ERIC BRAEDEN AND DALE RUSSELL GUDEGAST

He might be best known for bad boy roles, especially on The Young and the Restless, but in real life, Eric Braeden is one loyal husband. In fact, he has been married to Dale Russell Gudegast for over five decades now. In 1966, Eric married his college sweetheart—just like a love story straight from the movies. Fitting, since Dale is an actress herself, having appeared in the film Holiday in the Sun. Eric and Dale have been blessed with only one son, Christian, and is now a successful screenwriter.

It is fun to have a successful family in the entertainment industry because Christian also gets advice and insights from his outstanding father. Perhaps one of the most admirable things about the couple is that they remain expressive of their love and appreciation for each other, which is essential for a marriage to work well. The degree of which is undoubtedly enviable!
