ANGELA BASSETT AND COURTNEY B. VANCE – 23 YEARS

Angela Bassett and fellow actor Courtney B. Vance have been together for 23 years. They met at Yale Drama School. At first, they were not lovers, but friends. They first dated in 1994, married in 1997, and met twins Bronwyn Golden and Slater Josiah through surrogacy in January 2006. When it comes to the secret of a long-term marriage, Bassett says it’s “marry the right person and allow your partner enough freedom.”

The couple is familiar faces on the screen, and Bassett was seen almost every year in the 1990s. If Bassett has American Horror Story, Vance has American Crime Story. Aside from being a mainstay on AHS, Bassett can also be seen in ’9-1-1’, ‘ Avengers: Endgame.’ The two are still actively working in the entertainment industry to provide for their family, as well as to pay for their home insurance.
