Sting & Trudie Styler – 26 Years
If Shakespeare isn’t romantic, then nothing is. For Sting and Trudie Styler, their first encounter with Shakespeare brought them together for the rest of their lives. They lived next door to each other at the time. In 1982, they started dating — but they waited ten years before getting married formally.
Even though they waited for marriage before having children, they didn’t wait to start a family. Only one of their numerous kids was born after they became man and wife. Although Trudie stayed with the Royal Shakespeare Company as an actress, Sting shifted his attention to music as the frontman of The Police, a well-known rock band.
