See Photos of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Husband Brad Hall as the Couple Celebrates Their 38th Wedding Anniversary
Julia Louis-Dreyfus first met husband Brad Hall at Northwestern University back in the '80s and the rest was history.
The pair, who performed together while in college, would later take their talents to Saturday Night Live and beyond. They got married on June 25, 1987 and welcomed their first son Henry Hall on June 30, 1992. Five years later, they grew their family as their second boy, Charles Hall, joined the family.
Over the years, the couple has also collaborated on a few projects, including SNL, an early-2000s comedy titled Watching Ellie and a 2012 short film called Picture Paris.
'He always appreciates the hard work but sometimes he'll say… we are honest with one another so that if he doesn't think it quite works or something, he'll tell me why. And I'll do the same with his work,' Louis-Dreyfus revealed while on Live with Kelly and Mark back in 2023.
As the couple celebrates 38 years of marriage, look back at some of their sweetest pictures below.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall met when they were both students at Northwestern University back in the '80s, when Louis-Dreyfus auditioned for a performance Hall was producing with his comedy troupe, the Practical Theatre Company.
She would go on to join and perform with the Company before four of its members — herself and Hall included — would be recruited by Saturday Night Live.
The couple got married on June 25, 1987, in a church in Santa Barbara, California. Thirty-five years into their nuptials, Louis-Dreyfus revealed to Kelly Ripa that she "fashioned" her timeless wedding dress after Princess Diana's.
Louis-Dreyfus and her husband stepped out for a stylish night at the Academy Theater in Beverly Hills back in 1994.
In February 1997, Louis-Dreyfus proudly showed of her baby bump as the happy couple walked the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet together. They would later welcome their second son, Charles "Charlie" Hall, in May that year. Their first son, Henry Hall, joined their family five years earlier in 1992.
The couple looked exquisite in their finest black tie attire at the Angle House Cleaning 2000 Democratic Fundraiser Gala at the Beverly Hilton.
Louis-Dreyfus was all smiles in her man's arms as they attended the 12th Annual Environmental Media Awards in 2002.
"31,000 years ago today, I married my current boyfriend," Louis-Dreyfus wrote under this sweet throwback posted in 2018.
No relationship works without a little adventure and exploration. It appears the couple went scuba diving in this throwback Louis-Dreyfus shared for their 33rd anniversary.
Hall, along with sons Henry and Charlie, smiled with pride as Louis-Dreyfus was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010.
With nearly 40 years under their belt, of course, Hall has been there for all of his wife's biggest milestones. The SNL alumni posed together during the 58th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, where Louis-Dreyfus won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The New Adventures of Old Christine.
And when she walked away a double winner in 2015, Hall was right by her side, beaming from ear to ear. Louis-Dreyfus was awarded a trophy as producer for Outstanding Comedy Series and then for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Brad Hall joined his parents at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards held at Nokia in 2012.
The entire family stepped out to support their queen at the 71st Emmy Awards in 2019, where she was up for two trophies for her work on Veep.
The Seinfeld actress had the full support of her boys at the special screening for her film Tuesday last June.
Nearly four decades of marriage later, the two graced the red carpet for the SNL50: The Anniversary Special at 30 Rock earlier this year in New York.
The lovebirds looked blissful in this selfie taken in the ocean. "34 years in, keeping our head above water. Love and love to the love of my life," she wrote.

Sarah Sherman ‘started hysterically sobbing' after her ‘SNL' checks were sent to late comedy icon's estate
Sarah Sherman is recounting a heartbreaking moment. The 'Saturday Night Live' star, 32, recently revealed a cosmic connection she had to the late Gilda Radner, who appeared on the sketch comedy show from 1975 to 1980, before her 1989 death from ovarian cancer at age 42. 'I got a giant envelope in the mail,' Sherman recounted on Vulture's 'Good One' podcast last week, 'with a handwritten letter that was like, 'Hey, I'm Gilda Radner's brother. Weird thing happened where I've been receiving all of your residuals checks for the past few months.'' Advertisement 8 Sarah Sherman at The Television Academy in 2025.

Advertisement 'I started, like, hysterically sobbing, obviously,' she confessed. 'Because I'm like, 'Okay, God's speaking to me right now.' The fact that my SAG residuals checks had been sent to Gilda Radner's estate?' Sherman immediately told 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels. 8 Gilda Radner attends the 'Saturday Night Live' New York City Premiere on December 12, 1977.

''I feel like this is like a miracle or like I feel like this is a spirit is talking.'' Advertisement 'Obviously, that's a schizophrenic text message,' she quipped. But Michaels, 80, simply replied: 'That's sweet.'

It can't be crazy the whole time. So the show has supported me to move in places that make me understand comedy better.'

Actor Steve Carell says this personality trait is a 'very potent strength' that helped him succeed—CEOs and researchers agree
Steve Carell wants young people to foster a "simple" soft skill — something "we need more of in the world," he said in a commencement speech at Northwestern University on June 15: being kind and respectful to others. Kindness can go a long way in life, the actor and comedian said. It can open doors to new opportunities, allow you to foster deeper connections with your colleagues and help you weather the fear and uncertainty that can come with starting a new chapter in life, he said. "It's difficult for me to process just how much you've all experienced in your young lives," Carell, 62, told the school's graduating class. "I feel your anxiety and your fears about the world around you and it's heartbreaking to me. Remember the little things, like being kind and that you're not alone." "Take care of one another," he added. "Remember to laugh when you have the opportunity and to cry when necessary." Carell has a longstanding public reputation as one of the nicer actors in Hollywood. "His niceness manifests itself mostly in the fact that he never complains. You could screw up a handful of takes outside in 104-degree smog-choked Panorama City heat, and Steve Carell's final words before collapsing of heat stroke would be a friendly and hopeful, 'Hey, you think you have that shot yet?'" former co-star Mindy Kaling wrote in her 2011 book, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? The relationships Carell cultivated with his fellow actors led to job offers and increased responsibility behind the scenes: Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow reportedly both enjoyed working with Carell so much on the movie "Anchorman" that Ferrell offered him a role in "Talladega Nights," and Apatow cast him and made him a co-writer in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." Outside of Hollywood, some other bosses do specifically look for kindness in their workers. Suzy Welch, a three-time New York Times bestselling author and New York University management professor, says she values employees who can give feedback by combining candor with empathy and kindness. Acts of kindness like volunteering, donating money and helping strangers more often can lead to healthier, more fulfilling lives, some happiness experts say. "These things are very strongly correlated with improving one's own life satisfaction, one's own well-being," Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, director of the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, told CNBC Make It on May 29. Kindness is a "dynamic and a virtuous cycle in the sense that, if you're being virtuous and helping others and being kind to others, that obviously helps the receiving party, but it also helps you," De Neve said. On the other hand, being jealous or envious of others is a direct "enemy of kindness," and can lead to competition, insecurity, reduced empathy for others, Carell warned. "Envy comes from ignorance and lack of belief in your own gifts," he said. "Turn your jealousy into admiration and use it to fuel your ambition in a positive way."
