Terry Crews & His Wife Rebecca Tell Their 37-Year Love Story, From College Sweethearts to Hollywood

Terry Crews and his wife Rebecca King Crews are reflecting on their 37-year love story — from meeting as college sweethearts to building a marriage that’s endured real-life challenges, faith and forgiveness. The couple, who married in 1989, first met at a church event where Rebecca, then a single mom, remembers thinking, “Why is this boy wearing a skintight shirt to church?”

Over the years, their relationship faced serious ups and downs, including a separation that nearly broke them. “As far as I was concerned, I was ending it,” Rebecca shares, recalling how she “argued with God” before deciding to wait and see if Terry would change. That turning point came 16 years ago, and today, they say their bond is stronger than ever. Getting emotional, Terry reflects, “Love hurts… the love I received from her truly has made me a better man.”
