Mark Ruffalo and wife Sunrise Coigney have been together since the late ’90s — and their connection has only grown over time.
The pair met by chance while walking the streets of Los Angeles in 1998. “I saw her and was like, ‘I’m going to marry that girl,’” Ruffalo recalled to Men’s Journal in May 2013.
After two years of dating, the pair tied the knot in 2000. One year into their marriage, the 13 Going on 30 actor was diagnosed with a brain tumor that required surgery. At the time, Coigney was pregnant with their first child.
The surgery was a success, and the couple welcomed their first child, son Keen, in 2001. Ruffalo and Coigney later expanded their family with daughters Bella in 2005 and Odette in 2007.
As his career has grown, Coigney and their kids have become Ruffalo’s biggest supporters.
“[They] let me go off and bring these crazy people home and they have to live with [them] all these years,” Ruffalo gushed about his family after winning a Golden Globe in 2021. “Thank you, guys.”
