Make sure your tissues are handy because Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker just celebrated another wedding anniversary by swapping sweet messages of devotion that are sure to bring happy tears to your eyes.
Monday marked 13 years of marriage for the former Soul Food co-stars, and Austrian-born Kodjoe took to Instagram to share a list of reasons why he loves nothing more than being married to Parker.
“#AnotherThirteen 13 is a number that all humans share,” he began. “There are 13 major joints in our body, 13 degrees the moon travels across the sky, and 13 ways I have been loving you.. ..as a man..as a friend..as the father of your children..as a fan of your craft..as an artist to his muse..as a partner..as a world traveling companion..as an admirer of your beauty..as a supporter of your dreams..as a confidant..as a guardian of your trust..as your secret place of comfort..and as a dancer with your heart and soul.
Are you crying yet?
“For we are doing our own dance, a mysterious and adventurous one, God blessed and favored, through sickness and in health, in joy and in pain, and there’s no one I’d rather share this beautiful dance with than you. Happy anniversary @nicoleariparker” he continued.

Kodjoe, 45, and Parker, 47, met on the set of the Showtime series, which was based on the 1997 hit film of the same name. The two co-starred as love interests before Kodjoe’s character was written off the show but that didn’t stop them from getting romantic in real life. The couple wed in 2005 and welcomed two children together, daughter Sophie and son Nicolas.
Over the years, the two have never stopped making their love a priority and sharing that it takes work to keep the happiness coming.
Happy anniversary you two, and here’s to many more!
