Craig Melvin is celebrating a marriage milestone with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak! The Today host and the Fox Sports anchor marked their 13th wedding anniversary in the sweetest way.
Lindsay, 46, posted a tribute to her husband on Instagram on Thursday, October 17.
“Lucky number 13! Seems like yesterday you were heckling me in the newsroom. What a wild, wonderful journey this has been,” she captioned a photo of her and Craig, 45, from when they first met as well as a photo from their wedding. “At the core of it – family, faith, friendships and finding ways to help one another grow – even when it’s outside our comfort zones. Here’s to the unexpected adventures ahead. Happy Anniversary Melvin! I’m so glad you chose to move to DC 🙂 #happyanniversary #love #family #anniverary #wedding.”
The happy couple first met in 2008 when they were working together at WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. Love blossomed at the station and they wed in 2011. Their love story is certainly one for the books!
“That night when we met, there was something that clicked. And it wasn’t necessarily that I knew, ‘I have to be with this guy.’ But it was like, ‘I don’t want to be with anyone else that I’d hung out with,’” she told The Washington Post in October 2011. “It felt like being with the person that really gets you and that you’ve known for a really, really long time.”
Craig and Lindsay welcomed two children together, son Delano and daughter Sybil.
Today fans love hearing stories about Craig’s life as a husband and a dad. He lives with his family in a gorgeous home in Connecticut.
“I didn’t even realize some of the emotions I’m capable of having until I had my own children,” the dad of two told Garden & Gun in May. “I wanted to write a book that helped all the dads out there. It’s a love letter to fatherhood.”
Craig also revealed his best parenting advice that was given to him by Today costar Al Roker, who is a dad of three.
“Several years ago, before my second child was born, one of my dear friends and mentors, Al Roker, and I were talking about fatherhood, and how everyone worries about what the second child is going to be like and how different they’re going to be,” Craig recalled. “And he said to me: I’ve discovered that they will parent you. Your children will show you and tell you what they need.”
“It’s one of the things that I’ve discovered, too: Things are never as bad as you think they are, and things are never as good as you think they are,” the Pops author added. “I’m trying to live my life just right here in the middle, and I’ve tried to approach parenting the same way. If at night when we’re tucking them into bed and no one’s bleeding or screaming and there hasn’t been a compound fracture, that’s a good thing. So my best advice: Exhale. It’s going to be just fine.”
