ANGELA BASSETT AND COURTNEY B. VANCE – 24 YEARS
Multi-awarded movie stars Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance are not only popular for their on-screen performances. They are also the stars in each other’s hearts. The couple met at Yale while the two were earning their degrees in drama. Since then, they have become fascinated with each other and a relationship sprung from their meeting. Soon, they got married and decided to have a family. It wasn’t that easy, though, as the couple had trouble conceiving.
After seven long years of trying all their options, they had a pair of twins through surrogacy. Their kids, Slater Josiah and Bronwyn Golden, were born in 2006. As their family grew, the couple became more inspired. They even co-authored a book called Friends: A Love Story in 2007. They talked about their insights as a married couple, shared what they had to go through personally and as a family, and their journey as actors.
