Brooklyn Decker is celebrating husband Andy Roddick’s most recent trip around the sun.
“It’s his birthday,” Decker, 39, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, August 30, in honor of her better half’s special day. “One of our friends says ‘You know whenever you’re with Andy, something amazing will happen and you’re going to leave with a story…’ And it’s true.”
Decker continued, “Andy’s very uncomfortable with gushy, sappy love. Everyone please go text him the mushiest thing you can think of. He’s on ESPN all day so let’s see how many times we can make him cringe on camera. 💃.”
Alongside the birthday message, Decker shared a series of rare family photos giving insight into the power couple’s private life.
In one image, Roddick, 44, posed in front of the Eiffel Tower with the pair’s two children while another clip showed him sleeping while snuggling a cat.
The couple have been together since 2007, nearly one year before Roddick popped the question. Decker and Roddick tied the knot in 2008 and have since welcomed son Hank and daughter Stevie in 2015 and 2017, respectively. In 2022, Decker got candid about how she and Roddick balance their marriage with parenthood.
“It does become hilariously transactional. You’re like, ‘I’ve got the kids, you go buy the tampons, go get the diapers,’” she told Us exclusively at the time. “It’s very [much] like making a game plan for a football game. You’re drawing the X’s and someone is going to tackle this job and the other one’s going to take care of this.”
Decker shared that “efficiency is key” when it comes to taking care of their two children.
“Hopefully, you can find a few laughs along the way,” Decker said, adding that the couple don’t have a “regular working date night” because their “lives are so erratic.”
She continued, “I do think it’s easy to get caught up in the management of life, home, children, all of it. However, we do set aside time. … We prioritize it, but I think we could all do a better job.”
From Decker’s perspective, she and Roddick are in a “good place” with their two children.
“You’re constantly, like, bent over for six months,” Decker told Us of having little ones. “They’re really exploratory, but they’re not sturdy enough to really do that independently. So you’re just basically playing bumper cars with your children. … I have two kids who can, like, get themselves dressed and ask me for what they need. It’d be hard [to have another].”
