Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brian Hallisay's characters on 9-1-1 might have had a complicated relationship, but their real-life marriage couldn't be better.

The actress, 43, is fairly private when it comes to her personal life, so any time she does fans of the Fox drama love to see it. On November 20, her Instagram comments were buzzing after she posted a heartfelt photo in tribute to her husband Brian, 44, and their ninth wedding anniversary. In the never-before-seen picture, the couple is seen kissing at their intimate beach wedding back in 2013.

"9 years of feeling so lucky to be yours. Happy Anniversary my love. 🧡," she captioned it.

Reacting to the heartwarming post, 9-1-1 fans immediately took to Jennifer's comments section to share equally sweet messages. "Love you guys so much ♥️," one person wrote. "Happy anniversary 🎉 hope your family stays this happy always ❤️,” another added. "You both deserve all the love in the world 😘,” a different fan said.

Jennifer first met Brian on the set of the short-lived NBC series Love Bites in 2011. The two later reunited in 2012 when they worked together on Lifetime's The Client List. Shortly after, in June 2013, the duo announced that they were engaged and were expecting their first child.

The major events continued when Jennifer and Brian got married on November 20, 2013. Less than a week later, the Party of Five actress gave birth to their daughter Autumn, who is now 8 years old. Since then, their family has expanded with the additions of their sons Atticus, 7, and Aidan, 1.

Jennifer is best known for her current role as Maddie Buckley, a 911 operator, on the show 9-1-1 alongside Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Oliver Stark, Kenneth Choi and for a brief period, even Brian. Back in season 2, viewers were shocked to learn more about Maddie's past, specifically the fact that she had run away from her abusive ex-husband Doug (Brian Hallisay), only for him to find her, kidnap her and almost kill her. In the end, Maddie was able to escape and kill him in self-defense, so there's no chance of fans seeing Brian return to the show.

One comment on the anniversary post even referenced this, writing, "Then he had the nerve to try to kill you in the snow and all 🙄. Just Kidding! Happy anniversary 🤣😍👌.”

Luckily, off the show, the couple's relationship couldn't be more different. This year, 9-1-1 saw Jennifer return to the longtime series as a regular cast member after being on maternity leave. When she's not filming season 6 she seems to spend her downtime happily with her family of five.
