In her post dated June 8, Turlington, who is now 57, reflected on their journey together. Accompanying her message were photographs from the premiere of Burns’ latest film, *Finnegan’s Foursome*, which took place during the 2026 Tribeca Festival in New York City. The model described their time together as filled with “mostly laughter, adventure, and becoming by your side,” with the celebration being highlighted by the presence of friends and family, alongside the excitement of Game 3 of the NBA playoffs.
“Congratulations on your latest film, Finnegan’s Foursome,” she wrote. “What a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary – surrounded by friends and family last night in NYC.” Turlington’s enthusiastic post also included a spirited cheer for the New York Knicks, showcasing her support for both her husband and the sports team.
Directed by Burns, *Finnegan’s Foursome* is a sports comedy centred around two Irish-American brothers who reconnect with their competitive golfing roots while honouring their late father. The film features an ensemble cast, including Brian d’Arcy James, Erica Hernandez, and Ian McElhinney, and is set for release on June 19.
Despite their high-profile careers, Turlington and Burns maintain a relatively low-key public presence. Over the years, Turlington has consistently shown her support for Burns, attending events with him and posting about their life together on social media. The couple shares two adult children, Grace, aged 22, and Finn, aged 20, who have kept their family life largely private.
In a 2024 interview, Burns discussed an important rule they established early in their marriage regarding their professional commitments. He explained that the couple agreed to never travel for work at the same time, prioritising family stability. “If a job came up for me or a job came up for her, we would have to make a decision. If they happened at the same time, someone would have to pass, so that somebody was always home,” he told *PEOPLE* magazine.
This strategy has seemingly contributed to their successful partnership and allows for a supportive environment for their children. Burns expressed gratitude for this arrangement, stating it has played a key role in maintaining their strong relationship and ensuring their children felt secure.
In another discussion with *PEOPLE*, Burns elaborated on the couple’s intention to protect their children’s privacy, noting their decision to keep family life separate from their careers in the entertainment industry. “We made a choice, and I think part of the reason we’re still very happily married and our kids are in a great place was we never took them to a movie premiere or any entertainment event,” he remarked.
This desire to foster a normal upbringing for Grace and Finn appears to have paid off, as the couple’s children have grown up without the pressures that often accompany a life in the public eye. Turlington and Burns have focused on being present parents, allowing their children to see them not just as public figures, but as dedicated mum and dad.
As Turlington and Burns celebrate more than twenty-three years of partnership, their commitment to one another and their family stands as a testament to their shared values. With ongoing projects, personal growth, and strong familial bonds, Turlington and Burns continue to navigate the complexities of fame while nurturing their love. They exemplify how a balanced approach to family and career can lead to enduring happiness in marriage.
