The Most Iconic Politician Couples That Are Still Together
Jay Leno and Mavis Leno, 41 Years
Jay Leno has been married to his wife, Mavis Nicholson, since 1980. He is known for his love of cars, but his most important devotion is to Mavis, his wife. In 1976, they met at the Los Angeles Comedy Store, where Leno was performing. Despite their long relationship, Leno admitted in a 2014 interview with the Los Angeles Times that their marriage was not passionate.
Because they had recently bought a house, he didn’t even get Mavis an engagement ring until years later. They married instead because Jay had his insurance coverage and wanted Mavis to be covered. Their wedding was modest, with only a few friends in attendance.
