How Mark and Sunrise’s Relationship Began

It’s not easy being married to an actor and being the children of an actor. I’m away a lot. This whole thing is distorting and difficult.
—Mark Ruffalo, Actor
Despite the irregular hours and public attention, Mark has made it a priority to celebrate his wife and children at every opportunity. For Sunrise’s 52nd birthday, he wrote a heartfelt Instagram message, reaffirming his love and hope for their future together.
You only get better with each passing year. Now the real fun starts. We love you. Us.
—Mark Ruffalo, Actor
Sunrise responded with gratitude and affection, keeping their exchange intimate and sincere.
