Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson – 49 Years

There’s another couple that we can add to the Golden relationship anniversary – well, we have to wait one more year. Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson met in 1970 when they were just college students. He was pursuing a degree at Morehouse University while LaTanya was at Spelman College. They were able to stay together even if they weren’t in the same school. No wonder they survived being a couple in the entertainment industry. Ten years after they met, LaTanya and Samual finally made that trip down the altar. They have one daughter, Zoe, who also entered the entertainment industry as a producer and director.

The couple was married in 1980, and LaTanya shared one of their secrets. Their half a century-long relationship thrived because she said no matter what, they never go to sleep angry at each other. Jackson also shared in his tribute how he would sometimes lead while at other times his wife would.
