Cheryl Ladd & Brian Russell -40 Years Together

By the time Cheryl Ladd divorced her first husband, David Ladd, she had already built her brand around the name and couldn’t change it. This is why she still has her ex-husbands last name despite being married to her current one for 40 years.

She married music producer Brian Russell in 1981, a year after her divorce was finalized. They each brought a child into the marriage and haven’t had any more together. Russell is a published author, while Ladd is a celebrity ambassador for Childhelp, a child abuse prevention and treatment organization. Ladd was last featured in a 2020 Christmas movie called Christmas Unwrapped.
