“Happy Anniversary to my best friend, hubby and partner thru life,” she continued. “I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”
Michael and Nicole first met in 2007 and married in 2016. Together, they are parents to sons Boomer, 7, Beckett, 5, and Maverick, 3.
Though Michael didn’t reveal the news on his own Instagram, he did add Nicole’s post to his story, writing “happy anniversary, love you.”
The happy mom and dad spoke to People about parenthood in 2021, saying they encourages all of their sons to speak openly about their emotions.
“It gives me a lot of hope. I just want them to be as prepared as they can be,” he said.
“We don’t hide from emotions,” Nicole added. “We teach them that Daddy or Mommy is having a moment and we need to either give them space or ask if they want a hug. And that’s taught them they have permission for their feelings to be heard too.”
