Legendary rocker Alice Cooper and his wife Sheryl celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows in a special ceremony, as reported by Hello! Magazine.
The couple honored their milestone anniversary with an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends at a prestigious venue in Phoenix.
“Alice Cooper and wife Sheryl Cooper honored their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday March 21, 2026 by renewing their vows in front of 220 guests at the iconic Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, overlooking Camelback Mountain,” Hello! Magazine reported. “Legendary rocker Alice, 78, and 69-year-old dancer Sheryl said ‘I do’ – again – in front of four generations of their family, from Sheryl’s 92-year-old father, William Goddard, who officiated the ceremony, recreating his role from 1976, to five-year-old granddaughter Desiree.”
The ceremony recreated elements from their original 1976 wedding. Sheryl’s father once again served as the officiant for this special renewal of vows.
This golden anniversary celebration marks a remarkable journey for the couple. Their love story began in the mid-1970s during the height of Alice Cooper’s rock career.
Ultimate Classic Rock reported that Alice Cooper met Sheryl Goddard in 1975 when she was an 18-year-old dance student auditioning for his Welcome to My Nightmare tour. Their romance blossomed quickly, leading to their marriage on March 20, 1976, in Acapulco, Mexico, exactly 50 years before their vow renewal ceremony.
However, their marriage faced significant challenges during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Ultimate Classic Rock noted that Alice’s struggles with alcoholism and cocaine addiction put severe strain on their relationship. Sheryl had him committed to rehab in 1977. The situation became so difficult that she filed for divorce in 1983. The couple reconciled after Alice’s commitment to sobriety that same year, demonstrating their dedication to making their marriage work.
Throughout their relationship, Sheryl has been more than just Alice’s wife – she has been an integral part of his career. Wikipedia documented that Sheryl has served as a dancer, choreographer, and backing singer on Alice’s tours since 1975, with breaks for child-rearing. She has participated in dramatic stage acts, often portraying a ghoulish nurse who beheads Alice during performances, sometimes alongside their daughter Calico.
The couple’s enduring partnership, both personal and professional, has weathered decades of challenges in the demanding world of rock and roll. Their 50th anniversary vow renewal ceremony stands as a testament to their commitment to each other and their ability to overcome adversity together.
