Terry Crews Goes Down Memory Lane To Mark Over 3 Decades Of Marriage
The former NFL player recently marked his 36th wedding anniversary, celebrating the momentous occasion with fans on Instagram. He counted down the decades with a heartwarming photo dump that showcased his rosy love life with his beautiful wife.
Terry Crews and Rebecca King-Crews tied the knot on July 29, 1989. They have five children, four daughters and a son, and continue to appear head over heels for each other. However, the 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' has repeatedly credited his decades-long marriage to unrelenting hard work.
Terry Crews Drops Emotional Carousel For 36th Wedding Anniversary
Terry marked his big day with Rebecca with fifteen pictures that captured their years-long relationship. The slideshow started with a close-up image of the couple outdoors. Rebecca kissed the side of her husband's head while he stared intently at the camera.
The words 'how many months have you been together?' were written above their heads, followed by 'months???' in the next image. The second post showed the couple's whole outfit, revealing they donned similar yellow ensembles, while the third picture started the countdown of Terry and Rebecca's relationship.
The countdown began in 2025 with a snap of the lovebirds in the pool, followed by a family picture from 2023. The remaining images showed Terry bonding with Rebecca, shots of their children, and finally, throwback images of the lovebirds in their youth from 1988 to a photograph of their 1989 wedding.
Fans In Awe Of The Actor's Decades-Long Relationship
Terry's love for his wife radiated through the sideshow and the post's caption. '36 years and just getting started!! Happy anniversary, @rebeccakingcrews [red heart emoji],' he exclaimed. His touching words received thousands of positive responses from fans, who commemorated his anniversary.
'You've loved this woman longer than I've been alive, and that is such a wondrous thing. I've been married for ten years and think sometimes about how one day I will have loved her longer than I lived without her,' someone mused.
Another agreed Terry loved his wife, writing, 'This is what you call true love and having a genuine partner in life.'
'What a beautiful couple you guys are. I hope [there are] many more happy years to come,' a supporter added. The love for Terry and Rebecca continued, with some playfully mocking the entertainer's signature bald look. 'They started when he still had hair. Love it,' an IG user penned.
More About The Couple's Love Story
Terry and Rebecca first met at Western Michigan University in the 1980s before the actor's NFL career skyrocketed him into stardom. Although they crossed paths in college, their relationship almost remained platonic, with Rebecca once revealing her husband was 'a little too nice.'
Fortunately, they became college sweethearts and tied the knot on July 29, 1989, after dating for a few years. PEOPLE reported they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary with a big bash in 2019. The lavish affair occurred at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, California, with multiple stars in attendance.
Terry revealed in 2024 that Rebecca suffered three miscarriages during their efforts to start a family. They eventually welcomed four children, daughters Azriél, Tera, and Wynfrey, and son Isaiah. The entertainer also adopted Rebecca's daughter, Naomi, from a previous relationship.
The 'America's Got Talent' Host's Marriage Nearly Ended After Twenty Years
Early this year, Terry opened up about his longtime marriage to Rebecca and how they nearly separated after twenty years. He declared 'it was over' during that challenging point of their love life; however, they managed to rebuild their broken bond.
'We decided we were going to be stronger together. It was a decision that we decided to make,' Terry explained. He credited their unrelenting dedication and hard work for their decades-long marriage, noting that most people thought love was enough to withstand the test of time.
'It's work. It's work. It's really work. You have to get better at it, it's a skill. There's a lot of things I had to relearn,' Terry claimed. He added that sometimes he wanted to quit, but Rebecca wouldn't give up on their marriage, and vice versa. Thanks to their persevering spirit, the Crews remain unshakable.
Terry Crews Got Candid About His Toxic Side In A Memoir
Terry has never shied away from addressing his faults and did so in 2022 by releasing the memoir 'Tough.' The Blast covered the story, reporting that the book followed his 2014 hit "Manhood: How to Be a Better Man — Or Just Live with One."
Like the first book, the TV personality dived into the toxic traits men embodied and how he once believed these behaviors showcased his masculinity. 'As a former, what I would call, 'toxic male' — that term 'toxic masculinity' has been used a lot, and it's actually been misused,' Terry said in an interview.
'The term I really love right now is just 'abuse of power' — and that really, really resonated with who I was; but then people just had more questions about how this goes down and what forms this, and how do you get control of this?' Terry added.
He noted these frequent queries inspired him to write the memoir to help other men heal.
Here's to hoping Terry Crews spends more blissful years with his family!

