Mark Harmon will be celebrating 32 years of marriage to actress Pam Dawber next month — an impressive milestone in general and certainly by Hollywood standards.
So how did they do it? In an interview with People, the “NCIS” star said their age when they married (both were 35) could have something to do with their longevity as a couple.
“We were both in our thirties when we got married, so hopefully the stupid stuff we did earlier,” Harmon told the magazine. “That’s probably the closest I have to what the key is.”
The couple has long been private about their life together.
“It’s not even a choice. It’s who we are. We stay home. A lot,” Harmon told TV Insider in 2017. “I’m not a Twitter guy or a Facebook guy. Our sons aren’t into that either. Pam and I have both made a living in this business, and still, there’s a part of that that’s just not natural.”

During the interview with People, Harmon was asked about the eagle-head ring he was wearing on his left ring finger (he believes it once belonged to his grandfather).
“I wear it or a few others I have because when I’m not shooting, I like to make sure I have something on my ring finger, because I’m proud to be married, and I’m proud of who I’m married to,” Harmon said of Dawber. “I’m just so proud of her.”

Victoria and David Beckham never fail to impress us with their sharp sense of style, but there was a time way back in the day when they made some questionable choices.

Justin and Hailey Bieber
Justin and Hailey Bieber don't always wear coordinated outfits, but when they do, they really go all in. During a trip to London last year, they were both spotted wearing sweats. Naturally, Justin wore tie-dye — keeping his outfit in line with the surfer vibes he's been giving off as of late — while Hailey went for a monochromatic set.
Cara Delevingne and St. Vincent
St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) and Cara Delevingne's relationship may have been short-lived, but they definitely packed a stylish punch when they were together. Case in point: the matching outfits they wore to sit front-row at Burberry's spring 2016 show in London.

Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston
