Colbert Celebrates 32-Year Marriage Amid Celebrity Crush

has opened up about his relationship with longtime wife Evelyn McGee Colbert.

The 62-year-old late night personality – – gushed over Evelyn, also 62, this week, saying he still 'can't believe' he is with her.

'I go like, "I can't believe Evie McGee's going out with me," because I mean, we grew up in the same town. Like, wow. Evie McGee. I must be doing okay,' he told People magazine.

The couple met in 1990, got engaged in 1992, and tied the knot in October 1993.

Recalling their first date, Colbert said, 'Day after , Feast of Saint Stephen, so that's auspicious.'

He added, 'And then we didn't see each other again until February, I think it was around February 11th or February 9th. I know that Monday was the day before Mardi Gras, and I knew I would not see her again until Good Friday, and so I gave up Evie McGee for Lent.'

Elsewhere in the chat with the publication, he admired his wife's beauty, saying, 'Look how pretty she is!'

The husband and wife, married 32 years, share daughter Madeleine, 30, and sons Peter, 28, and John, 24. 

Colbert said of Evelyn: 'She's great company. I try to be equally good company. I don't think I am as good company as she is.'

And he still enjoys putting a smile on his wife's face.
