00:00But you have imagined it all your life, but then you can't imagine it because it's never happened,
00:04and then it happens and then you can't imagine it, but then you imagined it.
00:08Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for famous couples who proved
00:13that sometimes waiting for your perfect match takes some patience.
00:17We live together, but we don't live together.
00:19A lot of variety.
00:20Yes.
00:20A lot of variety.
00:23Number 10, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.
00:27Married since 1995, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen know that you can't hurry love.
00:33Well, actually, the first time we met, I was doing a movie called Cross Creek,
00:38and he auditioned to play opposite me, and he didn't get the part.
00:41Oops!
00:42I wasn't ready for it.
00:44I had to develop a little bit.
00:45Although they had already crossed paths, things didn't turn romantic between the pair
00:50until they worked together on the film Pontiac Moon in 1993.
00:54At the time, Danson was 46 years old, while Steenburgen was 40.
00:59They said they're I do's in Martha's Vineyard, and have been together ever since.
01:04No, but you were mesmerizing, and it's like why I'm in love with you.
01:07I just, I just listened to why I'm in love with you for an hour.
01:11You're, you're amazing.
01:14Not only are they spouses, but also colleagues.
01:16Since their first film together, the two have co-starred in a handful of projects,
01:21sharing their chemistry on both the big and small screen.
01:25I just thought I'd, uh, drop by a housewarming.
01:30Creme flowers.
01:33Number 9.
01:34Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts.
01:36Back in 2015, Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts formed a friendship over social media.
01:42Bonded by music, love blossomed between the Reno 911 actress and singer-songwriter Betts
01:48a few years later.
01:50Three two steps.
01:51That's a two step.
01:52Only have I.
01:53Stir it up.
01:58Bringing the sauce on the carpet.
02:00At the time, Nash was 49 years old, and Betts was 37.
02:05A short while later, they tied the knot in a small ceremony in California.
02:08We're newlyweds.
02:10That's why we smiling so big.
02:14Even people that we know did not find out until we posted a wedding video.
02:19From magazine covers to starring in a music video together, the duo are the perfect example
02:24of how to be a supportive partner.
02:26It just goes to show that true love is worth the wait.
02:28Will you catch me as I hoped you would before?
02:36Will you hold me?
02:40Number 8.
02:41Elton John and David Furnish
02:43By the time he met his future husband, David Furnish, in 1993, Sir Elton John was already
02:49a living legend.
02:51The Grammy award-winning artist was 46 years old when the one-time ad exec was introduced
02:56to him via a mutual friend.
02:57The thing that struck me about David was, from the word go, he was, you know, he wasn't
03:02in awe of me.
03:03He was always going to be confrontational.
03:06He would always tell me the truth.
03:08John has publicly stated that one of the things that attracted him to Furnish, who was in his
03:12early 30s when they met, was his independence.
03:15Over 10 years later, the pair married in one of Britain's first same-sex legally binding
03:21ceremonies.
03:21A form of rejection from your own family is a very, very hard thing to take, but that
03:26was more than compensated for by the friends who came on the day and supported us, and it
03:31was a wonderful, wonderful occasion.
03:32Since then, they have expanded their family, welcoming sons Zachary and Elijah in the 2010s.
03:38Human rights advocates, John and Furnish share a love story that is a reminder that good things
03:44come to those who wait.
03:45We believe, more than anything, that you deserve the right to choose who you love, and to love
03:51yourself for who you are, no matter where you are in the world.
03:56Number 7.
03:57Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault
03:59Although they are one of Hollywood's most private couples, it's clear that Salma Hayek
04:04and François-Henri Pinault are head over heels for each other.
04:08Keeping the details of their meet-cute hush-hush, the From Dusk Till Dawn actress and CEO started
04:13dating in 2006, when he was in his 40s and she was 39.
04:18I've been so blessed in so many ways, but that is the luckiest thing that can happen
04:25to somebody, to find the right person for you.
04:29A year later, Hayek gave birth to their daughter, Valentina, and in 2009, they married on Valentine's
04:35Day.
04:36The starlet went on record stating that she was unsure if marriage was in her future,
04:40until Pinault entered the picture.
04:42Seems like patience really is a virtue.
04:45It's better to be single than to be with the wrong one that is going to prevent you
04:50from recognizing the one that was your soul.
04:55Number 6.
04:56Halle Berry and Van Hunt
04:58In 2020, the world came to a screeching halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting everyone
05:04to go into isolation.
05:06Despite that, people still managed to connect, forming bonds.
05:09And in the case of Halle Berry and Van Hunt, love.
05:13Conversing on the phone, the 54-year-old actress and 50-year-old musician soon took their romance
05:19public.
05:20When you're loved and supported and uplifted as a woman, everything changes.
05:24Everything looks, the day looks brighter.
05:26Everything looks better.
05:27Your opportunities seem limitless.
05:30That's what's happened.
05:31Since then, the two have openly gushed over each other, with the Oscar-winning actress
05:36calling him her BF, her soulmate.
05:38As they approach their 60s, it looks like the next decade will be golden for this sweet
05:43couple.
05:43How has he changed your thought of what it means to be a great partner?
05:48He hasn't changed my thought.
05:50I've changed my thought of it.
05:51You know, the work has been mine, all mine alone, and I've done it.
05:54And I feel really good about that.
05:55Number 5.
05:56Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden
05:58Once one of Hollywood's most notable bachelorettes, Cameron Diaz's love life took a major turn
06:04in 2014.
06:05At 42 years old, Diaz met the man who would soon become her husband, Benji Madden.
