Did you know that Howie Mandel and his wife Terry have been married for over 40 years? That's a huge accomplishment worth celebrating for any relationship, let alone a Hollywood one within the public eye. And what makes things even cuter is that the couple met when they were both 12 years old, per CheatSheet.

Apparently the two met at the YMCA while they were just childhood friends, but wouldn't begin dating until high school. But Terry represents more than just the beginning of a cute love story for her husband. In fact, Howie Mandel's wife has reportedly been a huge supporter of his career and has even helped him pursue career paths that he would have previously turned down.

According to The Gazette, he nearly declined the offer to host "Deal or No Deal," explaining, "In 2005, when I got asked to do a game show, there was no comics hosting game shows. And I said no to it three times. My wife told me to take the deal, and I took the deal." Terry has also helped him pursue a career that is comedy based, and according to sources, has helped produce his various comedy shows, (via NailBuzz).
