They’ve been married for nearly 50 years. ❤️High school is when some of us discover love.

It’s a time when you’re slowly maturing and learning about relationships.

Some people believe that high school love fades away over time because you feel it when you are so young.

However, there are those who would argue that their high school love ended up being their true love.

One of these couples is Ron Howard and his wife, the legendary actor, director, and producer.

He has been in the industry for decades, and his accomplishments have inspired many aspirants who want to make it big in Hollywood.

Ron Howard has many awards and wins, but meeting the woman he would spend the rest of his life with is one of his most amazing victories.

Ron relived the moment through an Instagram post 47 years after their first date.
He shared a photo of him and Cheryl sweetly hugging each other, with a stunning view behind them.

Even after nearly five decades of marriage, their happy faces show that they are still madly in love with each other.

In fact, the couple continues to go on dates.

They will have fun together and keep their love alive through the moments they share with each other despite having four children.

In a more recent post, Ron also shared a photo of him and his wife having a good time in London.
