Michelle Pfeiffer took to Instagram on Thursday to commemorate her 32nd anniversary with husband David E Kelley, posting a photo of them walking together.
‘Lucky in love for 32 years,’ the 67-year-old actress told her 3.6 million followers in a caption alongside the romantic shot.
The Santa Ana, California-born star and her spouse appeared to be holding hands while walking outside the J.W. Heist Steakhouse in Bozeman, Montana.
The actress has been in Montana many times this year to shoot her new Taylor Sheridan series The Madison.
Both the Academy Award-nominated star and her spouse were clad in all-black ensembles of coats and pants.
Pfeiffer received a number of supportive responses, including from pal Rita Wilson, who herself celebrated her 37th wedding anniversary with husband Tom Hanks earlier this year. ‘Happy Anniversary!!!’ Wilson said. ‘You’re both so lovely!!! Here’s to doubling that number!

Pfeiffer, whose films include 1983’s Scarface, 1992’s Batman Returns and 1995’s Dangerous Minds, initially crossed paths with Kelley in early 1993, as they were set up on a blind date.
Pfeiffer told Jimmy Fallon of the way things unfolded with her nascent spouse of more than three decades.
‘I was kind of nervous,’ Pfeiffer said in April of 2022, ‘and I’d had a couple of bad blind dates.
‘And I had sworn off of them, and my best friend said, “Please, just this last time, meet this guy, David Kelley” and I said okay.’
Pfeiffer in 1993 had been working toward adopting daughter Claudia, who was two months old when she went home with the actress and her new love.
‘So we had this child with us right away, and most people don’t have that,’ Pfeiffer said in a 2007 interview with the publication Good Housekeeping.
Pfeiffer said that the unique situation helped her see what kind of a man Kelley was.
‘But I really got to see him in a situation that certainly would separate the boys from the men,’ Pfeiffer said. ‘Obviously, he really rose to the occasion.’

Pfeiffer said that the events that were happening in their respective lives 32 years ago made for a perfect storm for their relationship.
‘It was sort of perfectly timed,’ Pfeiffer said. ‘We both got to see each other as parents before we progressed in our relationship together and, in a strange way, it took the pressure off, as a couple.
‘I mean, it’s a real testament to the kind of person he is, but also to the fact that sometimes the traditional way of doing things isn’t always the best way.’
Pfeiffer and Kelley subsequently tied the knot on November 13, 1993, with Kelley adopting Claudia during that time.
In 1994, the couple welcomed another member of the family, in son John Henry.
