Boy Meets World star William Daniels and wife Bonnie Bartlett are living proof that Hollywood marriages can last, with a love story spanning more than seven decades.

The twosome met while studying acting at Northwestern University and tied the knot in 1951. Despite their commitment to each other, the duo has been candid about facing struggles during their relationship.

“So much happens and you live … you hurt each other,” Bartlett told Forbes in March 2022. “We’ve hurt each other but you recover and you grow and you change and you adapt. You have to be able to adapt to the other person. You have to think of them first. It doesn’t happen overnight. It took us years to get to a real companionship marriage.”

The couple also endured a tragic loss. In 1961, the Twins actress gave birth to their son William Jr., who died 24 hours later. However, Daniels and Bartlett were determined to be parents, and they adopted sons Michael and Robert in 1964 and 1966, respectively.

Keep scrolling for a look at Daniels and Bartlett’s relationship over the years:

1951

The pair tied the knot after meeting as acting students at Northwestern University.

During a December 2020 interview with Forbes, Daniels recalled how he asked his wife out for the first time.

“I waited for her at the door of the classroom until she came by, and I said, ‘How about a cup of coffee?’ And she said, ‘You’re too short.’ I said, ‘Come on, have a cup of coffee.’ She said, ‘OK.’ Turns out, she heard I had been on Broadway. She had been following me around campus and I didn’t even know it.”

1959

In her 2023 memoir, Middle of the Rainbow, Bartlett revealed that she had “an affair that lasted a few months” with an actor who was “slightly boring” around 1959.

“I never felt guilty because I never felt tied to fidelity, and neither did Bill,” she wrote.

1961

Bartlett gave birth to the couple’s first child, son William Jr., but the newborn died just 24 hours later.

1964

The actors adopted son Michael.

1966

Daniels and Bartlett completed their family with the adoption of their son Robert.

1970s

In Middle of the Rainbow, the Wisconsin native wrote that her husband’s affair with a New York-based producer in the early 1970s left her “devastated.”

At that point, she changed her outlook on their relationship and realized that she “could no longer tolerate any kind of open marriage.”

1980s

The pair played real-life married couple Dr. Mark Craig and Ellen Craig on the medical drama St. Elsewhere, which ran from 1982 to 1988.

In 1986, Daniels and Bartlett both won Emmy awards for the show on the same night, becoming the first married couple to do so since Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in 1965.

1990s

The Northwestern University alums got to share the screen again when Bartlett played a college dean who employed her husband’s character (George Feeny) in Boy Meets World. Their characters later got married in a 1999 episode.

During a December 2022 interview with Forbes, Bartlett shared that it was hard for her husband to grasp why Mr. Feeny is so beloved by fans of the coming-of-age sitcom.

“He doesn’t understand why people love him that much. He really doesn’t understand it,” the V alum said.

2000s

The duo continued to be at each other’s side as they pursued different acting opportunities. Daniels appeared in the ninth season of Grey’s Anatomy in 2012 and reprised his role as Mr. Feeny in the pilot episode of the Boy Meets World spinoff, Girl Meets World. Bartlett, for her part, guest starred on shows including General Hospital, Boston Legal and NCIS.

2015

Daniels shared a photo via Twitter of him with his wife, sons and grandchildren.

“Bonnie, the boys and the grandkids over Easter weekend,” the New York native captioned the snap.

2016

“Workout Wednesday! Every week, my wife, Bonnie, and I hit our little gym,” the Knight Rider alum captioned an October Instagram photo of him and Bartlett on exercise machines. “She’s faster than me,” he added.”

2018

The St. Elsewhere alums took a trip to New York City together in May.

“I got to show off my California tulip to the New York tulips a few weeks ago. They didn’t stand a chance,” Daniels captioned an Instagram picture of him and Bartlett sitting beside a flower garden.

2018

The married couple were nearly the victims of a home robbery in October, but they managed to inadvertently scare the perpetrator away.

“We were asleep and I heard bang, bang, bang. … I lit the light and Bonnie screamed and this person fled and that’s the whole damn story,” Daniels explained during a Good Morning America interview the day after the incident.

“We were stunned,” Bartlett added. “Nothing like that has ever happened.”

2020

The twosome opened up about their relationship during a December interview with Forbes.

“I think our relationship is based on mutual respect and I think she is smarter than me [and a] better actor than me, so I just hang on and try to get along,” Daniels told the outlet.

2021

Daniels shared snaps of him and Bartlett celebrating their granddaughter Grace’s high school graduation.

“Feeling proud never ends with this family of mine. A huge congrats to my granddaughter Grace for graduating high school and heading off to NYU in the fall. I’ll try not to follow you there 😉,” he captioned the June Instagram post.

