The actors continued, "We've had ups, we've had downs; we gained two amazing children; but lost cherished family members and friends… We've had successes, we've had failures; we've had spectacular wins, we've had devastating losses… But through it all there's been one, beautiful constant: We've always had each other!"

"Thank you God for each and everyone one of these 25 years!" Bassett, 64, and Vance, 62, concluded. "We can't wait to do 25 more!"

The message and accompanying video were shared to both of their Instagram pages.

Bassett and Vance are parents to 16-year-old twins Slater and Bronwyn.
