'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
So in the world of 10-minute Hollywood marriages, who else has been able to stand the test of time? Check out our 15 tightest married couples and tell us what you think.
Celebrity Couples
Together since 1996, the actors (and parents of boy/girl twins) were reportedly celibate for a full year before marrying. Says Courtney, "Because we knew the relationship was so special, we decided to abstain from sex until after we were married."
Recently named one of Ebony Magazine's Hottest Couples, beautiful duo Boris and Nicole juggle their acting careers and speaking out about Spina Bifida for the Sophie's Voice Foundation, organized in honor of their daughter, Sophie Tei-Naaki Lee.
The talent in the Smith family extends far beyond power couple Will and Jada! The duo has managed to produce super-talented kids as well – showing the world that they're able to balance both home and work life almost flawlessly. They're the working parents' dream!
When Taye and Idina met on the set of RENT in 1996, they had no idea that the play would turn into a worldwide phenomenon...nor that their relationship would as well! The two are now proud parents and respected actors in the film/television and musical fields.
These two go without saying. When the future President of the United States and his ever-loyal First Lady met, Michelle was his mentor! Maybe it was her professional grooming that geared him up to be the loving husband he is today.
Of his proposal to Tisha, Duane told Jet Magazine, "I didn't ask her to marry me. I didn't ask her to be my wife. I asked her if she would be my best friend forever, because that's what's important to me." And after a two-decade relationship, he must really have had the right idea!
Regardless of how they started dating, singer Alicia and producer Swizz are truly in love. And now, especially after their new baby, Egypt Dean, the two are nearly inseparable!
When you're in the public eye, it's hard to keep your work and home life separate. Jay and Bey, however, have managed to show what's truly valuable in finding that balance. They've been together for years, but there's so little we know about what they do in their alone time! This power couple is in it for the long haul.
When Oprah Winfrey asked Pauletta if she ever felt jealous of Denzel's fan base, she replied, "No, because you know why? He's coming home." Keen thinking, Pauletta! No wonder she's been able to stay married to the movie heartthrob for nearly 30 years.
Shanice must have really loved Flex's smile, and Flex must have really wanted some "one on one" time, because the two have been together for ten years! They are also the proud parents of two.

Some wonderful couples...until you get to TI and Tiny. Ghetto trash. Junkies and a gang banger. They are pathetic people in our race.

Retract this statement! Tiny and T.I. are my favorite couple. He's a man who despite human flaws is taking care of HIS. They love each other and a lesser couple would have crumbled under the stress of being a star. T.I will recover and Tiny will be right there waiting for him til death do them part.

cheater keys and serial cheater swizz beats SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST. They've been together only 2 years. That isnt a long time. That IS NOT tight!
If you wanna be forreal,, put Queen ALtifah & on hre bc they have been together & are committed!

You were on a role, i totally agreed with all the couples until you got to home wrecking, spoiled, get anything you want, even if its someones else's husband, trash ass Alicia Keys. They are not a TIGHT couple, because karma is a bitch, she better keep in mind that, whatever she did to get UGLY ass Swiss Beats, may very well come back and bite her in the ass....

What about Oprah and Steadman? Spike and Tonya Lee? Mariah and Nick? Omar & Keisha Epps? Colin and Alma Powell? Samuel and LaTanya Jackson? Bill & Camille Cosby?
TI and Tiny? hmmmmmm.
And that picture with Marcus Allen is embarrassing. If you've read the comments by now, you should have changed it.
