Days of our Lives star Greg Rikaart is celebrating a big anniversary 

Leo Stark's romance with Ravi Hernandez might be in its infancy on Days of our Lives, but Leo's portrayer, Greg Rikaart, is celebrating two decades of love with his husband! Robert Sudduth, Rikaart's hubby, shared on social media that the two have been together for 20 years!

Greg Rikaart, Days of our Lives romance

"Twenty years with @gregrikaart," Sudduth wrote on Instagram. "Someone once asked me what our secret was, and I said: 'We almost killed each other during year seven, but then we didn’t.' Happy Anniversary, babe. 😍❤️."

In the photo slideshow in Sudduth's post, you can see happy moments of the couple from over the years, including a Halloween or costume party where Rikaart dressed up like Marty McFly from the film Back to the Future, and Sudduth was Doc Brown.

"Happy Anniversary!" responded Jessica Collins (ex-Avery, The Young and the Restless). "The crib pic..🥹❤️." Added Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea): "LOVE YOU TWO 😍Happy Anni!🥂."

Rebecca Budig (Taylor, The Bold and the Beautiful), who has a playful faux antagonistic relationship with Rikaart, her co-host on SOAPY, a talk show blog in which the two interview top soap opera stars, "I feel so sorry for you." (She's kidding, folks!)

Adam Huss (ex-Nikolas, General Hospital) kept his message short and sweet with a red heart emoji. Another poster, @hollioverton, author of A Mother's Guide to the Apocalypse, wrote: "Happy anniversary! We're hitting the 20-year mark, and if triplets can't kill us, nothing can!"

All about Rikaart and Sudduth

Rikaart first made the soap opera scene over 20 years ago when he debuted as Kevin Fisher, a bookkeeper at a strip joint, who preyed upon Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), who was searching for love on the Internet.

The show's writers decided to extend Rikaart's stay by tying Kevin to Michael (Christian LeBlanc) as his long-lost half-brother. Kevin's abusive past was explored. He found redemption and the love of a few good women, including Chloe Elizabeth Hendrickson. In 2005, Rikaart won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Rikaart made his debut as Leo Stark on Days of our Lives in 2018.

Sudduth serves as co-executive producer of Acapulco, the series on which Collins currently stars. He's also written or produced Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and The Real O'Neals. The two are fathers to a son, Montgomery, who turned 9 in June.
