ANGELA BASSETT AND COURTNEY B. VANCE – 38 YEARS
Portraying the character Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It gave actress Angela Bassett her ticket to fame. She would go on to play several more critically-acclaimed roles and even received a Golden Globe award. The actress is also a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, where she received a master’s of fine arts degree.
Bassett got married to fellow actor Courtney B. Vance, and the couple became parents to twins in 2006 via surrogacy. The couple are each other’s rock and have supported each other through life and career for more than 23 years of marriage!
