For Will Smith and his leading lady Jada Pinkett Smith, two kids and well over a decade of marriage are definitely worth celebrating… with a high-five and encouraging words like, “We survived another year, homie! Yeah!” according to Jada Pinkett. Come December, 15 years will have passed since the Hollywood parents exchanged their vows in a secret New Years Eve ceremony in 1997. The Madagascar 3 star credits much of their long-lasting marriage to being “the best of friends,” telling People at the movie’s premiere, “You have to be there for each other. That’s how you build great relationships.” Despite years of speculation and recent rumors that Mr. and Mrs. Smith are experiencing marital problems, the pair continues to go strong.

When Carrie Underwood decided to team up with Brad Paisley on their single, ‘Remind Me,’ she probably didn’t expect the fellow country singer to be competition … for her husband! At Wednesday night’s CMT Music Awards, Underwood accepted her first award for collaborative video of the year with Paisley, whom her hockey player husband, Mike Fisher, hugged first, according to People. The surprised five-time nominee played it cool and jokingly asked the Nashville audience, “Did you see my husband hug him first?” Fisher may have been too caught up in the bromance, but he didn’t miss his opportunity to show some love to his rock star wife when she won video of the year.
