Gene Hackman & Betsy Arakawa – 28 Years

Gene Hackman is one of the most respected personalities in Hollywood. He is a retired actor and novelist whose career spanned more than six decades. With his passion for acting burning ever so brightly since he was just ten years old, it comes as no surprise that Gene eventually made it big in the film industry. During his time under the spotlight, the actor was nominated for five Academy Awards and won Best Actor in The French Connection and Best Supporting Actor in Unforgiven. He also won four Golden Globes, one SAG Award, and two BAFTAs. After his retirement, he even wrote a few fictional novels, including Wake of the Perdido Star and Escape from Andersonville.

After finalizing his separation from Fay Maltese in 1986, thanks to his attorneys, he once again got married in 1991 to Besty Arakawa. They remain happily in love with each other for 28 years already. Although the two don’t have a child together, Gene was blessed with three children from his previous relationship.
