The sweetest moments Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen have shared:
On November 10, 2024, at the premiere of Ted’s new series A Man on the Inside, he couldn’t help but say how happy he and Mary are together.
“We know how blessed we are. We wake up and we laugh together… We celebrate how lucky we are all the time.”
In 2020, Ted and Mary celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. Taking to Instagram, Mary wrote:
“Happy 25th Anniversary! This was SUPPOSED to be a sweet loving anniversary photo but you have a big piece of salad in your teeth. So there it is. Thank you for making me laugh today and every single one of the last 9,125 days. You are the goofiest, wisest, kindest, dreamboat in the world. True, that is a big ass piece of salad but even that doesn’t mar your legendary beauty. I can’t believe how lucky I am. Happy Anniversary, Ted. Love, Mary.”
Mary gushed to People Magazine in 2018 about her marriage with Ted.
“[Our love] just gets more profound and deeper as we go through the blessings and joys, but also the hurdles, of life together. He is my partner in the deepest sense of the word in this life… I would literally sign up for 100 more lifetimes with him,” she said.
Ted stood back and watched Mary shine at the Costume Designers Guild Awards Gala in 2005.
