Justin Long and his wife Kate Bosworth were the epitome of relationship goals as they enjoyed a sweet stroll around New York City on Friday.

The couple, who recently attended the Smile Train Gala together, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they laughed their way through the West Village neighborhood.

The Blue Crush actress, 41, wrapped an arm around Justin’s shoulder as he gently clasped her hand.

They proudly showed off their wedding rings, including the dazzling diamond engagement ring Justin gave her last year.

Kate and Justin, 46, absolutely beamed during their loved-up stroll.

They even wore matching outfits: both wore matching white T-shirts and colorful fish print hats.

Justin managed to hold onto his loved one while also juggling two drinks: a water bottle and a thermos with the humorous caption “Tears Of My Pickleball Opponents.”

As for Kate, she dressed with a copper scrunchie and a sloppy leather bag thrown over her shoulder.

The actress wore baggy jeans that cinched in her waist, white sneakers and an array of gold jewelry.

Her husband kept it casual with black trousers, sturdy boots and sunglasses.

The outing comes just days after Kate marked Justin’s 46th birthday with a sweet Instagram tribute post.

The post included photos of the couple together, set to the Ben Platt song Before I Met You.

‘At 45 you kissed a stingray on the nose and caught a hawk on your arm. Hawks are your messenger of love and we once counted eighty on a single highway across the country,” she began in the lengthy caption.

‘You felt the nostalgic sensation of a whirlpool and tasted the new pleasure of an oyster. You understood the importance of marriage in Mexico City when you experienced the danger of an undercooked egg. Even shivering with fever and unable to leave your bed, you radiated kindness to those who cared for you, and I fell even deeper in love with your heart.

The couple couldn't have looked happier

The couple couldn’t have looked happier

“You watched pods of dolphins play in the waves at the edge of the earth and stared in awe at the skeletal underbelly of a California condor. We danced to The Beach Boys on the first evening of summer and I knew it was Forever. You told me that your definition of happiness is coming home to Chinese food, and I begged the universe to at least give me another million. You ventured to the North Woods and breathed in the evolution of things. You have experienced a playful spirit. Twice! Once in a pink house and once in an old inn.

“You found comfort in these greetings, in the whispers of the afterlife, and we laughed in wonder. You led me to the edge + we jumped, you promised me that marriage would be fun and I thought how lucky I am to experience life with a comical man 🙂 You have officially become a cat dad! And a pickleball player! And you are THE friendly sky’s favorite guest…

‘We look everywhere for signals and believe in them. In yellow flowers and sea lions, in strawberries and winged things. You carried me through the darkest moments and when I couldn’t find the light, you found it for me. You ARE the light. “I loved you long before I knew you. You were always in the sunlight… in the corners of my young mind. Little whispers in a daydream, a little voice that always saved me… you hid in plain sight .”

‘I loved you long before I knew you. And now that I know you, I wish there was another better word for love, because that word seems to pale in the way I feel about you today. Happy birthday to my favorite person. You are so good. So incredibly decent. So kind and deep and curious and wild. I’ll always wait while you drive to me.’

American magazine reported that Kate and Justin were first linked while working on an untitled film in 2021.

The couple tied the knot in May last year after two years of dating under the radar.

A source said PEOPLE, ‘After they got engaged, Kate couldn’t wait to marry Justin. She knew she never wanted a big wedding. She only thought it was important to get married.’
