Famous Rock Couples

We all know about the modern-day famous rock couples like the brief marriage between singer Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and of course Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed, but what about the famous rock couples that started a romantic relationship first, then added a band later? This list breaks down the famous married (or otherwise attached) couples that fell in love first then used that relationship to have a successful musical career.

Some of the featured rock star couples on this list make it well known in their name that they're together such as those named after the couple like Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Sonny and Cher and The Mamas & the Papas.

Making sweet music is no difficult task for these famous rock star couples as many have experienced long and successful musical careers including winning Grammy Awards and selling millions of albums. As these rock star couples prove, love is a great first step to fame and fortune.
