It's a special day in the Wahlberg-McCarthy household, as Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy celebrate their wedding anniversary, marking nine years since they tied the knot on August 31, 2014.

The Masked Singer judge, 50, kicked things off with a heartfelt tribute to her husband, sharing a slew of photographs from their relationship over the years, including snippets from their wedding.

She sweetly penned: "As I reflect on our journey, I feel honored, grateful and blessed that I get to live inside the greatest love story ever lived.

"I'm grateful for your kindness that touches every soul you meet, and the love that has become the very heartbeat of my existence. As each passing year passes, I fall in love with you all over again. With you, every moment is a treasure, every memory is a masterpiece, and every day is a celebration of the beautiful love we share."

Jenny added: "Here's to us, my love – to the past we've cherished, the present we hold, and the future that awaits us. Thank you for being my partner, my confidant, and my forever love. Happy Anniversary."
