They began their relationship while she was pregnant with another man’s child. They married a year later. They renew their vows annually on their anniversary, in a big party with famous friends and a new theme each year. In his new video “Secret” they’re pretty much naked in bed together. And did we mention that they’re really, really ridiculously good looking?
Follow the adventures—romantic and otherwise—of four music-biz wives and GFs on Married To Rock, Sundays at 10:30/9:30c.
Elson was best known as a British supermodel when she appeared in the White Stripes’ video for “Blue Orchid,” whereupon the video’s director “sensed an energy between them.” Two kids later, White recently produced Elson’s first album, The Ghost Who Walks. We can only assume that, unlike his first marriage to bandmate Meg White, Jack will never claim that Elson is his sister.
Two words: tantric sex. Sting might have been joking, or drunk, when he mentioned that he and the missus used yoga techniques to fuel eight-hour lovemaking sessions. But it's too late to deny it now, even if his teenager daughter has said it's untrue and embarrassing to her. So like it or not, this is the poster couple for marathon lovefests.
Britt Ekland, Alana Hamilton, Kelly Embert, Rachel Hunter, Penny Lancaster-Stewart... his conquests are legendary. Rod the Mod has been married three times and has fathered seven children with five different women. Ekland cemented his transition from heartfelt rocker to prancing showman, Hunter holds the record with a 16-year marriage, and his current wife, Lancaster-Stewart, is due to make him a new daddy at age 66. D'ya think he's sexy?
They were married in secret, and she stayed out of the spotlight for most of their 12-year union. But Sara inspired some of her hubby’s greatest songs: “Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” and “Love Minus Zero/No Limit” on the front end of their relationship, “Sara” and “Isis” on the back. And inspiring some of this guy’s greatest songs is no small feat.
How deep is the connection between the singer and his actress wife? Consider this: Ribisi and her twin brother Giovanni were delivered by her future husband's mother, Bibbi Hansen. But can we ignore the fact that that particular link is inextricably tied to Scientology, which both families practice? Because, to be honest, that part is a little creepy.
Yes, you can scoff—or cringe, knowing that the nude shot of John ‘n' Yoko that adorned the cover of their Two Virgins album is, let's say, significantly less comely than that video of Seal ‘n' Heidi rolling around in the buff. But if you're looking for passion and co-dependency and connection on a level so deep that it freaked some people out, you can't deny the confounding romance of these two crazy kids.
Back when Bowie was flirting with (or posing at) fashionable bisexuality, his first wife Angela claimed that she found him in bed with Mick Jagger. But his partner since 1990 has been the statuesque Somalian supermodel Iman, with whom the connection was so immediate that, he said, "I was naming the children the night we met." They soon got dual tattoos to cement things; hers was of a Bowie knife.
There's rock ‘n' roll steamy, and then there's Coldplay steamy—which is to say, a more refined and restrained steamy, between an Oscar-winning actress and a singer who PETA once dubbed the world's sexiest male vegetarian. He wrote songs like "Fix You" and "Moses" for her, and she got a C tattooed on her upper thigh.
Again, you may resist the concept of steaminess with these two—but check the record. Sharon met Ozzy when she was 18, took over his management before she was 30, engineered his solo career, married him and had his kids, negotiated the deal to put The Osbournes on MTV, and along the way put up with his drug use and assorted insanity. This is real devotion, folks.
