Katherine Heigl and Husband Josh Kelley: A Timeline of Their Relationship

Katherine Heigl and her husband, Josh Kelley, are still going strong.

Heigl met the singer  in 2005, and the couple got engaged soon after. They tied the knot at Stein Eriksen Lodge in Utah in 2007 before welcoming their son, Joshua, in 2016. (The twosome also share adopted daughters Naleigh and Adalaide, who joined the family in 2009 and 2012, respectively.)

Heigl spoke exclusively to Us Weekly in 2014 about her lasting relationship with Kelley. “I think that we just really enjoy each other,” the Knocked Up actress told Us at the time, adding, “He’s kind of my best friend. I think that can be tricky. When it starts to become too much of a friendship and not enough of a romance, that can also be a problem.”

Yup, 10 years people! A few things have changed since then. I quit smoking, thank God! I’ve put on a few pounds. I don’t often do spontaneously weird things like take random bathtub photos in the middle of the night anymore. But what hasn’t changed, is that burning desire in me to be with this man.”
