"Happy 23d Wedding anniversary gorgeous Gaz and Dawn!" gushed a third, and a fourth added: "You both deserve utmost happiness. Here's to many more Barlow years! Happy Anniversary". 

Gary penned a heartfelt tribute

The couple met in 1995 when Dawn was working as a backup dancer on Take That's Nobody Else tour. They tied the knot in 2000, and have since become loving parents to their three children: Daniel, 22, Emily, 20, and 13-year-old Daisy. Sadly, their fourth child, daughter Poppy, was stillborn in 2012.

In 2019, Gary opened up about his marriage to Dawn and their decision to stay out of the spotlight from the very start of their romance. "We had to keep it quiet because none of the lads were allowed to officially have girlfriends in those days," he told MailOnline. "Dawn hates attention, so it was a big deal for her to date someone like me."

Gary went on to praise his wife, revealing she never complained about his busy schedule. "I see that so much in couples today," he said. "I can't imagine living like that. Dawn's never complained. I've always been given real freedom to go off on tour or lock myself in a recording studio."
