Amanda Holden, the beloved Britain's Got Talent judge, and her husband, music producer Chris Hughes, have been married for an impressive 17 years—a rarity in the world of celebrity relationships. The couple recently opened up about what keeps their bond strong after nearly two decades together.
The Secret to Their Long-Lasting Marriage
Holden, 52, and Hughes, 50, credit their successful marriage to mutual respect, laughter, and a strong partnership. "We’re best friends first," Holden revealed. "We make each other laugh every single day, and that’s the glue."
Balancing Careers and Family Life
Despite their busy schedules—Holden with her TV commitments and Hughes in the music industry—the couple prioritizes family time with their two daughters, Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11. "We’ve always made sure our family comes first," Hughes shared. "Even during the toughest times, we’ve stuck together."
Overcoming Challenges Together
The pair have faced their share of hardships, including Holden’s near-fatal childbirth complications in 2012. "Chris was my rock," she said. "Those moments either break you or make you stronger—thankfully, it was the latter for us."
Fans often praise the couple for their down-to-earth dynamic, proving that Hollywood marriages can indeed stand the test of time.
