Ron Howard is a well-known actor who has been in many movies and TV shows over the past seven decades. Howard’s work, which has lasted more than 60 years, has made him a Hollywood heavyweight, earning him many awards and praise.
Howard is successful in more than one area of his life, though. He has been married to Cheryl Alley, his high school girlfriend, for almost 50 years. This is a very unusual story in Hollywood.
Howard was just 18 months old when he started to play. In Duncan, Oklahoma, on March 1, 1954, he was born. He rose to fame as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show,” and he went on to play the title character in the hit series “Happy Days.” His innate skill and hard effort earned him an Oscar and a Golden Globe for directing “A Beautiful Mind.”
Howard’s success has been built on his relationship with Cheryl. He calls her his “lucky charm” and makes sure she has a small role in all of his movies. Cheryl, who has written books and movies, has been his rock and helped him through everything.
As their 49th wedding anniversary approaches, Howard says that they have stayed together because they talk to each other. “It’s crucial to develop your communication skills and learn how to have fruitful, uncomfortable conversations,” he says.
As a power couple with four kids and six grandkids, they continue to inspire people with their love story and work. From “Happy Days” to “Jurassic World,” Ron Howard’s work shows how talented, dedicated, and strong love can be.
