Hollywood is not one of the places where people can find some "happily ever after." However, some of the stars managed to last long despite the related risks and temptations that come with their career and lifestyle.

Here are five celebrity couples that withstood the test of time.

1. Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan

The star of "Back to the Future" series and his wife have been married since 1988. Even after Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, the couple remained strong and overcame the challenge together. Fox said he even asked at one point why Pollan stayed despite his physical condition. He described her as his "rock."

2. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

The couple were married in 1988. In an article by Parade.com, Hanks always leaves sweet messages to his wife and lets her know where he is all the time, by taking photos using his phone. They have two sons together, Chet and Truman.

3. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

The two actors have been married for 26 years. According to Bacon, he easily misses his wife when they are not together. They communicate all the time and make each other laugh.

4. John Travolta and Kelly Preston

The two met way back in 1989 on the set of "The Experts." In an article by Life and Style Magazine, one of the keys to their long marriage is focusing on family. They take trips together and unwind as a family. They also make it a point to stay attractive to each other even after being together for years.

5. Will Smith and Jada-Pinkett

The power couple has been married for 16 years. Jada said that one of their secrets is trust. They have to develop their relationship into a grown one to develop a special kind of trust that make their bond truly last. They are also very hands-on with their children, guiding each to their future careers.

Many of these couples shared that trust and open communication made their relationship work and last. It is essential to keep each other updated regardless of how busy they get. Small but sweet things will also work.

All that said, it appears it really doesn't take much to keep a Hollywood relationship going strong. What do you think?
