The Most Iconic Politician Couples That Are Still Together
Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter, 75 Years
If you want to be enthused by a long-lasting love story, go no further than the relationship between former US President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter. On July 7, 1946, they married in Plains, a hamlet of fewer than 1,000 people. They celebrated their 75th anniversary in July 2021.
Rosalynn turned down Jimmy’s initial proposal because she had promised her father that she would finish her education first. She did, and after graduating from Georgia Southwestern College, she married the politician. Carter, the former first lady, celebrated her birthday on August 18, 2021, more than 40 years after the former President stepped down from the White House.
