The couple were engaged shortly thereafter and married in June 2012. "We are incredibly grateful for the life-changing years we've spent together as husband and wife," they added. "We are also extremely thankful to God for the testimony being created inside us both and for blessing our lives with each other."
The Hollywood couple have often shared details of their romance with the public. Back in 2015, they cowrote the New York Times bestseller The Wait: A Powerful Practice for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love about their relationship.
