KEITH RICHARDS AND PATTI HANSEN

It is true then that marriage can be strengthened with trials, most especially if it requires immediate care and understanding due to life and death situation. Take Keith Richards and Patti Hansen as examples. They were struck by tragic but remained true to their vows to present. Nearly 40 years and a battle against cancer—twice—but they’ve managed to come out the other side each time. Keith Richards might be part of The Rolling Stones, but the real rockstar in this family is his wife, Patti Hansen.

Needless to say, this brave woman deserves plenty of credit. The two first met at Patti’s twenty-third birthday party at the famed Studio 54. It was love at first sight for the couple, and they remained inseparable since— eventually getting wed in Mexico back in 1983. Eventually, they left the rock and roll lifestyle behind to settle down with their two children who are doing great as a model just like their mom.
