The numbers
In a heartwarming celebration of love, Alice Cooper and Sheryl Cooper renewed their wedding vows on March 21, 2026, marking an impressive 50 years of marriage. The ceremony took place at the historic Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona, and was attended by 220 guests, all there to witness the enduring bond of this iconic couple.
At 78 years old, Alice reflected on their journey together, stating, “Our 50 years together has proved to a cynical world that true love lasts and is very much alive.” Sheryl, 69, echoed his sentiments, saying, “We have a concise definition of marriage, and it’s two dysfunctional people who refuse to give up on each other!” Their relationship has been characterized by mutual respect and unwavering support, which they attribute to their success as a couple.
The couple’s love story began in 1975 when Sheryl auditioned for Alice’s Welcome To My Nightmare tour. Alice proposed to Sheryl on stage during a Christmas show in Acapulco, Mexico, where they later married in 1976. Their first dance was to “This I Swear Is True” by The Skyliners, a moment that remains etched in their memories.
Among the guests were family members, including their three children: Calico (44), Sonora (34), and Dashiell (40). The ceremony was officiated by Sheryl’s father, William Goddard, who at 92 years old, added a special touch to the occasion. Alice and Sheryl’s daughters have often spoken about their parents’ relationship, describing it as a model of love and partnership.
Throughout their marriage, Alice and Sheryl have been noted for having one of the strongest unions in rock ‘n’ roll. They have often shared that they never argue and believe in each other wholeheartedly. “People always say that marriage is hard work, but Sheryl and I have the easiest marriage you can imagine,” Alice shared, highlighting the unique dynamic they have cultivated over the decades.
As the couple celebrated their milestone, they were surrounded by friends from the music industry, including notable figures like Duff McKagan, Bernie Taupin, Rob Zombie, Rob Halford, and Marilyn Manson. Their presence underscored the impact Alice has had on the music scene and the deep connections he has forged over the years.
As the evening progressed, Alice expressed his admiration for Sheryl, stating, “She looked absolutely sensational, like a Disney heroine.” This sentiment reflects not only his love for her but also the joy they share in their life together. Observers of their relationship continue to marvel at their commitment to one another, and many hope to see them inspire future generations with their story.
While the celebration was a joyous occasion, it also served as a reminder of the power of love and partnership in a world that often seems cynical. As Alice and Sheryl Cooper embark on the next chapter of their lives together, their story remains a beacon of hope for couples everywhere. Details remain unconfirmed about future plans, but one thing is certain: their love story is far from over.
