Barry Manilow and Garry Kief

Barry Manilow may sing about never wanting to say goodbye, but he was waiting for the right person. The pop icon revealed to People Magazine that he and his longtime manager and husband, Garry Kief, have been together since 1978.

Since Kief stepped into Manilow’s life, the two have been nearly attached at the hip and even share a workload; Kief manages Manilow’s career. The lovebirds were hailed for their long-term commitment when they tied the knot in 2014. Although the superstar is best known for his hit love songs, like “Can’t Smile Without You,” Manilow says Kief makes him smile every day.
