Dustin Hoffman and his wife of nearly 43 years, Lisa Gottsegen, were spotted on a rare outing in New York City on Tuesday.

The Oscar winner, 85, was dressed casually in a navy blue and orange Asics jacket, white button-down shirt and black pants. 

His wife, 68, also wore a navy blue jacket but with a black top and grey pants.

The parents of Jacob, 42, Rebecca, 40, Maxwell, 38, and Ali, 36, married in 1980 after knowing each other through their families for years.

Dustin is also dad to Karina 57, and Jenna, 53, from his first marriage to Anne Byrne which ended in 1980 after 11 years. Dustin and Lisa wed later that same year.

In an interview with Closer, Lisa talked about her marriage, saying: ‘I say in Hollywood it is like dog years, so you have to multiply that by seven.’

She added that more than four decades after tying the knot, she and the Rainman actor are ‘more in love’ than ever before and their affection for each other ‘continues to grow.’ 

Lisa first met Dustin when she was 10 and he was 27-years-old at a family barbecue. His mother was friends with her grandmother. 

On that day, the Tootsie star spent time with Lisa and her eight-year-old brother.   

‘Dustin was telling us jokes, playing the piano and encouraging me to dance around the living room,’ she explained in a 2007 interview for Daily Mail. 

‘After we got together, my grandmother reminded me that later that day I had said, “I hope he waits for me because I want to marry him,”‘ she said.

And it did turn out to be fate when the couple met again when she was 22 and he was 38 and fresh off his divorce.

They ran into each other at Lisa’s grandfather’s funeral and afterwards, went on their first date. 

They’ve been together ever since. She dished on the secret to their longtime love.

‘We work hard at it,’ she told Closer. ‘I knew I was going to end up with Dusty, and that my life would be traveling around with him.’

At the time, Lisa expressed that she and Dustin ‘are more in love’ than ever and remarked that their connection ‘continues to grow.’ 

She is the founder and president of Lisa Hoffman Beauty.
