Rebecca Metz took to Instagram this week to commemorate a series of special benchmarks in her life with partner Andy Herrmann. In a post featuring a carousel of warm snapshots, the Better Things star reflected on “19 years after our first date… 18 years after finding our home… 14 years after sealing the deal,” before adding, “I wake up every damn day knowing how lucky I am to have found my person.

Instagram Tribute

The gallery opens with Metz and Herrmann sharing a candid laugh over candlelight, followed by a shot of them raising glasses in a toast. Another image zooms in on the pair’s entwined hands atop a rustic table at what appears to be their favorite local restaurant. Each photograph captures genuine joy—the kind that comes from nearly two decades of shared experiences, from late-night conversations to family gatherings.

By tagging @andyhermannla, Metz offers a rare glimpse at the man behind the scenes—her longtime confidant and husband of 14 years. The timeline she outlines touches on first sparks (2005), homeownership (2006) and marriage (2010), underscoring how their relationship has grown in stages that many couples cherish.

Career Highlights

While her personal life is front and center, Metz is best known to fans for her work on FX’s critically acclaimed comedy-drama Better Things, in which she portrays Tressa. Over the past decade, she’s balanced television roles with guest turns on series like Black Mirror and procedural dramas. In fact, earlier this year she posted behind-the-scenes photos from the Black Mirror FYC campaign, captioned simply, “Dropped a pea at the Black Mirror #FYC.”

Metz has also teased a role on CBS’s Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage, writing in a previous Instagram update, “Pssssst… if you like seeing me (and/or @rachelbayjones and/or @thisisanniepotts and/or every fabulous person on the show) in stuff, you should probably watch Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage Thu. 5/1 on CBS!”

These career snapshots highlight Metz’s range—from dry comedic timing to heartfelt drama—mirroring the authenticity she brings to celebrating real-life moments like this anniversary.

A Look Back And Ahead

Fans and friends quickly flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. Co-star Pamela Adlon chimed in with a string of red-heart emojis, while one follower wrote, “You two are relationship goals!”

Metz and Herrmann have largely kept their romance private, occasionally sharing glimpses like a low-key trip to New Orleans or a cozy night at home. Their Instagram feeds reveal an easygoing partnership built on mutual respect, humor and a shared love of good food and travel.

As the couple embarks on their 20th year together, Metz’s anniversary post stands out for its brevity and warmth. Without delving into flowery prose, she let the numbers speak: nearly two decades of first dates, home projects, vows and unwavering support.

Through life’s ups and downs—career breakthroughs, family milestones and everyday moments—Rebecca Metz and Andy Herrmann have crafted a story that fans can’t help but admire. Their journey serves as a reminder that love often flourishes in small, steady steps rather than grand gestures.

The actress closed her tribute with a simple declaration of gratitude, reaffirming that even after 14 years of marriage, the magic of discovering “your person” never truly fades.

As they raise a glass to the future, fans are left celebrating alongside the couple, eager to see what the next chapter holds for these two longtime partners in life and love.
