Unfortunately, it took people a long time to take the Sterns' relationship very seriously. The problem? Howard's short-lived, albeit notorious playboy lifestyle.

"After my divorce, I realized, 'Oh wow, I can go have sex,'" he told Rolling Stone in 2011. "And I was running around, picking up women. Then all of a sudden, it dawned on me that I really didn't need that much sex. I just wanted somebody with me every minute. I was using women as a surrogate mother. When I tapped into that, it suddenly became very childish behavior."

Of course, he'd cleaned up his act by the time he hit it off with Beth shortly after. But no one really believed it would last until they finally tied the knot eight years later.

"Things changed when we got married," Stern continued. "Everyone before was like, 'Oh, are you Howard Stern's blonde bimbo that hangs out with him?' But suddenly, when we were married, it was like, 'Oh, this is Howard's wife.' And that was important to me. Part of the reason I got married was that I wanted Beth to understand how important she is and also how equal I feel she is to me."