The Boy Meets World cast found their respective matches after appearing in the hit sitcom. William Daniels, who took on the role of Mr. Feeny, set an example of a lasting Hollywood romance when he married Bonnie Bartlett in 1951. After meeting as students at Northwestern University, the couple took the next step and eventually […]

2022

The Emmy winners spoke to Forbes in March in honor of Daniels’ 95th birthday.

When asked about the secret to their long-lasting marriage, the Graduate actor replied, “What you really have to do is learn to respect the other person and their feelings and try to be as easy to live with as you possibly can.”

2023

Bartlett candidly wrote about her and Daniels having “an open marriage at first” in her memoir, Middle of the Rainbow.

Although the Golden Girls alum described the arrangement as “very painful” for both her and her husband, she explained that the experience helped them grow.

“When we got together, I was 18. Bill was my first boyfriend,” she explained. “We just had to go through all that and still, we loved each other very much and always have.”

2024

Daniels and Bartlett celebrated 73 years of wedded bliss in June at their respective ages of 97 and 95.

“It seems like we’re breaking records,” Bartlett told People on June 30, the date of their anniversary. “I mean, we both broke a record when we got the Emmys on the same night for the same show. That was a record breaker, nobody had ever done that. Now, it seems like in Hollywood there are no marriages that are 73 years old, so we seem to break records.”

She added, “We never thought about it at all. It’s very kind of unimportant to us, but it’s important to other people.”

Daniels described his wife as a “very competent woman,” telling People, “She’s smart, and I leave a lot of things up to her. She’s kind of in charge of all the business, all the money, all of that. She takes care of that.”

The couple planned to celebrate their anniversary with family. “It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s family,” Bartlett said. “We’ll have a good time with all of them, all [the] people that we love.”

2025

Before celebrating 74 years of marriage, Daniels shared a glimpse into why his decades-long relationship with Barlett has been so successful.

“Hard to believe this coming Monday marks our 74th wedding anniversary. And yet I shouldn’t be surprised!” Daniels wrote via Instagram on June 25. “Bonnie has been the most brilliant pillar in my life and when I met her, I knew that was it us until the end. Our granddaughter made this t-shirt design in honor of our commitment to each other and it’s currently available in our shop!”

2026

Bartlett further clarified her and Daniels’ “open marriage” dynamic three years after revealing details about their past.

“There was never any discussion as to what we were going to do, but in 75 years, the two of you together, you know, it would be abnormal if you … weren’t attracted occasionally to other people,” she told the Daily Mail in May 2026.

She said it was a “non-spoken” rule in their relationship.

“We never sit down and talk about these things. We just don’t. We just live our lives. And if he’s away for a year, he’s away for a year,” she continued. “Our lives just went on, but we never got unhinged. … But our lives did go in different directions occasionally.”

After years — if not decades — of rumors and conjecture, there is increased speculation that Taylor Swift could finally play the Super Bowl Halftime Show thanks to some major news announced by the NFL.

The league announced on Tuesday, May 19, that Super Bowl 64, set for 2030, will be held in Nashville’s new Nissan Stadium, which is scheduled for completion in February 2027.

Swift, 36, is a Pennsylvania native, but her career got started in Nashville as a teenager and aspiring country music singer. In a town dubbed “Music City,” which champions its myriad of artists that have come through over the years, it only makes sense that fans would guess that Swift’s long-awaited Super Bowl debut could come at the soon-to-open Nissan Stadium.

While there is no direct evidence that Swift will perform on American sports’ biggest stage in 2030 — or any time before that — the idea seems to suit her particularly well as someone who constantly gives nods to her loved ones and favorite things through easter eggs in her songs, interviews and social media posts.

Taylor Swift is clearly putting her football knowledge, courtesy of boyfriend Travis Kelce, to use during The Eras Tour. During her Friday, October 25, concert in New Orleans, Swift, 34, subtly tweaked her “Midnight Rain” choreography. When she sang, “He never thinks of me / except when I’m on TV,” the pop star pantomimed throwing […]

“The idea of the global superstar returning to the city where her career began for one of the biggest entertainment spectacles on Earth feels almost too perfect,” The Tennessean’s Bryan West wrote on Tuesday.

Swift has addressed possibly headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in the past, including last October when she had to shut down rumors that she turned down the gig for February 2026’s Super Bowl LX.

“Here’s the thing. Jay-Z has always been very good to me. Our teams are really close,” she explained in an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. (Jay-Z’s Roc Nation produces the halftime show.)

She continued, “They sometimes will call and say, ‘How does she feel about [mumbles]?’ And that’s not, like, an official offer or a conference room conversation. Our teams are really close. ‘How does she feel about it in general?’ And we’re always able to tell him the truth, which is that I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field.”

