The former couple celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary in May last year. "16 years of marriage, 20 years together, and forever to go. Happy Anniversary," Jessica wrote on Instagram. "I’m proud of us for making it this far. There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family. Through thick and thin, we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another. Cheers to us, I love you."
