Darren Criss and his wife Mia Criss are celebrating a milestone wedding anniversary!

The Glee star, 37, shared a rare personal post on Instagram on Friday marking five years of being married to Mia.

"Best g------ day of my life," Darren began the caption of a photo of the couple singing together at their reception, as he reflected on his 2019 wedding day.

The Justice League star went on to explain that he usually avoids posting about his private life, though he knows fans are curious.

"I’m also blithely aware of how much it would mean to my wife to declare how I feel about her to a wider world beyond our friends and family," he wrote.

To celebrate their partnership, Darren called marrying Mia "one of the best decisions I ever made" and their 2019 wedding "the greatest party I ever threw."

"And so on the anniversary of that decision, I’d like to state how deeply grateful I am for Mia and all the wonderful things she’s given my life," he wrote. "It just keeps getting better and better, as I find myself loving her more and more every day."

The actor concluded by describing his wedding as "fun, bat---- bananas crazy wacky."

Back in April 2020, Darren opened up about his relationship with Mia, telling PEOPLE, "We have been the ultimate plus-ones out here for each other for 10 years.

He also called his wedding "the most magical experience," adding, "Say what you will about the construct of marriage and tradition: weddings are amazing."

Mia and Daren met in 2006 through mutual friends and began dating in 2010. They own a piano bar in Hollywood together and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Bluesy Belle, in April 2022. In December 2023, the couple announced they are expecting their second child.
