Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett and her husband Courtney Vance met when both were students at Yale University. The actors were just friends and lost touch soon after graduation. Years later, they bumped into each other and decided to go on a date. It wasn’t until their third date, however, that sparks flew. When Courtney proposed to Angela, they decided to abstain from sex until their wedding night and in 1997 – more than a decade after they first met – 39-year-old Angela Bassett married Courtney Vance and they’ve been together ever since. The couple struggled for seven years to have children and eventually a surrogate mother birthed twins Bronwyn Golden and Slater Josiah for the happy couple. Angela and Courtney co-authored a book about their love: Friends: A Love Story.