Justin Herbert is fresh off a stellar performance against Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 of the NFL season, and the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback has delivered one more blow to the star tight end. Herbert, 27, revealed his pick for who he believes will perform at the Super Bowl LX halftime show […]

Swift also joked that it didn’t make as much sense to perform at halftime while her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is still active.

“Can you imagine if, like, he’s out there every single week putting his life on the line doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport and I’m like, ‘I wonder what my choreo should be,’” she joked“‘I think we should do two verses of ‘Shake It Off’ into ‘Blank Space’ into ‘Cruel Summer.’”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has also weighed in on the possibility, calling Swift “a special, special talent.”

“Obviously she would be welcome at any time” Goodell, 67, said during a September 2025 appearance on Today.

“I can’t tell you anything about that,” he said, when asked if the league was planning something with her. “It’s a maybe.”

When asked about potential halftime show performers on Tuesday, Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp CEO Deana Ivey said she “might get in trouble if I start naming people.”

“We are a city full of entertainers in all kinds of music,” Ivey added. “Not just country music, even though that’s what we’re known for. So I would hope to have a good, diverse lineup for the halftime show. And all Nashville locals.”

Anne Hathaway will not let any detail pass her by when it comes to her craft.

The actress revealed a pre-production ritual she swears by and how it may come across as overbearing to some directors and producers, but it is ultimately for the growth of her brand.

Anne Hathaway’s acting career began at the age of 18 when she featured in Garry Marshall’s 2001 comedy flick “The Princess Diaries.”

The actress gave a close look into her creative process and how she spends the days, minutes, and hours leading up to production, frantically researching and studying the script. 

Hathaway confessed that her very inquisitive nature can be frustrating for filmmakers and producers sometimes.

She added that she usually stays ahead of the curve by explaining to directors who have not had any contact with her before that she is quite the investigator. In her words:

“Like everything, even lines that I absolutely love, I just ask every single question. I hold everything up to the light. I poke holes in everything. And I think it I know for a fact it’s freaked some of them out.”

Hathaway continued on The A24 Podcast on Tuesday that her attitude is usually for the best because she wants to execute the vision of the producer and director to a tee by knowing every single detail. 

The ‘Eileen’ Actress Defied A Terrible Prediction For Her Career

In 2023, Hathaway granted an interview to Variety, discussing some truths about the industry and the warnings she received as a teen actor about the possibility of her career growing past a certain age as a woman in Hollywood.

She recalled being told that her career would fall off at the age of 35, which was accurate for a lot of women until recently, when they began breaking the mold, which is heartwarming news to her. Despite this progress, Hathaway shared that there is still a long way to go.

Hathaway also spoke about acting and how her career leaves her with a sweet feeling, knowing that she gets to be a part of moments where people feel comfort, excitement, and connection with the project being showcased.

Anne Hathaway Revealed How Toxic Fans Almost Cost Her Roles

Two years ago, ABC News noted that Hathaway gave iconic director Christopher Nolan his flower for keeping her career back on track when he cast her in his hit 2014 movie “Interstellar.”

She described Nolan as an angel she needed at that point in her life due to the beautiful role he gave to her, leaving an effect on her career by helping it sustain momentum.

Hathaway stated that Nolan’s actions did what they were supposed to do, and for that, he feels genuinely grateful.

The actress affirmed that Nolan’s casting of her also happened at the right time, when directors were so concerned about the toxicity attached to her online image and would not give her roles.

Hathaway’s criticism peaked online right after she won an Oscar for her role in “Les Misérables” in 2013, which earned her several knocks online.

As stated by The Blast, Hathaway spurred rumors of getting work done on her face following her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala ceremony in New York City.

She was also named the Most Beautiful Woman for People magazine with her appearance as the May cover star. 

In the interview, Hathaway was asked to define what beauty means to her, to which she gave an unconventional response, repeating a candid statement she heard from a fellow Hollywood star.

“A filmmaker once told me this: Beauty can contain within its ugliness as long as it contains truth. So for me, beauty always falls along those lines,” the actress declared.

Aside from her unusual definition of beauty, Hathaway also praised her personal trainer for putting in the work via private lessons, including ballet, HIIT, Pilates, and yoga.

Anne Hathaway Condemned The Unhealthy Fixation On Her Weight In The Past

The iconic actress further noted during an interview in the past that she struggled with the toxic fixation on her weight after her breakout role as Catwoman in “The Dark Knight Rises.”

Starring opposite Christian Bale in the 2012 Nolan blockbuster, she discusses that the public conversation centered more on her weight than the strength her very demanding role required.

According to the actress, the director clarified before filming that his priority was not weight loss, but ensuring she was physically capable of performing the movie’s challenging stunts.

Hathaway recalled embarking on extensive training to master stunts, including a mean backward flip out of a window.

The actress, however, praised her husband, Adam Shulman, for constantly supporting her and keeping things steady on the home front while she killed it on sets.
