Chuck Norris & Gena O’Kelly

Most of the time, celebrity spouses are more than happy to let their partners take center stage. In the case of Chuck Norris and his wife Gena Kelly, everything is shared equally, including the spotlight. The two first met back in 1997, after Kelly starred in a TV series. Norris saw her performance and then grew interested in the beautiful actress. They first started off as friends, but this soon blossomed into something more. They were wed just a year after, and despite having quite an age gap between them, the couple proved just how strong their bond is.

The pair also have two children together; the twins Dakota Alan and Danilee Kelly were both born in August of 2001. Danilee appeared in Norris’ film Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire, which is her first foray into following in her father’s footsteps. Thanks to their parents’ hard work, the Norris twins don’t have to worry about student loans.
