From heartfelt Oscars tributes to anniversary recreations and red carpet PDA, Robert and Susan Downey continue to prove that love and partnership can thrive in the spotlight—and behind the camera.

In an industry where relationships often flicker out, Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey shine as a rare beacon of enduring love and creative synergy.

At the 96th Academy Awards in March 2024, Robert clinched his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in Oppenheimer. In his acceptance speech, he humorously thanked his “veterinarian—I meant wife”, adding, “She found me, a snarling rescue pet, and loved me back to life” . Their red carpet appearance was equally touching, with the couple holding hands, sharing a kiss, and exchanging tender glances that spoke volumes about their connection.

Celebrating milestones with heartfelt gestures is a hallmark of their relationship. For their 18th wedding anniversary in August 2023, Robert shared a then-and-now photo recreation from their wedding day, captioned, “18 years, love still in bloom!!”. The previous year, he marked their 17th anniversary with a tribute calling Susan his “bedrock, touchstone and lucky stars to boot”. On Valentine’s Day 2023, he posted playful photo booth snapshots with a poetic message: “To her, who lovingly tolerates my many antics, I pledge my everlasting love”.
