SOPHIA LOREN AND CARLO PONTI SR. – 46 YEARS
Sophia Loren is one of the actresses from what is known as the Golden Age of Hollywood. Her incredible performance in movies like Two Women gave her a reputation of beauty and grace in the industry and beyond. Her career is littered with accolades and awards, including a Grammy and five Gold Globe wins.
Sophia also won the heart of Carlo Ponti Sr. when she was just 16 years old. They were immediately taken with each other and couldn’t wait to get married. Unfortunately, Ponti was still going through the process of divorcing his first wife and, therefore, they had to get married by proxy with two lawyers standing in for them. In 1962, they annulled their marriage to avoid bigamy charges, but that didn’t change their love for each other. They remarried in 1966 once the divorce was finalized and have been together for more than 6 decades all in all!
