There are plenty of celebrity couples that have lasted over 20 years.

Many of these famous couples - from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel - have gone through various transformations over their decades-spanning relationships.
From then to now, here's how these long-lasting celebrity couples have grown over time.