06:10It's funny.
06:12You guys are such a match.
06:14Yeah, it's funny.
06:15It's the thing that I'm most grateful for in my life, is our marriage and our family.
06:20Meeting via mutual acquaintances, they became engaged and, shortly after, married.
06:25Afterwards, Diaz spoke publicly about her admiration for Madden, stating that he was her
06:30equal.
06:31I know.
06:31I'm obsessed with him.
06:33I love him so much.
06:34He's obsessed with you.
06:35I know.
06:37I love him.
06:38He's the best guy.
06:39He's just the best person I know.
06:41In 2019, they shared news their daughter, Radix, had been born.
06:45And in 2024, they welcomed a son, Cardinal.
06:49The same year that she met the good Charlotte singer, the Bad Teacher star retired from acting.
06:54In 2025, she made her return to film, starring in the Netflix movie Back in Action with the
07:00support of her hubby.
07:01You sold a cyber-terrorist weapon, you hid it at my estranged mother's house, and you
07:06lied about it for 15 years.
07:09Well, when you put it all together like that, it sounds bad.
07:11Number four, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant.
07:14From friends to collaborators, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant's love is fueled by creativity.
07:20I wonder when she, like, first walks out when she's getting gussied up.
07:25What is that when the first time you see her when she wants it?
07:32In 2011, Grant, an artist, gifted her Matrix pal a book that combined his text with her artwork.
07:39With a solid foundation beneath them, the pair made their first appearance as a couple in
07:442019, when Reeves was 55 and Grant was 46.
07:48Since then, the twosome have attended many events arm-in-arm, even sharing an occasional
07:53kiss on the red carpet.
07:55Looks like when it comes to Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant, romance isn't just a connection,
08:00it's an art.
08:01No, no, because if you're a lover, you gotta be a fighter.
08:05How so?
08:06Because if you don't fight for your love, what kind of love do you have?
08:10No, I'm kidding.
08:11Number three, Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson.
08:14Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson's romance was years in the making.
08:18We had known each other in passing, very much, you know, seeing each other at award shows
08:22and stuff like that, and we're on the lot.
08:24I think I once offered her a lift, one we always saw in Warner's lot, but she was going
08:30in a different direction.
08:31After meeting 10 years prior, the two finally began their courtship in 2015.
08:36At the time, Taylor was 72 years old, while Paulson was 41.
08:41So I can imagine being in love at my time in my life with somebody who's such a great
08:46artist, such a free, independent spirit.
08:49The couple are frequently spotted attending events together from the Emmys to the Tonys,
08:54celebrating and supporting each other's accomplishments.
08:56In 2024, Paulson revealed that marriage isn't of any interest to them.
09:02We don't live together, meaning we don't, like, own a home together, but we are together
09:05more often than we are not.
09:06In one home or the other?
09:07In one home or the other.
09:08While fans of the couple shouldn't anticipate nuptials in the future, they can expect lots
09:13of cute red carpet pics of the charming duo.
09:20While blind dates can be intimidating for any singleton, sometimes they're worth the stress.
09:25Just ask Barbara Streisand and James Brolin.
09:28After being set up by friends, the funny girl triple threat and the catch-me-if-you-can actor
09:34started dating in 1996.
09:36Was it love at first sight?
09:38Two, three minutes.
09:40It was a blind date, in essence.
09:42At the time, Streisand was 54 and Brolin was 56.
09:47A couple of years after meeting, they got hitched in 1998, surrounded by famous pals like Tom Hanks
09:53and Quincy Jones.
09:54Is it 50-50?
09:55I mean, we hear, you know, we used to always hear, oh, she's so controlling.
09:59Is it 50-50?
10:00It's 100-100.
10:01Ah.
10:02After 15 years of wedding bliss, Brolin credited their separate finances as a key to their marital
10:07success.
10:08Together for nearly 30 years, maybe this dynamic duo is onto something.
10:13And we're just about to fall asleep, I thought, you know, and he says, I don't want to fall
10:18asleep.
10:19And so I say, why not?
10:21And he says, because then I'll miss you.

10:39Number 1.
10:40George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin
10:43At one time, George Clooney was the biggest bachelor in showbiz.
10:47Despite being attached to several famous faces, the good night and good luck actor seemed to
10:52relish his singlehood.
10:54Then he met Amal Alamuddin.
10:56Because you were known as a confirmed bachelor.
10:58But you met Amal Clooney.
11:00And what happened to you, George?
11:01I was no longer confirmed.
11:03It was easy.
11:05It was the minute she walked in the door.
11:06I was just, you know, taken by it.
11:09Introduced by a shared pal, Clooney was 52 years old when the human rights attorney captured his heart.
11:15Only months into their young romance, the movie star popped the question and his single life was history.
11:20We came to it late.
11:22Me much later than her, because she's much younger than me.
11:25But I came to it late and we are really aware of time and how precious it is and how lucky we are to be together.
11:32They married in a lavish ceremony in Venice, attended by celeb friends such as Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.
11:39A couple of years later, the pair welcomed twins, Ella and Alexander.
11:43Stan has access to Hollywood-grade props, like fake cockroaches and mice.
11:48And he now has a 3D printer.
11:50So I can't tell you the things I'm finding, like, under my documents, under my pillow.
11:54The epitome of class and elegance, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin prove that romance is always in the cards.
12:02Which of these celeb pairings are your ultimate couple goals?
12:05Be sure to share your pick in the comments.
12:08He is the man I should have married.
12:10I hope I do, because he's the person I should have married.
