Is there anything more beautiful than a man in love? It’s even more heartwarming when it includes honoring the woman in his life. ‘Marvel’ actor Mark Ruffalo just hit a significant milestone—25 years of marriage. He celebrated the special day by honoring it with deep love and gratitude for his wife.
On Wednesday, June 11, the “Hulk” actor, 57, took to Instagram to share a touching tribute to his wife, Sunrise Coigney, in celebration of their silver anniversary.
Mark Ruffalo’s Heartfelt Message For Wife Sunrise
Alongside a series of photos from their journey together, Ruffalo wrote: “Happy 25th Anniversary, Sunrise, my love and partner and friend,” He added, “We gone up and got down, got in and get off, laughed when it was lousy, grew gardens with our tears, danced through fears and trudged and skipped through the years, and with every tussle we hung tough with our love and our exquisite touch.”
“It’s not always been pretty, but it’s always been beautiful,” he continued. “These two imperfect lovers holding on all along. Diamond girl, my diamond girl, would you be mine for the next twenty-five?”
The message wasn’t just a celebration—it was a reflection—a tribute to every high and low, every laugh and every scar that made their bond stronger.
Mark and Sunrise’s Love Story in Photos
Ruffalo paired his emotional note with a carousel of romantic images spanning the decades. The first photo, a throwback of the couple in their younger days, featured his words scrawled across the top:
“25 years of everything god or devil had to give and still going strong. Grateful and humbled. Thank you, lover for it all.”
Other snapshots showed the couple kissing on a sunlit beach, relaxing in bed with a sweet forehead kiss, embracing in a bathroom mirror selfie, and beaming with their kids on a boat in a lake. The photos captured real love—the kind that survives time, change, and life.

In a 2017 Men’s Journal interview, Ruffalo remembered the moment he knew:
