On Saturday, Sept. 28, the actor, 56, posted a poetic tribute to his wife Kathryn Boyd Brolin on Instagram shortly after their eighth wedding anniversary, marking more than ten years together.

Sharing a photo of his wife smiling at the camera on a street at night, Josh wrote in the caption,

“This is the anniversary I'm celebrating. Over a decade with this then fledgling, now veteran from under the circus tent,” referring to Kathryn, 36.

“This Europe on us, the pride to be able to roam and wander and wake up before the sun came up, sober and in heat.,” he continued, speaking of a European trip that appeared to be partially captured in the photo.

“The sweet charity of our stupid reigned — the worse decisions, the better — and fun captured us in its talons.”

The Dune: Part Two star went on to say in his tribute to Kathryn, “This life has always been romantic with you.”

“Let us not become too practical with it all,” Josh urged in his message. “The stale Medusa politics that turn our dance to stone we must be weary of, for without our sense of wonderment … we grow older and older and closer to the chuckle that might even define us by the end. To you. To us. Amen."

“8 Years... 🪐✨,” Kathryn wrote in the caption as she proceeded to quote the poem Lines for Ponce de Leon by Myron H. Broomell.

“Ageless at forty, as at eighty fade. The virgin kiss and the approaching spade, the lovers of their past in thought behold. Each ravished hope bestowing happy gold — Knowing so well what it was like to live, they still would have what now no death can give,” she wrote.

In the photo she posted, the couple stood with their backs turned to the camera as they gazed over at a hill while standing outdoors in their bride and groom outfits.

Josh and Kathryn went public with their romance on a trip to Rome in 2014, after reportedly meeting on set when she was an assistant the year prior. T

the couple tied the knot in September 2016 and share daughters Westlyn, 5, and Chapel, 3.
