Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic via Getty Images In 2000, 32-year-old actor Ed Burns met 31-year-old supermodel Christy Turlington at a party in the Hamptons. By the end of the year, the twosome were engaged.

After a brief split in 2002, the couple reunited and tied the knot in 2003 when Turlington was 25 weeks pregnant with the couple's first daughter, Grace. In 2006, they welcomed son Finn.

Since the nuptials, the pair have been pretty obsessed with each other.

Well, mainly Burns with Turlington, but can you blame the guy? Not only is Turlington a top model who can command seven figures from a single client, but she's smart, too. Turlington graduated cum laude from NYU in 1999 after studying Comparative Religion and Eastern Philosophy. Today, she heads Every Mother Counts, which provides health education, medicine, and emergency care in poor countries.

Burns, no slouch himself, knows he's a lucky guy, and the actor/director's admiration for his wife can be traced back in 12 year of photos that we gladly pored over.

In April 2003, on the verge of their impending June wedding, Burns snapped photos of his fiancé on the red carpet during the "Confidence" premiere in Los Angeles. But don't worry, he made sure to wear the camera strap in case of getting bumped by any fans or paparazzi!

Fast forward to 2007 and Burns has traded in his camera for a Blackberry. Here he is, once again, presumably showing off his latest pics.

But wait, there's more!

Last May, the genetically blessed couple, ages 46 and 47, were the subject of Calvin Klein's campaign for the brand's Eternity fragrance.
