Star Jones is celebrating her forever love!
The former The View cohost, 63, penned a sweet tribute to her husband Ricardo Lugo on Instagram to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary on Wednesday, March 25.
Sharing a picture of the two cuddled up with matching smiles and glasses of champagne in their hands, she began her caption with the bible verse, “Love never fails.”
“Seven years ago, I stood before God, family, and friends and vowed to love Ricardo for a lifetime,” Jones wrote. “Today, I can say with my whole heart that love—true love—only deepens with time.”
She added, “Life brings its challenges, but when you are blessed to find your person, you walk through them together, stronger, hand in hand.”
Praising her husband, Jones wrote, “Ricardo, you are my joy, my peace, my safe place. Every day with you is a reminder of God’s grace and the beauty of love that never fails. Seven years later, and somehow, we are more in love—if that’s even possible.”
The TV personality concluded the caption with a simple message: “Happy Anniversary, my love! Here’s to forever.

The tribute was shared as a joint post between Jones, Lugo and her court show Divorce Court, which she has hosted since 2022.
Jones and Lugo, both attorneys, made their relationship public in 2016 and were engaged the following year. They tied the knot in 2018 on a Royal Caribbean cruise in the Bahamas in front of 150 guests.
