NewlywedsKate Bosworthand Justin Long are on to their next adventure!
The couple are in the Galapagos Islands celebrating Long’s 45th birthday — a location Long has been dreaming of visiting since he was young. Bosworth, 40, shared in an Instagram post on Friday what it means to see her husband finally experience the one-of-a-kind destination.
“Ever since we met, I have heard you say two words, many, many times: Galápagos Islands,” the actress wrote. “I know from your mother that, as a little boy, you used to study images in books from a land far, far away… and you would dream of visiting that place one day: one of tortoises and iguanas and sea lions and penguins.”
“Watching you experience your childhood dream these last few weeks has been the greatest honor Hansee 💛🐢🇪🇨,” she added.
Long commented on the post, which has over 18,000 likes, saying he is “the luckiest” to be in his dream place with his “tortoises, glass frogs in the rainforest, and my dreamgirl.”
“The Galapagos was a true childhood dream realized but just having you in my life is the realization of THE dream 💛,” theBarbarianactor wrote.
The photos in the post give a glimpse into the couple’s travels around the region, known for its unique wildlife and stunning nature. One image captures a sweet kiss against a backdrop of greenery, while another showcases the pair laughing with their arms around each other.
This trip comes just one day after PEOPLE reported that theHouse of Darknessstars tied the knot in a spur of the moment wedding ceremony soon after their engagement.
A source told PEOPLE, “After they got engaged, Kate couldn’t wait to marry Justin. She knew that she never wanted a big wedding. She just cared about being married.”
“They kept talking about eloping,” the source added. “They ended up having an impromptu and casual wedding a few weeks ago. It was perfect. She is thrilled to be married to Justin.”
The couple, who firstsparked relationship rumorsin March 2022,confirmed their engagementin an April 4 episode of Long’sLife Is Shortpodcast with Bosworth as a guest, where she said, “I thought it was the most romantic and honest and loving proposal.”
