The numbers
Alice Cooper, the legendary rock star, marked a significant milestone by renewing his wedding vows with Sheryl Cooper on March 21, 2026, at the historic Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona. The intimate ceremony was attended by 220 guests, celebrating not just their love but also the remarkable journey of their 50 years together.
At 78 years old, Alice Cooper reflected on their enduring relationship, stating, “Our 50 years together has proved to a cynical world that true love lasts and is very much alive.” Sheryl, who is 69, echoed this sentiment, humorously defining marriage as “two dysfunctional people who refuse to give up on each other!” Their love story began in 1975 when Sheryl auditioned for Alice’s Welcome To My Nightmare tour, leading to a proposal on stage during a Christmas show.
The couple’s family, including their three children—Calico (44), Dashiell (40), and Sonora (34)—were present to witness the renewal of vows officiated by Sheryl’s father, William Goddard, who is 92 years old. This familial bond underscores the strength of their relationship, often described as the strongest marriage in rock ‘n’ roll.
During the ceremony, Alice and Sheryl shared their first dance to “This I Swear Is True” by The Skyliners, a poignant reminder of their long-lasting commitment. Alice remarked, “She looked absolutely sensational, like a Disney heroine,” highlighting the affection that has remained vibrant over the decades.
Despite the tumultuous nature of the music industry, Alice and Sheryl have maintained a relationship characterized by mutual respect and understanding. Alice noted, “People always say that marriage is hard work, but Sheryl and I have the easiest marriage you can imagine. We never argue. Sheryl and I believe in each other.” This perspective challenges the often chaotic narratives associated with rock star relationships.
Historically, Alice Cooper’s marriage has stood out in an industry known for fleeting romances and high-profile divorces. Their commitment has not only defied the odds but has also served as an inspiration to many, proving that a loving partnership can thrive amidst the pressures of fame.
As they celebrate this remarkable anniversary, observers are left to wonder what the next chapter holds for the couple. With their unwavering support for each other, Alice and Sheryl Cooper continue to redefine the narrative of love in the rock ‘n’ roll world, leaving a legacy that resonates far beyond their music.
