COLLECTION OF STORIES

The "Free to Be... You and Me" author and her long time husband traveled the country and sat down with forty celebrated couples whose long marriages they've admired, including award-winning actors, athletes, and newsmakers, writers, comedians, musicians, and a former US president.

The book in itself is a fruition of the intimate stories that the iconic duo gathered coupled with their own rich journey that they traveled together in the last forty years.

FANS ARE EXCITED

Another fan took the opportunity to congratulate the couple for their new project and stated that he was really looking forward to what this publication had to offer.

Yet another fan was amazed that time had gone by so fast, and the power couple had already completed four decades in their relationship while others couldn't help but admire the charming duo.

Thomas married the popular daytime talk show host Phil Donahue all the way back in May 1980, three years after they met for the first time on "The Donahue Show."

The duo had instant chemistry, and four decades into their marriage, Thomas is the stepmother to Donahue's five children from his previous marriage to Margaret Cooney but has no children of her own.
