Julia Louis-Dreyfus first met husband Brad Hall at Northwestern University back in the '80s and the rest was history.
The pair, who performed together while in college, would later take their talents to Saturday Night Live and beyond. They got married on June 25, 1987, and welcomed their first son Henry Hall on June 30, 1992. Five years later, they grew their family with another boy, Charles Hall.
Over the years, the couple has also collaborated on a few projects, including SNL, an early-2000s comedy titled Watching Ellie and a 2012 short film called Picture Paris.
"He always appreciates the hard work but sometimes he'll say… we are honest with one another so that if he doesn't think it quite works or something, he'll tell me why. And I'll do the same with his work," Louis-Dreyfus revealed while on Live with Kelly and Mark back in 2023.
As the couple celebrates 39 years of marriage, look back at some of their sweetest pictures below.
