Keith Richards on His 40-Year Marriage: ‘She Came to Me for Love’

Rock legend Keith Richards, 80, has seen it all—fame, fortune, and decades in the spotlight. With a net worth of $500 million, the Rolling Stones guitarist could have had his pick of the world’s most glamorous women. But for over 40 years, his heart has belonged to one person: Patti Hansen.

Richards recently opened up about the secret to his long-lasting marriage with the 68-year-old model, emphasizing that their relationship has always been built on love rather than wealth. “She came to me for love, not for the wealth I have,” he shared. “I love her not because she is young and beautiful but for who she is.”

The couple first met in 1979 and married four years later. Despite the challenges of a rock-and-roll lifestyle, their bond has remained strong. Hansen, known for her successful modeling career, has stood by Richards through the highs and lows, proving that their relationship goes beyond fame and fortune.

Even after four decades, Richards still speaks about his wife with admiration and affection. Their enduring love story is a testament to the power of genuine connection, proving that true love can stand the test of time—even in rock and roll.
