Ben, we made it! We are still married! Yay! Hahaha! 🤞🏾,&quot; she posted.</p><p>The actress expressed her gratitude to Ben for navigating life with her in the past years.</p><p>&quot;So glad we chose to do the work together through life’s ups and downs and that we continue to grow in ways I never could have imagined the day we said our vows. Thank you for your love, patience and your humour even in the darkest of times. Thank you for being strong for the family,&quot; she said.</p>
