Actress Helen Mirren, known for her stunning hairstyles, believes there is something special that has kept her marriage to husband Taylor Hackford strong. Helen and Taylor tied the knot nearly three decades ago, in 1997, after meeting for the first time on the set of the film White Nights in 1985. Despite the many years that have passed since their first encounter, they are still happily married.
Over the years, 79-year-old Helen has often spoken about their long-lasting relationship, expressing gratitude for finding love later in life and praising Taylor for helping her understand the true meaning of âpartnership.â Helen has also shared her theory on how their marriage has withstood the test of time. While it may not seem typical for happy couples, it could be exactly what they needed.
Due to Helenâs work as a globally recognized actress and Taylorâs career as a film director, the couple has spent many years working in different parts of the world for extended periods. According to Helen, this aspect of their relationship played a crucial role in preserving their bond.
âIâve always believed thatâs why weâre still together: because we spent so much time apart, we were always so happy to see each other.â
However, the value of time spent apart doesnât mean the couple doesnât cherish the time they spend together. In fact, the lockdown provided Helen and her husband with a long-awaited opportunity to truly enjoy each otherâs company.
