Brian Wilson & Melinda Ledbetter: 25 Years and Counting
In 1986, Beach Boy Brian Wilson met Melinda Kae Ledbetter, a car saleswoman, and the two hit it off. They got married almost a decade later in 1995. It took some time to tie the knot because, after their first three years of dating, she ended the relationship. But, by 1992, they reconnected and rekindled their romance. Three years later, it was official.

During an interview with ABC News, Wilson had said that it was pretty much love at first sight when he met Melinda at the Cadillac dealership. Ledbetter chimed in and added that he was nice, and that’s what attracted her to him. She said how eventually she understood that his first love was his music and that she was okay with coming in second place. She supports him all the way!
