Celebrity Couples Who Called It Quits After 20-Plus Years Together
Ben Vereen
Actor Ben Vereen met and married his wife Nancy Bruner Vereen in July 1976. The couple was together for 36 years of wedded bliss but all good things must come to an end apparently. The 66-year-old award-winning actor filed for divorce last September, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause for the split. Best known for his role in the miniseries “Roots” and the uncle of the chubby-cheeked title character on the 80’s sitcom “Webster,” Vereen also asked the court to eliminate spousal support. This was Vereen’s second marriage.
