7 Celeb Marriages That Were So Short They Barely Qualified And 8 We're Surprised Are Still Together

In the world of Hollywood, divorce attorneys should be almost as well-paid as celebrities. The rich and famous have interesting dating and marriage habits, which often results in breakups. One of the biggest problems is that-because of the paparazzi and the media-everything that celebrities do is shared publicly. This naturally leaves space for rumors, too. If somebody's fiancé is seen chatting with somebody else's girlfriend then there's lots of room for assumptions-which, in turn-lead to drama.

Some celebs have had insanely quick marriages. They're over before they started, and they probably weren't worth the time and money invested in wedding planning. Not to mention, there are a million of other celebrities available for the new singles to explore. What's holding these people back from sticking to one lover for their entire life? We aren't sure.

On the other hand, there are some stars who have maintained decent relationships with their significant others and who have been married for a pretty long time. These aren't world records of 75 years of marriage or anything like that. However, they are pretty impressive though, given the track records of many famous couples. Let's take a look at some crazy short marriages and compare them to some of the longest lasting ones in the limelight!

15 Barely Qualified: Britney Spears And Jason Alexander

Back in 2004, Britney Spears was in Las Vegas, living it up with a longtime pal-Jason Alexander-by her side. One thing led to another, and they ended up paying for a ceremony at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas. This was at 5 a.m. one day. The ceremony-which lasted a total of seven minutes-cost the pair $70. That's about what the marriage was worth, because they only stayed married for 55 hours.

The marriage quickly ended with Spears' people getting the wedding annulled. The short ceremony should have given us a warning that the marriage wouldn't last long at all! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Well, that doesn't necessarily apply here, because we will always remember this as one of the shortest marriages we've ever seen.

14 Surprised Are Still Together: Kelly Ripa And Marc Conseulos

Kelly Ripa and Marc Conseulos recently celebrated their 21 wedding anniversary back in May of 2017. They are both 46 years old, and their relationship seems to be going strong! They even shared some romantic posts about each other on Instagram, which is a true sign of relationship success nowadays.

We hope that Ripa and Conseulos can set an example for some of the other celebrities who don't know how to get it together and make a relationship work. From the looks of their pictures and the way that they talk about each other-we see this being a pretty long relationship-especially considering the longevity of most Hollywood couples. Back in 2013, Ripa talked about Conseulos-in an interview-and how she feels about him. She said, “He is the person I was meant to be with forever, and I think he feels the same way.” How sweet!

13 Barely Qualified: Carmen Electra And Dennis Rodman

Here we are met with another Vegas wedding! We're beginning to see a pattern here with these quick marriages, and we wonder if any wedding ceremonies done in Vegas have lasted more than a month or two. Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra got hitched in Vegas in November of 1998. This was at the Little Chapel of the Flowers-how beautiful does that sound?

Unfortunately, this marriage ended pretty badly. Rodman got an annulment quicker than some people get home from their honeymoons. After less than two weeks of marriage, he filed for the annulment. The divorce was finalized around six months afterwards. Rodman admitted that he “was of unsound mind” when the duo got married. We're pretty sure he means he was hammered, and we think Electra probably was too!

12 Surprised Are Still Together: David and Victoria Beckham

After nearly 20 years together, we'd expect to see some kind of drama. Somehow the Beckhams have got it figured out though, and nothing too nasty has happened between them. There was a cheating allegation against David, but-instead of causing more problems-Victoria took it as a way to keep growing in her relationship with her husband.

The pair has four kids now, and the sophisticated family basically lives on the covers of magazines. We're happy that David and Victoria have stayed strong for themselves and for their kids, but we are hopeful that their laid-back relationship brings the fans the motivation that they need in their own relationships!

11 Surprised Are Still Together: Rita Wilson And Tom Hanks

Another long-lasting relationship is the one between Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks. They've been together for longer than many of us can remember, and we're pretty impressed! Wilson and Hanks tied the knot in April 1988 and are still married to this day. How sweet is that? They seem to work really well together, making it a lot easier to maintain a relationship in the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.

Wilson and Hanks seem to have it all figured out, and they even share pretty openly about their relationship success. Victims of weeklong marriages should definitely take some notes from this couple who is just killing it! When Entertainment Tonight spoke with Tom Hanks about his marriage, he shared, “When we first looked at each other there was definitely a kind of, 'Hey, this is the place!' I felt that anyway. I think the end result is that we got married for all the right reasons.”

10 Barely Qualified: Katy Perry And Russell Brand

The matrimony between Katy Perry and Russell Brand was definitely short-lived-which is why it made this list-but it isn't quite as embarrassingly quick as some of the others. It also ended pretty cleanly as well, and it seemed fairly mutual. The pair got hitched in India in 2010. Just 14 months later, Perry and Brand filed for a divorce.

Later, Brand came out and spoke about this split. He brought up their busy lifestyles and crazy schedules. It makes a lot of sense, because he's an actor and she's a singer. This means that their individual days are jam-packed, so it is pretty obvious as to why they'd split. Brand still speaks kindly about Perry, which is a great sign! They've gone their separate ways, but there hasn't been any intense drama.

9 Surprised Are Still Together: Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith

One of Hollywood's favorite couples-Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith-has kept it together for a long time. They've been going strong for nearly 20 years-on New Year's Eve 2017 to be exact. Again, we are pretty impressed with the power of some couples and the extreme weakness that others have-especially when looking at celebrity relationships. It takes a lot to withstand the temptations and challenges of living in the spotlight.

