Congratulations are in order for Ron Howard, and his wife Cheryl, who are celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary this week. I know, right? Seems totally unheard of in Hollywood but it can happen for the good ones!
The 67-year-old recently shared a sweet tribute to his long-time love on social media, and fans couldn’t be happier for the sweet duo. I know I sound like such a mush but hey, I’m only human — I love a good love story!

Most of us remember Ron Howard as the adorable Richie Cunningham on *Happy Days.*
He was so cute and so sweet on the show, and tons of our teenage hearts grew three sizes thinking about how he would probably make just the best boyfriend ever!
Of course, now he’s better known as an established film director, responsible for films such as Apollo 13 , A Beautiful Mind , and Frost/Nixon but for us, he’ll always be little Richie Cunningham!
Well, we were right about him being the perfect boyfriend (and eventual husband) as he’s been madly in love with his wife, Cheryl, for FIFTY YEARS!
Back in November, Ron celebrated the anniversary of their very first date.
“Nov 1 1970 Cheryl & I went on our 1st date,” he shared on Instagram at the time. ” We went to see a re-release of Stanley Kramer’s It’s a Mad Mad Mad World and then got some pizza at now defunct Barnone’s in Toluca Lake.”
“Quite a start, right?” he continued.
“Today we are celebrating with these kind of socks we ordered (Cheryl’s w/my mug got held up) and a trip to our local take-out pizza place,” Ron wrote alongside a picture of himself wearing socks with Cheryl’s face on them. “We’ll be driving in the same ‘70 VW Bug I picked Cheryl up in 5 decades ago.”
“It runs great. So do we,” his post concluded.
Now if that’s not the most romantic story you’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is.
Now, Mr. Romance Ron is celebrating his 46th wedding anniversary with a sweet post that fans can’t get enough of!
“Our 46th Wedding anniversary,” he captioned the sweet selfie. “Celebrated quietly but beautifully on the #GoldCoast #QLD on my day off from directing #ThirteenLives for #MGM and @imagineentertainment. I’m a lucky fella.”
“Happy Anniversary! That’s quite an accomplishment nowadays! So blessed to have each other,” wrote one fan.
“This is the best post ever! Love you two together!” echoed another.
Happy anniversary to this sweet couple. Cheers to many more happy years!
