfortunately for celebrities—this duo included—many of those times are played out for all to see. So in 2013 when it was revealed that Ludacris was the new father of a baby outside of his longtime relationship, the Internet was in an uproar, as many would have never seen such coming. No worries though, Eudoxie supported her man through the media whirlwind and is still by his side!

Snoop Lion and Shante – The two have a fairytale love story. High school sweethearts, they married in 1997 and share three children together.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – Throughout their 16-year marriage, Will and Jada have grown to become an idolized couple. And although public perception of the duo errs on the side of loving the duo, they’ve had a fair share of negative rumors and chatter to deal with during that time. But being the classy folk they are, the Smiths haven’t allowed such talk to ruin the good thing they have in one another.