Jada mentioned one of the couple's strengths in an interview: “People have to be married in a way that works. As couples, we really do have to see what is best for us.” These are some wise words by Jada, and we can definitely try to apply this to our everyday lives. It has clearly worked for the Smith family!

8 Barely Qualified: Bradley Cooper And Jennifer Esposito

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito tied the knot in December of 2006. The location sounds lovely, but that doesn't mean that the marriage was. The couple got married in the South of France. We are assuming that it was a lavish and beautiful event, and we're also guessing that lots of guests came to share their well-wishes on this pair's happy life together.

Well, that happy married life only withstood about four months, thanks to Cooper and Esposito. They split up after approximately 120 days. That's all they could handle of each other! In 2011, Cooper spoke out to Howard Stern about the divorce. He mentioned that, “The good thing is, we both realized it… Sometimes you just realize it.” We are glad that they noticed it before starting a family or digging too deeply into things!

7 Surprised Are Still Together: Goldie Hawn And Kurt Russell

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell never officially got hitched. They've been together for 34 years though, and they show no signs of slowing down!

The duo originally met on the set of The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. This movie was released back in 1968, and they kept in contact. At that point, the five-year age gap between them was too much, as Hawn was 21 and Russell was a young 16-year-old. That could have ended badly!

Hawn ended up marrying several other stars before settling down with Russell, and it turns out that Russell had a wife prior to Hawn as well. Finally, Hawn and Russell connected again at an audition, and the rest is history! This is one of those celeb couples who knows how to do marriage (or togetherness) right!

6 Barely Qualified: Mario Lopez And Ali Landry

The marriage between Mario Lopez and Ali Landry is an especially sticky situation. We all need to brace ourselves for the drama that's about to come next. Let's start off with a hard fact: Lopez and Landry were married from April 24 until May 12 of 2004. That's almost three weeks-how impressive! At the time, the reason behind the quick divorce was not shared with the public. We're beginning to wonder how much of it Landry actually knew at the time too.

Later, it was revealed that Lopez cheated on Landry at his bachelor party. On the bright side, Lopez did seem genuinely apologetic and owned up to his mistake. He also admitted that he didn't love Landry when he cheated on her. Maybe he should have fessed up prior to the wedding, though.

5 Surprised Are Still Together: Naomi Watts And Liev Schreiber

Though Naomi Watts and Liev Schrieber split earlier this year after 11 years together, they still had a pretty solid relationship. 11 years may not seem like a whole lot, but it really is when you consider the dating patterns of many of the those in the public eye. The relationship easily could have lasted a quick two months or a year.

Watts and Schrieber are still on decent terms, even though they've shared that they have both good days and bad days. They're doing their best though, especially as far as their kids are concerned. The former couple is trying to co-parent their children-which is surely an adjustment-but it probably helps to keep some peace in the relationships. They plan on continuing to maintain this relationship in order to provide for their kids!

4 Barely Qualified: Chad Michael Murray And Sophia Bush

Chad Michael Murray and his ex-wife Sophia Bush lasted a whole five months as a married couple. Something must have gone terribly wrong for it to end so abruptly, but we aren't really surprised. The couple got married in Santa Monica, and then five months later decided to separate. A little over a year later, the divorce became official.

From what we've heard, Murray and Bush don't have the best friendship to this day. Bush even admits that she should have avoided getting with Murray in the first place. She also mentions, "We were two stupid kids who had no business being in a relationship in the first place." We feel bad for Murray based upon this comment alone, but they're much better off going their separate ways! Not much has been revealed about the divorce itself.

3 Surprised Are Still Together: Pink And Carey Hart

Another celebrity couple has been married for 11 years as well-Pink and Carey Hart. The two celebrated their anniversary in January of 2017, which means they're even closer to 12 years now. They have two young kids together, and they seem to be keeping up the good work.

One thing we adore about this celeb couple is their honesty. Pink is very open about working hard to maintain relationships and not hiding her family's challenges. She just seems so real!

The pair did split for a little bit in 2008, but they are back together now and show no signs of slipping back at this point! It's super helpful for all of us to understand how to work effectively in a relationship and also to realize that not everything will be a literal piece of cake! It just takes two people who care about each other.

2 Barely Qualified: Kid Rock And Pamela Anderson

Last-but definitely not least-we have the amazingly tricky duo of Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock. Anderson has a pretty rocky relationship history, so the results of this marriage aren't too shocking. The two dated from 2001 until 2003-took a break-and got back to it in 2006. Shortly following their reunion, they got hitched on a yacht in St. Tropez. Their wedding was about two or three weeks after they got back together.

After being married for just 122 days, they ended up racing to court to file for a divorce. We don't see why they couldn't work this out calmly-but they are celebrities-and something serious probably just went down. When the two buzzed through the forms and papers, Kid Rock ended up getting it all done just 50 minutes ahead of Anderson!

1  Surprised Are Still Together: Julia Louis Dreyfus And Brad Hall

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is best known and loved by most of us as Elaine from Seinfeld. She's been married to actor and comedian Brad Hall for a long time now-30 whole years. They got hitched in the late '80s and have managed to keep all kinds of good things up! The pair originally met when Hall was casting Northwestern University students for a production. Louis-Dreyfus showed up, and they've been hitting it off since!

Louis-Dreyfus and Hall have two sons together as well! Hopefully they will pick up some of their parents' relationship secrets! 30 years is definitely something to celebrate anyway-but again-we see how rare this is for those celebs who find themselves on the red carpet. We're not surprised to see their marriage lasting so long-because of who they are-but it is pretty shocking due to the stereotypical Hollywood relationships we have seen.
