Penn Badgleyfeels like a lucky man!
On Tuesday, the formerGossip Girlstar praised his wife,Domino Kirke,in a heartfelt tribute in honor of her 32nd birthday.
“Happy birthday, Dom. A super-brief review of your invisible qualities: A truly radiant soul, you seem to spark alight almost everyone you meet, like a 99% success rate. It’s really impressive, and quite mysterious,” Badgley, 33, began his note on Instagram.
Alongside the emotional note, theYoustar shared a sweet video of Kirke — sister toGirlsstarJemima Kirke— in the snow, along with a romantic black-and-white photo of the couple surrounded in candlelight.
Badgley and Kirke, a singer turned doula and birth educator, were first romantically linked in 2014. After three years of dating, the couplequietly tied the knotin February 2017, in an intimate courthouse ceremony in Brooklyn, exchanging vows in front of a small handful of friends and family.

They later celebrated witha second weddingin June of that year, this time with a larger, outdoor ceremony and reception in upstate New York, with celebrity guests — including Mariska Hargitay, Zac Posen andDebra Messing— in attendance.
Badgley is now a stepfather to Kirke’s son, Cassius Riley, and they all live together in Brooklyn. Last year, the actor opened up to PEOPLE about how his spirituality andstudy of the Bahá’í faithprepared him for marriage and fatherhood.
“I don’t think I could truly value human love until I developed divine love,” Penn told PEOPLE. “[Domino and I] very much had a romantic beginning, and I think that you discover in marriage that what sustains a marriage for decades — there are less and less people who can tell us this — but I think it has something to do with [divine] love.”