Where renowned LI chefs eat lobster rolls when off the clock
Some like it hot — and others cold. Renowned Long Island seafood chefs and restaurant owners are revealing to The Post their go-to places for lobster rolls when off the clock. 'There's a few places on the island that do a great job — and there are some that don't,' said chef Eric LeVine of 317 Main in Farmingdale. Advertisement 12 Chef Eric Levine with a tray of lobster rolls at his restaurant 317 Main in Farmingdale. Dennis A. Clark 'A lot of the time, I find that people will either overcook it, or the lobster will be oversaturated with mayonnaise and too much lemon,' he said. 'This is one of those things that when you find a good lobster roll, you continue to go there.' The experts' list spans far and wide, from the island's border with Queens to the far reaches of the South Fork, with a bevy of different styles and reputations that have been around for decades, and some newcomers, such as Jackson Hall of East Islip, exploding on the scene thanks to social-media clout. Jackson Hall Advertisement It's hard to avoid Instagram videos of chef Mike Landesberg's tantalizing eight — yes, eight — different styles of lobster roll that have brought in customers across the nation, including one city dweller who has said he rides his bike more than seven hours round trip for one. 'We're going through between 5 and 6,000 pounds of lobster every single week,' said Landesberg, a male breast-cancer survivor whose mantra is all about supporting other small businesses. 12 Chef Michael Landesberg showing off a lobster roll at Jackson Hall in East Islip. Dennis A. Clark Now well known as 'the crazy lobster roll guy' — having a first-of-its-kind Long Island roll topped with cajun honey butter, jalapenos and 'secret spices' — online attention and viral videos 'put me on the map,' Landesberg said. Advertisement 'It's been unbelievable. It's doubled sales,' he said of the half-pound product that uses knuckle, claw, and tail. 'We've become like this tourist attraction.' 12 Jackson Hall sells eight different kinds of lobster rolls. Dennis A. Clark When Landesberg leaves the kitchen, his first stop is LeVine's mainstay. 317 Main Advertisement Landesberg called the popular joint smack dab in the middle of Nassau County 'the best-kept secret on Long Island for lobster rolls. 'The meat is fresh because [they do] the tail, knuckle, and claw like I do. It's cooked perfectly, and he pops it out with 8 ounces of fresh lobster. It just melts in your mouth. I just had one last week,' the chef said. LeVine said his quest for the holy tail across the island inspired him to focus on savory simplicity. 12 LeVine sells an 3-foot-long lobster roll at 317 Main. Dennis A. Clark 'We do it with a little bit of salt, pepper, lemon, a little lemon zest and a touch of mayonnaise,' said the chef of his cold treat that's available hot on request. 'That is it.' Success with the sea dish inspired LeVine to start serving a 3-foot-long lobster roll on an onion brioche that quickly became a crowd-pleaser. 12 Landesberg called 317 Main the ''the best-kept secret on Long Island for lobster rolls.' Dennis A. Clark Advertisement 'It's become a talking point,' he said. 'It's a centerpiece. Tables or four or five look at it go, 'Oh, I want to have that.' … It's what separates us from everybody else.' As for LeVine, his go-to outside of his eatery is a few minutes west in Bethpage at Popei's Clam Bar. Popei's Clam Bar LeVine praises owner Joe Reale's role in providing simple perfection. 'It's great flavors, and it's just done right,' said the Farmingdale operator. Advertisement 12 Popei's Claim Bar owner Joseph Reale showing off lobster rolls at his Island Park seafood restaurant. Dennis A. Clark Reale emphasizes lobster tail in his hot and cold rolls and also brings in a zesty lemon flavor that's delightfully paired with Cajun waffle fries that happily evoke a nod to the seasoning used by Checker's. 'Throw it on a nice soft roll, toast it up, and out it goes,' Reale said. 'And it's something unbelievable.' When Reale is hankering for something away from the job, he makes a trip to the end of the line in Amagansett to the legendary restaurant Lobster Roll, a k a Lunch. Advertisement 12 Popei's Clam Bar serves both hot and cold lobster rolls. Dennis A. Clark Lobster Roll Reale said that a trip to Montauk and the Hamptons 'wouldn't be complete without stopping' at the South Fork icon, which opened in 1977 and is known globally for its neon 'Lunch' sign overhead. The roadside sit-down owes its unbeatable product to decades of old-school success in an area that focuses on the new and next, according to ownership. 'It's all about the lobster itself … cold water lobster,' said owning partner Andrea Anthony, a Levittown native and Hofstra University graduate who's worked out east since she was young in the family business. Advertisement 12 Andrea Anthony, the co-owner of Lobster Roll in Amagansett, with a lobster roll. Dennis A. Clark 'The recipe has not changed. We don't add herbs. We don't really get fancy about it. We feel the lobster meat speaks for itself. It's nature's best — there's no reason to alter it.' But Anthony said she would be in quite the pinch if she went public with the half-century recipe. 