With a long list of accomplishments, Ron Howard has established himself in Hollywood as a notable actor, director, and producer. At age 68, the icon serves as a mentor and an inspiration to a number of up-and-coming performers.
Though Ron has put in a lot of effort to become successful, his wife Cheryl Howard is the unique supporter behind him. Even though the couple has been together for for 50 years, their love story began when they were only teenagers.
They initially saw each other when they were 16 years old and in the eleventh grade. According to Ron, there was a connection right away. The pair eventually went on their first date on November 1, 1970, after briefly connecting.
On November 1, 2017, nearly 47 years after the event, Ron commemorated it by posting a nice picture of him and Cheryl sharing an embrace in a charming setting on Twitter.

Without a doubt, Ron and Cheryl’s first date is a day they will never forget.
Even after being together for more than 40 years, the couple’s enthusiasm for dating has not wavered. The pair still enjoys each other’s company and goes out on dates.
On November 26, 2021, Ron uploaded an image of Cheryl and him in London. Cheryl leaned into her partner’s arms as the two smiled broadly and appeared satisfied.

The power couple enjoys lunch dates, and Ron never misses an opportunity to capture these moments and post them to social media.
The couple can also be seen enjoying time together while having a walk with their adorable dog in other photos that have appeared on Ron’s Instagram page.
It is amazing to see Ron and Cheryl so happy and in love after over 50 years of marriage. On July 7, 2022, the couple have been married for 47 years. They did not elaborate on the celebration.
Over the years, Ron has been outspoken about his lasting marriage. He has talked about how lucky he feels to have found his partner and the mysteries surrounding their happy union.
Lifetime marriages like Ron and Cheryl’s have their secrets, and for the two of them, communication is essential and there is no other way, according to Ron.
