Jeffrey Dean Morgan made more than one lifelong commitment at his wedding to Hilarie Burton.
The “Walking Dead” star, 53, revealed that he and his former “Supernatural” co-stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles all got matching tattoos at the reception.
“Me and @hilarieburton weren’t the only ones joined for life…. @jaredpadalecki@jensenackles and myself will forever have a bond that is both special, and permanent,” Morgan captioned three images in an Instagram post on Thursday, which shows him, Padalecki and Ackles all getting some ink on their right wrists. “Love you both dearly. #jmb #spnfamily.”
Morgan played father to Sam and Dean Winchester (Padalecki and Ackles) on the CW’s longest-running show until he was killed off. He recently reprised his role in the show’s 300th episode to see how his children continued his legacy. The 15th and final season of “Supernatural” premiered on Thursday night.
It’s unclear exactly what design the trio chose to celebrate their fictional family bond; however, fans speculated about a Jean-Michel Basquiat crown or another design with a hidden “W” for Winchester. They may have also inked the show’s logo: a pentagram inside of a sun.
In the comments of his post, Morgan also said that he hired tattoo artist Mike Lucena to dole out free tattoos to all guests who were interested in participating.
Morgan and Burton tied the knot in a surprise ceremony on October 5; the couple has been together for more than 10 years, and most assumed they had married in 2015. One commenter quipped, “Hilarie gained two new sons.”
