Ashley Graham closed out 2024 with a sweet tribute to husband Justin Ervin.
On Dec. 31 — Ervin’s 44th birthday — the model shared a video and two photos to her Instagram Stories, including one picture of her kissing the producer and filmmaker on the cheek. “My king,” she wrote in a caption on the image.
She also shared a short clip of Ervin doing a cartwheel on a beach and a picture of him standing next to balloons.
Graham and Ervin, who are parents to Isaac, 4, and 2-year-old twins Roman and Malachi, aren’t shy about sharing their affection on social media.

“I can’t express how to describe what I witness day-to-day as @ashleygraham takes every moment of every second to care for our new little boys. ‘Impressive’ is too small. ‘Amazing’ is closer. ‘Mother’ is perfect. I love you,” Ervin wrote on Instagram in 2022.

The two met while volunteering at a church event in New York in 2009, and got engaged the following summer. “He’s so amazing,” Graham told PEOPLE at the time. “We come from different backgrounds, but we have the same viewpoints on religion and family.”
And sex, too. Graham told Elle in 2019 that the secret to their happy marriage is getting busy.

“Just have sex. Have sex all the time. Even if you don’t feel like it, just have sex. I have found that if we haven’t had sex, we get snippy, and then if we are having sex, we’re all over each other. For us it’s like, ‘Oh, let’s have sex.’ And then we’re just right back in a great mood,” she said.
She said at the time that they waited until marriage to become sexually intimate.
“Something that it did for us was build up our friendship, and it also built up our trust and communication,” Graham told the outlet. “Of course we were sexually attracted to each other; we would make out heavily. All those things were there. I wasn’t worried about, ‘What’s sex gonna be like with him?’ It was more, ‘Do I trust him? Is he someone I want to be with for the rest of my life?’”
