She shared a heartwarming photo of her and Shepard where they could be seen sharing an intimate hug.
The loved-up photo was accompanied by a quote from Shepard in the caption, which reads, “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.’”
