Eric Burdon, the legendary rock singer and former frontman of The Animals, has opened up about his relationship with his wife, Marianna Burdon, and the secret to their lasting happiness. At 82 years old, Burdon remains as passionate as ever, both about music and his personal life.

In a candid interview, Burdon shared how he keeps his marriage strong and fulfilling with his 40-year-old wife, Marianna, a successful Greek lawyer. “She did not come to me for money; my net worth is merely $145 million,” he quipped, emphasizing the depth of their connection beyond material wealth.

Burdon believes that treating Marianna like a queen is the foundation of their bond. “She is my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. I make sure she feels valued and cherished every single day,” he said. From romantic getaways to small daily gestures of appreciation, Burdon ensures that his wife knows how much she means to him.

The couple’s relationship is a testament to love transcending age and status, proving that mutual respect, admiration, and genuine affection are what truly sustain a marriage. As Burdon continues to perform and enjoy life, he credits Marianna as his greatest inspiration and source of joy.
