“We’ve lived as husband and wife for a decade. We’ve built a family, and a farm and found our community,“the beaming bride wrote. “For years, publications have reported that we got married in 2014 or 2015 and that I’ve been married and divorced before. All untrue. But WE knew our truth. So it felt silly to try and correct anything.”

The Small Things That Count

For Valentine’s Day in 2023, Burton reminisced about some of the small ways Morgan won her over, including embracing her friendship with one of her best pals.
“When I first started talking to my Valentine-for-life@jeffreydeanmorgan, he knew that the way to my heart was winning over my roommate and BFF@nikolainiceguy,” she revealed.
“Jeff would send me letters with a PS added on for Nick, and that grew into shared Thanksgivings and Christmases and trips to Disneyland. And so 14 years later, I’m happy I got to celebrate both my guys today.”
