Katie Lowes and Adam Shapiro are not just actors but partners in life, celebrating 13 years of marriage as they shared exclusive insights with PEOPLE the day before their milestone anniversary. The couple, who tied the knot on June 23, 2012, and have two kids together, engaged in a heart-to-heart about the secrets that have kept their relationship strong through the years.
Stepping out for a special “date night” at the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s NextGen Annual Summer Party in Los Angeles, Katie Lowes, 42, and Adam Shapiro provided a glimpse into their enduring bond. As they mingled at the event, they reflected on the journey that led them to this significant milestone in their marriage.
According to Shapiro, one key ingredient in their successful union has been couples therapy. The couple emphasised the importance of open communication and seeking professional guidance when needed. Lowes and Shapiro highlighted the value they place on personal growth and nurturing their connection through therapy sessions, whether individual or as a couple.
Apart from therapy, the couple shared that travelling has played a significant role in strengthening their bond. Escaping the bustling chaos of Hollywood and immersing themselves in different cultures has provided them with moments of serenity and deeper connection. By exploring new destinations together, Lowes and Shapiro have been able to create lasting memories and find solace away from the pressures of their industry.
Humour and laughter have also been essential elements in their marriage, with the couple acknowledging Shapiro’s comedic flair. Lowes appreciates her husband’s ability to bring joy into their lives through his humour, highlighting the significance of sharing light-hearted moments together. Their shared laughter has acted as a source of strength and a reminder of the joy they find in each other’s company.
As the couple delved into their plans for their anniversary, Lowes revealed their intention to celebrate with a simple yet meaningful date. While their children are at day camp, the pair planned to enjoy some quality time together with chips and Aperol spritzes, reminiscent of their honeymoon in Italy. The couple’s ability to cherish these small moments of togetherness reflects their commitment to prioritising their relationship amidst their busy lives.
In a surprising turn of events, Shapiro’s venture into the world of pretzel-making added a unique twist to their marriage. Lowes jestingly expressed her initial shock and amusement at discovering her husband’s hidden talent, only to find out later that she could not enjoy his creations due to being diagnosed as celiac. However, Shapiro’s determination to create a gluten-free masterpiece for his wife showcased his unwavering devotion and willingness to adapt to life’s unexpected twists.
As Lowes and Shapiro commemorate their 13th wedding anniversary, their journey serves as a testament to the power of love, laughter, and unwavering support in sustaining a lasting marriage. Through shared experiences, mutual growth, and a deep appreciation for each other’s strengths, the couple continues to navigate life’s obstacles hand in hand, embodying the resilience and joy that comes with a strong partnership.
