What Josh Brolin wrote
In his caption, Brolin reflected on a decade of shared life with characteristic warmth and wit. He wrote: 'In ten years I've never seen her without a costume, heard her without an accent, nor ever lived far outside the radius of her circus. Growing up all I wanted was to find a playmate, someone to share the sandpit of this life with sharing whatever the imagination can conjure.'
He added: 'Ten years and we're still at it, like a couple of young, stupid puppies out on a beach walk chasing birds. My romping partner — till death do us part....#olé P.S. I'm watching La Strada if you want to join me?'
Josh and Kathryn: Their Story
Brolin and Kathryn Boyd, a former model and one-time assistant to the actor, began dating in 2013 — the same year his divorce from actress Diane Lane was finalised. The couple wed in 2016 and announced in 2018 that they were expecting their first child. They now share two daughters together.
Notably, the anniversary post arrives as Brolin remains one of Hollywood's most commercially active performers, with recent credits spanning the Dune franchise and Brothers.

He was subsequently engaged for six months to actress Minnie Driver, before marrying actress Diane Lane on 15 August 2004; that marriage ended in 2013. His relationship and marriage to Kathryn Boyd marks what appears to be the most enduring chapter of his personal life.
