Magic Johnson & Cookie Johnson – 30 Years

Cookie Johnson is one resilient woman. She also must love her Magic very much, considering she married him in 1991, the same year he disclosed his HIV status. It also not surprising then that Magic refers to her as A Gift from God.

Michael Jordan & Yvette Prieto – 10 Years

When you’re regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, you get some pretty decent perks. For Michael Jordan, that meant loads of respect, constant praise, and a more than healthy $2,2 billion in the bank. It also means having a beautiful lady to call your wife.

There’s no doubt that Jordan is smooth enough to land his ladies without the booming bank account and the GOAT title, but it didn’t hurt his chances with Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto. They got married in April 2013 and have identical twin daughters. Jordan also has three children from previous relationships and became a grandfather in 2019.

Charles Barkley & Maureen Blumhardt – 33 Years

Maureen Blumhardt has been married to the famous former basketball star Charles Barkley for more than three decades. But despite the fame that comes with Barkley’s profession, they’ve managed to keep their personal lives as private as possible.

When they first met and started a relationship, it was pretty controversial because of their different races. But it didn’t stop the pair from getting hitched in 1989, acknowledging that their love was real. And today, they are blessed with one child. Barkley is now a sports analyst, and he last appeared in “NBA on TNT” in March 2022.

LeBron James & Savannah James – 22 Years

LeBron James isn’t just a basketball phenom; he is also half of one of the sport’s sweetest love stories, with his high school sweetheart, Savannah James, right by his side. Young LeBron and Savannah crossed paths at a football game back in 2002. Even as LeBron jumped into the NBA life at 18, Savannah was there, his steadfast partner, even rocking a prom dress while expecting their first child.

Over the years, their family grew by two more kids, and in 2013, they tied the knot in a dazzling ceremony. LeBron’s not shy about calling Savannah his “queen,” and together, they’ve navigated the spotlight and built a beautiful life over two decades.

Terry Bradshaw & Tammy Bradshaw – 6 Years

Terry Bradshaw set a record as the quarterback for the Pittsburg Steelers, becoming the first quarterback to win three and then four Super Bowl rings. But in football, the one thing that isn’t a record, though, is the four marriages he’s been in.

What’s fascinating, though, is that he seems content in marriage number four with Tammy Bradshaw. The pair dated for 15 years before tying the knot in 2014. Overall this relationship has lasted longer than any of his others since his next longest marriage was his third one to Charla Hopkins that lasted 16 years. Bradshaw made an appearance on a 2021 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.
