Howard and Beth Stern's Rare Kimmel Date Night: 18 Years, a Lawsuit, and Flowers

Howard and Beth Stern made a rare public appearance together Tuesday night at“Jimmy Kimmel Live”in Brooklyn, and the timing says a lot. Howard took the interview chair solo while Beth watched from the audience, months after a judge ruled against their former assistant’s NDA forgery claims in July. The couple had been sued in April by former executive assistant Leslie Kuhn over a hostile work environment, a case Howard has publicly dismissed as a shakedown.

During the interview, Howard kept things light, joking that he doesn’t know how Beth puts up with him and sharing his anniversary plans.“I’m sending flowers,”he said.“We’re gonna have romance.”The couple has been married since 2008 and is closing in on eighteen years together.

For a pair who guards their private life, a late-night date night in front of cameras is a notable choice, and it lands as a relaxed reset after a loud legal year. So we want to know: what’s the secret to making it eighteen years? Drop your best relationship advice in the comments.
