Ron posted a selfie of him and Cheryl on Instagram and Twitter with the caption: “Our 46th Wedding anniversary. Celebrated quietly but beautifully on the #GoldCoast #QLD on my day off from directing #ThirteenLives for #MGM and @imagineentertainment.”
“I’m a lucky fella,” he concluded.
He posted a photo of his socks donning Cheryl’s face with the caption: “Nov 1 1970 Cheryl & I went on our 1st date. We went to see a re-release of Stanley Kramer’s ‘It’s a Mad Mad Mad World’ and then got some pizza at now defunct Barnone’s in Toluca Lake. Quite a start, right?”
“Today we are celebrating with these kind of socks we ordered (Cheryl’s w/my mug got held up) and a trip to our local take-out pizza place,” he continued.
“We’ll be driving in the same ‘70 VW Bug I picked Cheryl up in 5 decades ago,” he said, adding, “It runs great. So do we,” he concluded.
Ron, 68, and Cheryl, 68, share four children – daughters Bryce Dallas, Paige, and Jocelyn, and son Reed.
