Larry Bird & Dinah Mattingly – 34 Years

Behind the success of legendary basketball player and NBA executive Larry Bird is his wife, Dinah Mattingly, who has supported him since his early days in the league. The two were college sweethearts, having met in college in the late 1970s and tied the knot in 1989 in an intimate ceremony that only their closest family and friends attended.

She has been a loyal companion throughout the years, and the happy duo adopted two children, Mariah and Connor. While the spotlight has always been on Bird, Mattingly prefers to stay out of the spotlight, which is probably why their relationship works.
