Alice Cooper and Wife Sheryl Renew Their Wedding Vows to Celebrate 50 Years of Marriage

Alice Cooper and his wife, Sheryl Cooper, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by saying “I do” all over again.

The rock musician, 78, and the dancer and choreographer, 69, renewed their marriage vows on Saturday, March 21, during a ceremony at the historic Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, per Hello! magazine. They welcomed 220 guests for the special occasion.

Sheryl’s 92-year-old father, William Goddard, officiated the ceremony, reprising his role from the couple’s original 1976 nuptials. Four generations of the family were present, including Alice and Sheryl’s three children — Calico, 44, Dashiell “Dash,” 41, and Sonora, 33 — and their grandchildren.

The “School’s Out” singer and his wife recited personalized vows, per Hello!, and exchanged custom rings gifted to them by longtime friend Jimmy Chase. The 18K gold rings, which are adorned with cabochon-cut rubies and brilliant-cut diamonds, were designed to suit Alice and Sheryl’s lifestyles, including the musician’s need to hold a microphone and his love of golf.

According to the outlet, Alice and Sheryl took a moment to pause during the recessional, and the Grammy Award nominee gallantly dipped his wife and kissed her as their loved ones cheered.

The couple first met when Sheryl, who trained in ballet in New York City, auditioned for Alice’s stage show. She eventually joined Alice on tour as a dancer for the Welcome to My Nightmare show in 1975. While on the road, the two started as TV-watching friends. They later began dating and married soon afterward on March 20, 1976.

The pair welcomed daughter Calico in 1981, followed by son Dash in 1985 and daughter Sonora in 1992.

In the years since tying the knot, Alice and Sheryl have been partners both romantically and professionally.

“It’s almost hard to do the show without her,” Alice told Billboard in 2019, decades after Sheryl began taking on roles in his stage show. “It’s almost like Burns and Allen; we’re backstage putting makeup on, talking, laughing.”

“We’ve both been in show business all our lives,” he continued. “When we’re onstage, she’s not Sheryl, my wife. She’s the character, and I’m the character. We don’t look at each other as husband and wife onstage. But the great thing is, afterwards, we’re on tour. We’re never apart. It’s great.”

In 2019, Alice and Sheryl made headlines amid rumors that they had a “death pact” with each other — but the “No More Mr. Nice Guy” singer soon set the record straight.

“Sheryl and I do NOT have a death pact, we have a LIFE pack,” he wrote on Instagram in June of that year. “We love life so much. What I was meaning was that because we’re almost always together, at home and on the road, that if something did happen to either of us, we’d most likely be together at the time.”

When asked during a 2016 interview to share the secret to his and Sheryl’s long-lasting marriage, the rocker responded: “People ask me, they say, ‘When you go on the road, it must be hard leaving home.’ I go, ‘I bring home with me.’ Because really, a house is a house, but a home is who you are with in the house.”
