Sunrise & Mark Ruffalo Happily Celebrate 26 Years of Wedded Bliss
The Ruffalos are celebrating another happy year of marriage. To commemorate the occasion, Mark Ruffalo shared some photos and penned a simple yet loving message to his bride.
“Happy 26th Anniversary. I love you like crazy,” the Marvel actor shared in a sweet Instagram post. In the first image, he shared a recent selfie that he and Sunrise took together. The second photo features the couple on their wedding day back in 2000.
In the comments, many fans and colleagues left kind words for the couple.
“Love you two ❤️❤️❤️” Natalie Portman wrote.
“How wonderful you both are!! 🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉” singer Annie Lennox added.
GettyIn an interview with Men’s Journal, the “Hulk” star recalls meeting Sunrise in 1998. He was walking down the street with a mutual friend of theirs when they just happened to bump into Sunrise. Mark Ruffalo suspects the mutual friend was also romantically interested in her at the time.
“I don’t think he wanted us to meet,” the 58-year-old told the outlet. “But I saw her and was like, I’m going to marry that girl.”
But even so, Sunrise wasn’t immediately interested.
“All I had was my decency, wit, and charm – I didn’t have anything,” Ruffalo remembered. “When I met her, she was like, ‘You don’t have a driver’s license, you don’t have a credit card. What is wrong with you, dude? I can’t be with you!'”
Getty“I was living in a converted garage, and she was there for that, she was game,” he continued. “She believed in me. She was like, ‘I know you’re a really good actor,’ and I was like, ‘You haven’t really seen me act yet.’ And she was like, ‘I just know it, I can tell.'”
The Actor Conquered a Brain Tumor Shortly After Becoming a Father
GettyIn an appearance on the “SmartLess” podcast, Mark Ruffalo recalled an emotionally charged time early in his marriage. Their oldest son, Keen, was born on June 19, 2001. Just before welcoming the baby home, Ruffalo received a brain tumor diagnosis. He waited to tell Sunrise after she gave birth, so as not to complicate the delivery.
“When I told Sunny about it, at first she thought I was joking, and then she just burst into tears and said, ‘I always knew you were gonna die young,'” the actor told the “SmartLess” hosts.
Thankfully, Mark Ruffalo survived. He and Sunrise went on to welcome two more children in 2005 and 2007.
GettyFans wish the Ruffalo family all the best as they celebrate their milestone wedding anniversary.
