Rob Lowe can't get enough of his wife.
The Outsiders actor has been married to his sweetheart, Sheryl, since 1991.
She's been there for him through thick and thin, helping turn his darkest days into light, as she helped him overcome his addiction to drugs and alcohol.
As a result, the actor can't say enough nice things about the woman who saved his life.
This especially goes for men who are trying to overcome addiction. Their partner can be a shining beacon of hope at the end of a dark tunnel — the reason for them to change their lives.
We've seen this happen time and time again with Hollywood men.
He's been with his wife, LaTanya Richardson, for 50 years. The couple have one daughter, Zoe, together.
When Samuel struggled with addiction, it was their daughter who found the actor lying on the kitchen floor with substances all around him.
His wife was the one who took him to rehab.
"I credit her because she could have just taken Zoe (their daughter), and walked out and been done with me. But she didn't," he said.
Truer words haven't been spoken!
A similar situation happened to Back to the Future actor, Matthew J. Fox. After being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, he really struggled with this diagnosis.
The pair met while Pollan played his girlfriend on Family Ties.
“I started to drink heavily, and it was screwing up my relationships and screwing up my marriage and screwing up my work," Fox told Men's Health.
Thankfully, with the help of his family, he was able to stop drinking.
In an interview with People, the actor recalled meeting his wife, Sheryl, the renowned makeup artist (now a fine jewelry designer) on the set of Lowe's 1990 erotic thriller Bad Influence.
"I had the feeling that if I was ever going to be able to make it work with anybody, it was Sheryl," Lowe said, recalling feeling "seen" for the first time in his life.
"Intimacy and I were not very well acquainted, until very late in my life," he said. He was at a crossroads: he knew that his partying lifestyle wouldn't work for the life he wanted with Sheryl.
Thankfully, he chose the right path — the one with Sheryl, and entered rehab to get sober.
The pair married in 1991 and welcomed two sons together; Matthew in 1993 and John Owen in 1995.
He will soon be celebrating 32 years of sobriety in May. "I really, really loved every minute of it."
"She saw things in me that nobody had ever seen before," he says, referring to their 30-year marriage as one of life's greatest "miracles."
"I still think she's the hottest, sexiest, most beautiful, insane, complicated, entertaining person that I know, in addition to being a great mother," he said.
