Cyndi Lauper and her husband, actor David Thornton, are approaching their 34th wedding anniversary in November. According to Lauper, the key to their successful marriage is simply enjoying each other’s company and not getting bogged down by minor issues. She emphasizes the importance of viewing your partner not only as a spouse but also as a best friend and family member whom you share everything with.
The couple first met on the set of the movie “Off and Running” in 1991 and quickly developed feelings for each other. They tied the knot on November 24, 1991, in a Friends meeting house in New York. Despite not being Quakers, they appreciated the theme of friendship and tolerance for their wedding, as their friends came from diverse backgrounds.
In 1997, Lauper and Thornton welcomed their only child, a son named Declyn. The family shares a deep love for music, with David enjoying art music and electronic dance music, while their son had a preference for Green Day. Lauper mentions that their home was always filled with music, creating a lively and fun atmosphere.
As Lauper gears up for her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour starting in Montreal on October 18, she reflects on her music career. She recalls being an opening act for other artists at arenas before headlining her own tour. However, after becoming pregnant with Declyn, she temporarily returned to being an opener. Despite this, she is excited to embark on this farewell tour and share her music with her fans once again.
The couple’s journey of love and companionship serves as an inspiration for many, showcasing the beauty of a strong and enduring marriage. With their shared passion for music and their unwavering support for each other, Cyndi Lauper and David Thornton continue to celebrate their love story as they approach their 34th anniversary.
