Okay, I’m officially obsessed. You ever see a couple so timeless, so genuinely in sync that you have to stop scrolling? That’s exactly what happened when I saw Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary. Like, we’re talking iconic-level love story here college sweethearts, comedy legends, and still looking at each other like it’s prom night.
Julia and Brad first met in the ’80s at Northwestern University (major rom-com vibes already). She auditioned for a comedy troupe performance Brad was producing with the Practical Theatre Company, and boom, sparks flew. Fast forward a bit and the two of them were recruited by Saturday Night Live. Can we take a second to appreciate how wild that is? Imagine falling in love and landing SNL at the same time.
They got married on June 25, 1987, in a sweet Santa Barbara church, and apparently, Julia fashioned her wedding dress after Princess Diana’s. Stop. That is too pure.
Over the years, they’ve shared the screen, raised two sons (Henry and Charlie Hall), walked countless red carpets, and managed to stay completely obsessed with each other through it all. You won’t believe some of the moments they’ve shared:
- Rocked black tie glam at a 2000 Democratic Fundraiser Gala at the Beverly Hilton
- Gave major couple goals at the 12th Annual Environmental Media Awards in 2002
- Stunned on the red carpet while Julia was pregnant at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 1997
- Went scuba diving together to celebrate their 33rd anniversary (talk about adventure goals)
- Showed up as a family unit at the 71st Emmy Awards to support their queen Julia, who was nominated for Veep
And here’s the twist that made me emotional Julia posted a throwback on Instagram that read, “31,000 years ago today, I married my current boyfriend.” I mean… who says stuff like that after nearly 40 years?
She’s been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, won Emmys for The New Adventures of Old Christine, and kept the comedy world spinning, and Brad? Always by her side, beaming like he just met her yesterday.
Seriously, this isn’t just a celebrity marriage. It’s a full-blown cinematic masterpiece that just keeps getting better. If you ever doubted lasting love in Hollywood, this is your sign.
Now excuse me while I go rewatch all of Julia’s shows and cry a little.
