In the crazy world of Hollywood, it’s rare to find a marriage that is actually able to stand the test of time. That’s what makes actor Rob Lowe’s nearly-thirty year marriage to his makeup artist wife Sheryl Berkhoff so special!

In a new interview, Lowe is opening up about his wife saved his life.

“Listen, she may have saved my life, really,” Lowe told Entertainment Tonight of his wife. “I mean, she met me when I was at the end of my ’80s run of wild boy craziness and she was worth changing my life for. And so I am really lucky that that happened to me. Maybe I had changed it on my own, maybe, but it’s a big maybe. And just when I met her, I knew that if I could not make it with her, I definitely could not make it work with anyone else.”

Lowe and Berkhoff will be celebrating their thirtieth wedding anniversary in July, and they are parents to two sons, 28-year-old Matthew and 26-year-old John.

“And I always wanted that life, I really wanted kids,” Lowe continued. “I wanted a normal life outside of Hollywood. I wanted to insert myself in Hollywood for what I needed to do and get out like a light and live as normal of a life as I can, and we were able to do that because I think we were very well matched.”

Lowe teased that there will definitely be a “purchase” for Berkhoff in celebration of this major anniversary.

“I think I am very close to pulling the trigger on something I think she is going to like a lot,” he said of the gift he’s planning for his wife. “And there is going to be a party, but, you know, just the fact that I am so blessed to have found the right person, that I found a soulmate and someone who I think is so hot and smart and funny.”

“Great mother, great businesswoman, I am just super, super blessed and I can’t believe 30 years, that sounds insane coming out of my mouth,” Lowe concluded. “Really, truly.”
