From the 90s up until a few years ago, actor and German music producer Erwin Bach had been Tina Turner’s faithful boyfriend. They finally decided to tie the knot in 2013. “I really needed to love a person,” she said, and then she met Erwin. “My hands were wet, it was love at first sight,” she added.

Aside from being the love of her life, Erwin is literally Turner’s hero, since he saved her life when she needed a kidney transplant and he was the donor.
