Through Thick and Thin
The couple met in 1990 and stuck by each other, for the most part. The high school sweethearts have had some ups and downs. They also faced divorce in 2004. Snoop served the papers for “irreconcilable differences.” All that came to a close when Snoop surprised Shante and renewed their vows in 2008 in front of 200 guests.
When MTV asked Snoop about the divorce, he said, “I was trying to get a divorce, but I went back home, and I fell back in love with my wife and kids.” He also revealed how he got into that situation in the first place. “A lot of times you get cloudy. This music industry is a mother, and it’ll take your vision and blur it. But God is good, so I understand that I need my wife and my kids in my life—so I threw the papers away.”
Both Had Serious Relationships in Between
“I almost married someone else, and she did too,” Thomas explained during a CBS This Morning interview. It was Lauren’s dad who intervened. Thomas’ future father-in-law told him, under no uncertain terms, “If you don’t come over here tonight and tell Lauren how you feel about her, then I’m going to tell her how you feel about her.”
As soon as Lauren broke her engagement, Thomas said he went for it. He “moved in for the kill,” he said. Adding, “We kissed and that was it. We dated for probably six months, and we got engaged.”She’s been an inspiration for his hit songs “Marry Me” and “Die a Happy Man.” The chart-topping country tunes share their special love story. Thomas says, “We love to let people in on our lives and be an example of what it means to be in love.”
Snoop Dogg Is Smitten With His High School Sweetheart
Shante Taylor and Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. were teenagers when they met. They became boyfriend-girlfriend and went to prom together long before Snoop Dogg rapped himself a hip hop fortune.
They married in 1997, which means they have more than two decades together under their belt. Their first son arrived in 1994, and they now share three children.
Marie Osmond and Steve Craig Met in the 80s
The showbiz diva married Steve Craig in 1982. He was a Brigham Young basketball star who went on to play professional ball in the NBA. But their marriage only lasted three years.
At the time, Osmond said that she'd never met anyone who she respected and loved more than Steve.
The Couple Remarried in 2011
With one marriage and seven kids in between, Marie Osmond and Steve Craig re-tied the knot. They were involved in a secret relationship for two years before the wedding pictures came out. Marie wore the same wedding gown she wore when they first exchanged vows. She also showed off both rings.
Craig bought the original ring from an estate in France, and the new one sparkles with an eight-carat Asher diamond. Osmond was 51 when she remarried. Struggling with depression and the death of her 18-year-old child, it was Craig who was at her side helping her cope.
