Paul StanleyandErin Suttonhave nearly two decades down and “forever” to go!
TheKISSfrontman, 72, shared a specialmessage to his wife on X(formerly known as Twitter) alongside a throwback photo from their wedding, as they celebrated their 19-year marriage anniversary.
In the snap he shared, the pair could be seen smiling widely as they posed for the camera after saying “I do.” Stanley’s arm could be seen wrapped around Sutton’s — with his new wedding band in focus — as she held her wedding bouquet.
“HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!,” he captioned a photo. “Married 19 years today and I know one lifetime will never be enough.”
The pair wed in November 2005, four years after they first started dating. Since then, they have welcomed three children:Colin Michael, Sarah Brianna andEmily Grace. Sutton is also stepmom to Stanley’s adult son, musician Evan Shane, from the singer’s previous marriage to Pamela Bowen. Stanley and Bowen wed in 1992 and divorced in 2001.
