11) Chris O’Donnell & Caroline Fentress

Sometimes, puppy love lasts. Though they started as college sweethearts at Boston College, this couple married in 1997.

Fentress, an elementary school teacher, has stood with O’Donnell throughout his rise to fame and the two continue to go strong!

After playing Robin in Batman Forever and, subsequently, in Batman & Robin, O’Donnell took a break to focus on his personal life.

He was 27 when they got married, and their first child was born two years later in 1999. That year, O’Donnell returned to the silver screen in The Bachelor, Vertical Limit, and Cookie’s Fortune.

The family has since expanded and they now have five children: three boys (Chip, Charley, and Finley) and two girls (Lily and Maeve). They also have a black lab, Kimmy.

In 2007, they broke ground on their custom-designed home and it was ready for move-in in the Spring of 2011.
