Christy Turlington and Edward Burns look better than ever with graying hair as they celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary.
Turlington, 57, who rose to stardom in the ’90s as one of the fashion world’s legendary supermodels alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford, has made a name for herself in recent years as an activist and documentarian working to advocate for the health of mothers during pregnancy and childbirth. Burns, 58, an actor and director who also skyrocketed to stardom in the ’90s, is best known for his beloved indie film The Brothers McMullen, as well as more recent works like Summer Days, Summer Nights, and Millers in Marriage.
Turlington shared a series of photos in honor of their anniversary, as well as the debut of her husband’s latest film, Finnegan’s Foursome. Standing alongside Burns, the former supermodel and her man looked incredible with graying hair.

Turlington Founded a Maternal Health Nonprofit
After going back to school at 26 to get her undergrad degree at NYU, Turlington returned to school at 39 to get a master’s in public health. She’s the founder of Every Mother Counts, a maternal health care nonprofit organization. While she has two children, she previously told Glamour that the organization is “very much like my third child.”
In regard to her best professional advice, Turlington advised that people “cultivate meaningful relationships.”
“I really do try to listen very attentively to any kind of personal story that someone is sharing with me. Not in any kind of game way, but in a true way. Because the more I can absorb in whatever amount of time that I spend with anyone, the more closely we can connect and the more that I will be able to take forward into another relationship at some point,” she said. “There are so many relationships I’ve had since I was a teenager in my first profession that, while I don’t see people very frequently, they come in really handy in other areas of life. The more you put in at the very beginning, I think, the possibilities are that much greater. You just never know where anyone is going to move on to or be.”
Christy and Edward are Empty Nesters
With their kids now adults, Turlington and Burns are getting their first dose of life as empty nesters. While they’re not too used to being on their own, Burns shared his best marriage advice, saying the duo believes in talking things out.
“It’s a cliche to say, but it’s communication,” Burns told USA Today last year. “You kind of know (in the) early days, are you a couple that talks? And if you do, I think you’re going to be fine. That’s worked out for us.”
