Terry Crews Goes Down Memory Lane To Mark Over 3 Decades Of Marriage

Terry Crews has achieved a rare feat in the entertainment industry, standing the test of time with his one and only partner, Rebecca King-Crews.

The former NFL player recently marked his 36th wedding anniversary, celebrating the momentous occasion with fans on Instagram. He counted down the decades with a heartwarming photo dump that showcased his rosy love life with his beautiful wife.

Terry Crews and Rebecca King-Crews tied the knot on July 29, 1989. They have five children, four daughters and a son, and continue to appear head over heels for each other. However, the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has repeatedly credited his decades-long marriage to unrelenting hard work.

Terry marked his big day with Rebecca with fifteen pictures that captured their years-long relationship. The slideshow started with a close-up image of the couple outdoors. Rebecca kissed the side of her husband's head while he stared intently at the camera.

The words “how many months have you been together?” were written above their heads, followed by “months???” in the next image. The second post showed the couple's whole outfit, revealing they donned similar yellow ensembles, while the third picture started the countdown of Terry and Rebecca's relationship.

The countdown began in 2025 with a snap of the lovebirds in the pool, followed by a family picture from 2023. The remaining images showed Terry bonding with Rebecca, shots of their children, and finally, throwback images of the lovebirds in their youth from 1988 to a photograph of their 1989 wedding.

Terry's love for his wife radiated through the sideshow and the post's caption. “36 years and just getting started!! Happy anniversary, @rebeccakingcrews [red heart emoji],” he exclaimed. His touching words received thousands of positive responses from fans, who commemorated his anniversary.

“You've loved this woman longer than I've been alive, and that is such a wondrous thing. I've been married for ten years and think sometimes about how one day I will have loved her longer than I lived without her,” someone mused.

Another agreed Terry loved his wife, writing, “This is what you call true love and having a genuine partner in life.”

“What a beautiful couple you guys are. I hope [there are] many more happy years to come,” a supporter added. The love for Terry and Rebecca continued, with some playfully mocking the entertainer's signature bald look. “They started when he still had hair. Love it,” an IG user penned.

Terry and Rebecca first met at Western Michigan University in the 1980s before the actor's NFL career skyrocketed him into stardom. Although they crossed paths in college, their relationship almost remained platonic, with Rebecca once revealing her husband was “a little too nice.”

Fortunately, they became college sweethearts and tied the knot on July 29, 1989, after dating for a few years. PEOPLE reported they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary with a big bash in 2019. The lavish affair occurred at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, California, with multiple stars in attendance.

Terry revealed in 2024 that Rebecca suffered three miscarriages during their efforts to start a family. They eventually welcomed four children, daughters Azriél, Tera, and Wynfrey, and son Isaiah. The entertainer also adopted Rebecca's daughter, Naomi, from a previous relationship.

Early this year, Terry opened up about his longtime marriage to Rebecca and how they nearly separated after twenty years. He declared “it was over” during that challenging point of their love life; however, they managed to rebuild their broken bond.

“We decided we were going to be stronger together. It was a decision that we decided to make,” Terry explained. He credited their unrelenting dedication and hard work for their decades-long marriage, noting that most people thought love was enough to withstand the test of time.

“It's work. It's work. It's really work. You have to get better at it, it's a skill. There's a lot of things I had to relearn,” Terry claimed. He added that sometimes he wanted to quit, but Rebecca wouldn't give up on their marriage, and vice versa. Thanks to their persevering spirit, the Crews remain unshakable.

Terry has never shied away from addressing his faults and did so in 2022 by releasing the memoir “Tough.” The Blast covered the story, reporting that the book followed his 2014 hit "Manhood: How to Be a Better Man — Or Just Live with One."

Like the first book, the TV personality dived into the toxic traits men embodied and how he once believed these behaviors showcased his masculinity. “As a former, what I would call, ‘toxic male’ — that term ‘toxic masculinity’ has been used a lot, and it's actually been misused,” Terry said in an interview.

“The term I really love right now is just ‘abuse of power’ — and that really, really resonated with who I was; but then people just had more questions about how this goes down and what forms this, and how do you get control of this?” Terry added.

He noted these frequent queries inspired him to write the memoir to help other men heal.

Here's to hoping Terry Crews spends more blissful years with his family!
