Actress Hilarie Burton took to Instagram to celebrate her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s birthday with a heartfelt tribute that has fans swooning. The former “One Tree Hill” star shared a loving message alongside a family photo featuring the couple with their children.
“How did we get so lucky? We couldn’t love you more, @jeffreydeanmorgan. Happy Birthday to our hero,” Burton captioned the post, adding three kissing emojis to emphasize her affection.
The birthday post highlights the strong bond between Burton and Morgan, who have become one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples. Fans were quick to join in the celebration, flooding the comments section with birthday wishes for “The Walking Dead” actor.
A Hollywood Love Story
Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s relationship has been going strong for over a decade. The couple began dating in 2009 after being introduced by Morgan’s “Supernatural” co-star Jensen Ackles and his wife Danneel, who was Burton’s co-star on “One Tree Hill.”
They welcomed their first child, son Augustus “Gus” Morgan, in 2010, and their daughter, George Virginia Morgan, was born in 2018. After years together, the couple officially tied the knot in October 2019 in an intimate ceremony with close friends and family.
Burton has never shied away from expressing her love for Morgan on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she referred to him as “my comfort” while sharing photos from their appearance at the AMC Upfronts for their respective shows. “You’re a helluva catch. I ❤️ Negan,” she wrote, referencing Morgan’s iconic character from “The Walking Dead.”
Partners In Work And Life
Beyond their personal relationship, Burton and Morgan have also become creative collaborators. The couple owns Mischief Farm in Rhinebeck, New York, where they split their time between Hollywood projects and rural farm life.
Recently, they’ve expanded their partnership into producing content together. Their production company just released its first horror film, “Bloody Axe Wound,” which is now streaming on Shudder. Burton proudly announced the project on her Instagram, describing it as a place to “re-energize your ‘fuck the patriarchy’ ‘pro-queer-love’ ‘feminine rage’ energy” and calling it a “campy, gory, throwback horror/comedy.”
In another post about their professional relationship, Burton wrote, “I love this dude. At home. At work. At the grocery store. (Seriously, he’s the most fun to grocery shop with). One day we’ll do a show together. Putting it out into the universe.”
A Multi-Talented Couple
Both Burton and Morgan have impressive careers in the entertainment industry. Burton is best known for her role as Peyton Sawyer on The WB/CW drama “One Tree Hill” and as the host of MTV’s “Total Request Live.” She has also appeared in shows like “White Collar,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Lethal Weapon.”
Meanwhile, Morgan has gained widespread acclaim for his role as Negan in AMC’s “The Walking Dead” and its spinoff “Dead City.” His career also includes memorable roles in “Supernatural,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Watchmen,” and “The Good Wife.”
The couple’s combined talent and obvious affection for each other have made them fan favorites both on and off screen. Their latest birthday celebration is just one more example of the genuine love they share.
Family First
Despite their busy careers, Burton and Morgan have made it clear that family comes first. They’ve created a lifestyle that balances their Hollywood commitments with a more grounded existence on their farm in upstate New York.
Their social media accounts frequently feature glimpses into their family life, from farm activities to casual moments at home. This birthday tribute is another reminder of how they prioritize their relationship and family bonds amidst their professional success.
As Morgan celebrates another year, the loving message from his wife reminds fans why this couple continues to be relationship goals in an industry where lasting partnerships can be rare.
