Hollywood, CA – April 30, 2025 —
After more than four decades together, TV icon Maury Povich and legendary journalist Connie Chung are revealing their secrets to a lasting Hollywood marriage — and surprisingly, they don’t agree on what works!
In a candid and light-hearted interview this week, the longtime couple opened up about the ups and downs of married life, sharing personal stories and relationship tips. But what didn’t fans expect? Their totally opposite takes on what has kept their love strong for 41 years.
Maury, known for his no-nonsense TV personality, kept it simple: “The secret is to agree with your wife — even when you don’t.” The audience laughed, but Maury was serious. “Honestly, letting her win the little arguments is how we avoided the big ones.”
But Connie Chung had a completely different view — and she wasn’t holding back. “Don’t let them get away with everything,” she said with a smirk. “Speak your mind. Be honest, even if it leads to a fight. It shows you care.”
The couple’s playful back-and-forth is exactly what fans love about them. Despite their differences, their chemistry is undeniable, and their respect for each other shines through.
“Connie is the smartest person I know,” Maury added. “She challenges me every day. That’s why it’s worked.”
Chung, a trailblazing journalist who became the first Asian American woman to co-anchor a major network news broadcast, added, “Maury has always let me be myself. That’s rare in this industry — or any marriage.”
Fans on social media quickly shared clips from the interview, calling them “couple goals” and praising their honest take on long-term love. One user wrote, “This is the realest relationship advice I’ve heard in years.”
In an age of short celebrity marriages, Maury and Connie are a reminder that love, even in Hollywood, can last. It just takes humor, honesty, and, apparently, a bit of friendly disagreement.
