1986 – Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger

In 1987, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger were among the celebrities and media personalities who decided to hitch in the same year. The union of the two was one of the most celebrated relationships in the industry as they found lasting love in each other. Though their marriage ended in 2017, they remained one of the best couples as their partnership remained for their family’s sake.

Maria met Arnold back in 1977 after being introduced by her fellow journalist, Tom Brokaw. After dating for nine years, the couple had a grand wedding in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1986. Two years later, they welcomed their daughter Katherine, who is now married to the actor Chris Pratt. Their other three children were born in 1991, 1993, and 1997. From being a usual celeb couple, Maria and Arnold turned into political figures when he became the governor of California. Though Maria was not new to politics due to her Kennedy bloodline, she first hesitated the idea but eventually supported his husband’s ambition. By the end of Arnold’s second term, he also bid goodbye to his marriage with Maria, which was caused by infidelity issues that happened decades ago. In 2011, the couple hired lawyers to work on their marriage dissolution that officially ended in 2017.
