Ruffalo and Coigney, 50, first met in Los Angeles in 1998 and got married in 2000. Together they share son Keen, 21, and two daughters, Bella Noche, 17, and Odette, 15.

Praising his wife in a 2021 post, Ruffalo acknowledged the retail shop owner's superior mom skills, "The mornings, the breakfasts the lunches, the play dates and school stuff, and just all the ups and downs of raising kids, the wins and losses, the joys and tears. It's everything. Thank you for always being there, especially when you have to do it alone. It's not easy being a mom."

In a 2019 interview, the proud husband told PEOPLE how much he appreciates everything his wife does, calling her a "hero" for shouldering more responsibilities at home, especially at times he is on set.

"It's intense. The times when my wife is gone and I've had to take care of everything ... the laundry alone is enough to destroy you," Ruffalo joked at the time.
