Magic Johnson and Cookie Johnson

Basketball icon Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie have been together since 1977, making them the longest-lasting couple on our list and likely the longest-lasting couple in the NBA. During his college years, Magic was a campus celebrity, with every guy wanting to be him and every girl wanting to date him. Despite this, Cookie never thought she had a chance with him.

However, she was proven wrong! The college sweethearts dated for over a decade before finally getting married in 1991. As with any couple, their relationship has had its ups and downs, but their love has ultimately endured. They welcomed their son in 1992 and later adopted a daughter four years later.
