Particularly in Hollywood, maintaining a relationship may be difficult and
challenging. It might be challenging, but for those couples who truly put in
the work, juggling hectic work schedules and quality time together is
beneficial. Connie Chung and Maury Povich are one of the couples.
Povich, who was born on January 17, 1939, is most known for hosting the
chat program "Maury" on television. He started off as a radio reporter, but
soon after, he moved to host "A Current Affair," a tabloid entertainment
program. Povich quickly became the talk of the town when he debuted his own
program in 1991 and has remained on television ever since.
Chung, who was born on August 20, 1946, gained notoriety throughout her
tenure as a journalist and television anchor for several networks. She has
held positions at network stations, including MSNBC, NBC, and CBS. She even
continued to work with her spouse in 2006.
People are still learning that Povich and Chung are in a relationship, and
a committed one at that, even though they have been together for more than
40 years. The contented pair has experienced a great deal in their life,
both individually and together. They have even begun a lovely family
together.
Despite the fact that this might not be their first long-term partnership,
Povich and Chung appear to have something truly unique given their 43 years
of dating, 37 of which have been spent as spouses. Continue reading to learn
more about their lovely love tale.
Sensing the Flame
It appears like Povich and Chung have discovered the secret to a successful
relationship that will continue for decades on end. After 37 years of
marriage, the contented pair has been together for 43 years. Povich, 81,
stated in an interview with People in October 2020 that "there's no need for
any do-overs." Perhaps it explains why we are still together. In agreement,
Chung, 74, remarked, "I would go back and relive every moment."
Povich and Chung reportedly met over ten years before they started dating,
according to the Daily Mail. "He was a big star and I was just a kid in 1969
when I was a copygirl at a little TV station in Washington, D.C.," Chung
said to People. He had a very serious and stern demeanor. He didn't raise an
eye.
The former TV news presenter went on, "I couldn't help but imagine that
maybe one day he would accept me as a human being. After two years of
employment, I departed to pursue my profession, leaving him behind.
Thankfully, the two would eventually cross paths again six years later, so
this was not the last time they saw one another. Povich was brought on as a
co-anchor with Chung, who was employed as an anchor at a CBS affiliate
station in Los Angeles, California, according to the Daily Mail. Povich
joked, "I was the second banana to Connie."
But at the time, Povich was wed to Phyllis Minkoff, his first wife. The
pair was married from 1962 till 1979 and had two kids together.
Making It Work Although Povich lost his jobs six months later, the Daily
Mail claims that his relationship with Chung persisted. Povich remarked, "I
always said the way to get Connie's heart is that she pities you first, and
then she can love you." "She felt sorry for me because I lost my job."
Even though Povich and Chung's individual professions eventually became
more demanding, they were unable to ignore the attraction between them.
After divorcing his first wife in 1979, Povich married Chung six years
later. While Chung's professional endeavors were rather erratic, Povich has
been anchoring "Maury" since 1991.
Povich remarked, "We've always respected each other's space and values in
addition to our careers." Since then, the pair has spent 43 years together
and 37 of those years as a married couple, demonstrating the amount of work
they have put into creating a relationship that will last a lifetime.
According to the Daily Mail, they also adopted a 25-year-old son called
Matthew in 1995.
"Whatever discussions or arguments go on during the day, once the head hits
the pillow, it's over and not to be continued the next morning," Povich
responded when asked how they've managed to keep their marriage going for so
long. I am not thinking about it.
"That is really admirable, but I have grudges and I need to keep arguing it
out, whatever it is," Chung continued. Thankfully, it's evident that their
contrasts have complemented one another, creating a stunning union.
