Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston have a love story straight out of Hollywood. Tying the knot on June 5, 1977, they’ve spent 48 wonderful years together, raising three daughters: Isabelle, Jessica, and Haley. Now 74, Jeff recently shared the secrets of their enduring marriage ahead of the 49th Chaplin Award Gala.
“Don’t get a divorce. Treat ups and downs as challenges and opportunities,” he advised. Susan chimed in, “Keep it fun.” This playful yet profound wisdom encapsulates their relationship perfectly.
Their romance began in 1975 on the set of Rancho Deluxe. Jeff, filming in Paradise Valley, Montana, was immediately smitten by Susan, a waitress with two black eyes and a broken nose. Her beauty, paired with this unexpected toughness, captivated him. Despite his initial nerves and her initial rejection, fate brought them together at the film’s wrap party, where a dance ignited their lifelong love.
