Cyndi Lauper Shares Secrets To Her Joyful Marriage And Life With Husband David Thornton

When it comes to knowing how to have a good time, Cyndi Lauper is the queen. But even she might not have predicted the sheer joy she'd experience when she tied the knot with her husband, actor David Thornton. The two celebrated their love on November 24, 1991, and it's been a magical journey ever since.

"He's my best friend, he's wildly creative, and I just wanted to share my whole life with him," Cyndi, now 65, revealed exclusively to Closer Weekly. The magazine's latest issue, which you can pick up at newsstands right now, dives deep into the story of their enduring love. Cyndi went on to say, "And that's exactly what has happened. We've built an incredible life together."

A Marriage Built on Love, Friendship, and Creativity

It’s not just about the love; it’s about the friendship that keeps them going. Cyndi and David have built a life filled with laughter, creativity, and, most importantly, family. Together, they welcomed their son, Dex, who recently turned 21. And after 32 years of marriage, their bond is stronger than ever.

Cyndi credits the longevity of their relationship to something simple yet profound. "I once heard George Harrison's wife say that the secret to a successful marriage is to stay married and work through the challenges," Cyndi shared. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. For over three decades, they’ve faced life’s ups and downs together, proving that hard work and commitment truly pay off.

Life Beyond the Spotlight: Cyndi’s Thoughts on Retirement

While Cyndi has spent decades in the spotlight, she’s also had heartfelt conversations with David about the future. "We’ve talked about the possibility of me slowing down or even retiring from music," Cyndi said in a previous interview with ABC. "We’ve always believed that when you’re done, you’re done. You don’t have to force anything. You do what makes you happy, and that’s it."

For Cyndi and David, their priorities lie in raising their son and nurturing their relationship. They’re not just a power couple; they’re a family unit that supports each other through thick and thin.

Being the Best Mom She Can Be

Balancing a successful career and being a parent isn’t easy, but Cyndi strives to be the best mom she can be for Dex. Sometimes, though, it feels like her son is more mature than she is. Cyndi recounted a memorable moment when she accidentally swore on live TV, and Dex wasn’t shy about giving her feedback.

"Dex told me something Dad always says: 'If you don’t curse when it’s not important, you won’t curse when it is,'" Cyndi recalled with a laugh. "I thought to myself, 'Yeah, you’re right, Dex. It was a long day, but you’re absolutely right.'"

Through it all, Cyndi remains committed to being authentic. "I don’t want to be a fake parent, a fake singer, or a fake writer. I want to be the real thing in everything I do," she emphasized. Her passion for authenticity shines through in every aspect of her life.
