Jeff Bridges and his wife, Susan Bridges, epitomize the picture-perfect couple.

When the future lovebirds first met when Jeff was filming Rancho Deluxe in 1975, he couldn’t take his eyes off the “gorgeous girl with two black eyes and a broken nose.” He knew then that the beautiful woman — who initially turned him down, as the actor recalled in a 2018 appearance on Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist — would become the love of his life.

Since tying the knot in June 1977, the sweethearts have welcomed three daughters, and their love story has been going strong ever since. To honor their everlasting love, let's look back at Jeff Bridges and Susan Bridges’ most precious photos together over the years.
