\"We've lived as husband and wife for a decade,\" she continued. \"We've built a family, and a farm and found our community. For years, publications have reported that we got married in 2014 or 2015 and that I've been married and divorced before. All untrue. But WE knew our truth. So it felt silly to try and correct anything.\"
Burton added, \"Here's the God’s honest fact: From the moment I met @jeffreydeanmorgan, he was my husband. Rather than make vows right out of the gate, we lived them. For over ten years. The good times and the bad. Standing up there with our children at our sides -- celebrating all that has been -- was bliss.\"
Morgan, 53, was much more succinct. \"I’d say words… but there aren’t any. Mrs Morgan…. I love you. Thank you for making me the luckiest man in the world. Xojd.\"
The couple has two children together: a 9-year-old son, Gus, and 19-month-old daughter, George.