'We can't really talk about where, because it is actually proprietary,' she said of the hot and cold entrees' source. 12 The Amagansett restaruant is known for its neon 'Lunch' sign. Dennis A. Clark Anthony said her own ideal lobster roll when away from work is back in her old stomping ground at Jordan Lobster Farms in Nassau County. Jordan Lobster Farms The 'nostalgia' of the 50-year-old business, where customers can look and see gigantic tanks of their meal-to-be still swimming, is what keeps drawing Anthony back to the Island Park staple, not far from where she once lived in Point Lookout. 12 A sign outside Jordan Lobster Farms in Island Par. Dennis A. Clark 12 Steve Jordan holding lobster rolls made at his seasfood market. Dennis A. Clark Owner Steve Jordan said that fewer and fewer places toward the city limits are doing lobster rolls these days, which has brought an uptick in clientele that eats what's locally caught both hot and cold. 'We get people who will do the drive [from New York City],' he said, attributing 50 years of success to generations coming back with their little ones. 'It's a family place. … We try to keep the prices down, and the staff make a really good dressing,' added Jordan, whose eatery is currently playing off sharing a half-century anniversary with 'Jaws.' 12 Live lobsters seen at Jordan Lobster Farms. Dennis A. Clark They even made posters that read, 'You're gonna need a bigger bib.' Jordan's personal favorite is near Anthony's old area at the Point Lookout Clam Bar. He not only loves its incredibly 'fresh' served rolls but credits the nearby joint for having wonderful and friendly service.

Greenpoint man on mission to litter nabe with stickers of dogs
Stickers of smiling local dogs have been mysteriously blanketing Greenpoint this summer — as part of a guerrilla-style campaign to inject happiness into the canine-obsessed nabe. The project is spearheaded by Nick Padilla, a seventh-grade math teacher who shares a passion for pups that is something of a requirement for living in the trendy corner of Brooklyn. 6 Math teacher Nick Padilla has been leaving stickers of dogs throughout Greenpoint. Stefano Giovannini 'People really love their dogs here. When you go into bars and people start talking about their dogs, they just light up and go and go and go,' Padilla told The Post. 'Dogs are the greatest thing in the world.' Padilla, 37, said some of the first stickers he plastered around town were of his own four-legged best friend, Hobbes. The teacher said he was forced to put down his tiny mutt — who was lovingly referred to as 'the Chief' because his bossy attitude greatly outweighed his small frame — in April after a series of health problems. He said the stickers serve as a small reminder of his beloved dog — and that he hopes other canine lovers can experience the same burst of happiness when they see their pets on them, too. 6 Neighbors are encouraged to submit photos of their pups to an anonymous email, and Padilla then turns them into stickers. Stefano Giovannini 'I feel like I would like it if I just got to go somewhere else and see my dog,' the teacher said. 'That's a really cool feeling because you get to see your dog in the wild. It's a stupid thing, but it's exciting.' He said he spent his July procuring pictures of his neighbor's dogs through an anonymous email, then printed them out and began stealthily slapping them across any sign, trash can and even bar bathrooms. So far, he's stuck around 100 mini hounds throughout the Brooklyn neighborhood as part of a project he says is driven purely through communal love of dogs and in hopes of spreading smiles. 6 'When you go into bars and people start talking about their dogs, they just light up and go and go and go,' Padilla said. Stefano Giovannini 6 Each batch of 100 stickers costs about $94 to print. Stefano Giovannini 6 Placing stickers on public property is a crime that comes with a $75 ticket. Stefano Giovannini The area is ripe for the project, the dog-lover said. 'You go to bars, and so many bars that let dogs in. My grocery store has dog treats,' Padilla said. 6 'Dogs are the greatest thing in the world,' Padilla said. Stefano Giovannini Although Padilla is not necessarily keeping his identity a secret, there have been no name exchanges between him and the pet lovers sending in pictures of the pooches. 'It's about the dogs,' he said. The Big Apple educator recently launched an Instagram for the project that features all the sticky hounds, as well as a list of their likes and dislikes. His ultimate goal is to blanket the area until each local pooch gains celebrity status and gets recognized on their daily strolls through McCarren Park. Each batch of 100 stickers costs around $94 — which is a little higher than the $75 price of a graffiti violation for slapping the doggie images on public property. But Padilla says the price is worth the happiness he aims to spread. 'I really, really love this neighborhood so much. It means a lot to me. I've been here for 14 years, and I don't have any plans on leaving, so if this is something, a little thing, I can do to make neighbors happier, that's really fun,' he said.
