Dan Rather immediately fell for Texan Jean Goebel. "I was working at KTRH radio in Houston and she came to work in a secretarial position. In my case, it was love at first sight," Rather reminisced to Closer Weekly. "Not only was she so intelligent, she was smoking hot, and it took me a while to convince her to marry me."

Of course the life of a journalist came with its own challenges. "When I was covering the Civil Rights Movement, there was a year when I was only home for 31 days, and I was in Vietnam for the better part of 1965 to 1966. But I never take it for granted," Rather admitted. "You have to work at it, and having two wonderful children has helped. Mostly thanks to Jean, they have grown into very good adults." 

Rather and Goebel's marriage has all the makings of the perfect love story!
