Justin Long has shared an incredibly sweet post to commemorate his wife, Kate Bosworth, on her 41st birthday.
“You’re 41! When you were 40 you swam under a waterfall in a rainforest. You fell in love with your first silent retreat and the last Beatles song,” he captioned a video montage of some of the couple’s favourite moments, set to the sound of Billianne’s cover of Simply the Best.
The montage even included a sneaky look inside the couple’s secret wedding from mid-2023.

Long continued, “You continued to walk the coals of loss with courage and strength I’ll remember forever. You saw a federal judge on vacation dancing a solo conga line to “Mambo #5” and it made you laugh and it inspired you.
“You overwhelmed a boy when you first called him “husband” and made him feel luckier than he’s ever felt. You heard Paul Simon say that the listener completes the song and you were struck by this insight. You were struck by many things and you loved deeply.”

The actor also hinted that kids may be in the couple’s future, “One day our kids might ask me ‘Dad, why did you write sappy things about Mom on that old Instagram app? The one you won’t let us use?’
“And I’ll say “Well, _____, because there are a lot of poisonous things on the Internet but your mom always inspires me to put good things into the world. Besides, I know reading those old posts touched her and made her smile.”

“They might say “Ew!” Or “Why?”,” he said of the couple’s hypothetical future children, “And I’d say ‘Because she completed all of your Dad’s favourite love songs. Even ones he hadn’t thought about since he was a kid.
“Like the theme song of a TV show he loved called FAMILY TIES. There was a line in that song that went like this ‘…and there ain’t no nothin’ we can’t love each other through…’ And one year, when she was 40, your Mom completed that song too. She’s simply the best”
Long and Bosworth have had a whirlwind romance.
Long confirmed that the duo were dating in December 2021, after meeting on the set of an unnamed project earlier that year.
They sparked engagement rumours in March 2022 after Bosworth was spotted with a ring on her finger, they later confirmed the rumours on an episode of Long’s podcast in April.
Just two months later, the couple were secretly married at the Rockaway Hotel in New York City’s Queens during a spur-of-the-moment ceremony.
