Elton John & David Furnish – 26 Years

After more than 25 years together, Elton John and David Furnish have come to represent unwavering love. At a dinner party that Elton John personally threw in 1993, their story started. The spark between them was evident even though their lifestyles at the time were very different—David had just turned 31 and led a very different life from Elton’s. When same-sex marriage became legal in the UK in 2014, they eagerly got married after dating for 12 years before Elton proposed. The couple added two sons to their family: Zachary, born through surrogacy in 2010, and Elijah, born through surrogacy in 2013.
