They've been together since the early '80s, quietly defying Hollywood expectations while popping up on red carpets and in intimate family moments — and their archive of throwback photos tells a warm, surprising story. Read on to discover the full story!

How they met

Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline first crossed paths at an audition in 1982 for The Big Chill; Kline won a part, while Cates did not. That beginning led to a lasting bond that blossomed into marriage years later.

A private wedding and growing family

The pair wed in a private New York City ceremony on March 5, 1989. They went on to welcome two children: son Owen in 1991 and daughter Greta in 1994. Their family even appeared together on screen, with the kids cast in The Anniversary Party (2001).
