The actor, Patrick and the celebrity makeup artist nearly split in 2015 but have been going strong ever since. “24 years !! What an amazing path we have been on ! love you! Happy anniversary,” he wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.
The couple met in 1994 when Patrick was a client at Jillian’s hair salon. They eventually wed in 1999 at a farmhouse in Maine that belonged to Patrick’s family, and they went on to welcome three children together daughter Talula, 21, and twin sons Darby and Sullivan, 16.
The actor and the celebrity makeup artist nearly split in 2015 but have been going strong ever since. Over the course of their relationship, the two haven’t shied away from discussing difficult topics, including their near-split in 2015. Jillian filed for divorce at the time, but she and the Disenchanted star later reconciled.
“Our marriage was not something I was prepared to let go of,” Patrick told PEOPLE in 2016. “I didn’t feel like we had done all the work. And we both wanted to do that work. That’s where it started.
Despite their differences, the two attended marriage counseling together and put in the effort to repair their relationship. “Jill and I decided it was time to work on our issues and improve,” Patrick explained. “We wanted to be role models for our kids like, okay, if you have differences, you can work them out.”
