10 Celebrities Who Found Love Over 40

In popular culture, there’s a notion that love is for young people. It’s in everything we watch on television, all the books we read and across every conceivable platform, but it’s quite removed from reality.

The truth of the matter is, people fall in love at all ages, and being single over 40 means nothing other than the fact that you’ve not met the right person yet. That’s true for everyday people like you and I, and it’s true for celebrities too. Yes, that’s right, even those with the world at their fingertips don’t always find love early.

In celebration of that fact, we’ve decided to put together this list of 10 celebrities who got married over 40. Let’s dig in:

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi – Ellen (of Ellen and Finding Nemo fame) married long-time partner Portia de Rossi (Arrested Development) at the age of 50 in 2008, proving that good love is well worth the wait.

Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner – The former Spice Girl and Red Bull Racing chief tied the knot in 2015, when Gerri was 42 and Christian was 41, in a stunning ceremony.

Elton John and David Furnish – One of the most recognisable couples on the world, Elton John and David Furnish waited until December 2014 to get married to celebrate their ninth year of their civil partnership.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka – NPH (How I Met your Mother) might play the lothario on screen, but in real life he’s married to actor and professional chef David Burtka, and the two are very much in love. They exchanged vows in Italy in September 2014, when Harris was 41 and Burtka was 40.
