Angie Harmon and her new beau have a long history.
In a heartfelt Instagram post dedicated to the actress, 53, on Valentine’s Day, her boyfriend Tony Floyd reflected on how they met over three decades ago and the journey that brought them back together.
“We met in Italy at eighteen — two kids scrambling for work, chasing modeling dreams, trying to build a life without starving along the way,” he began. “There was a spark between us even then… but the timing wasn’t right. In our twenties, we found ourselves in LA, both chasing acting. You were always better than me. But we were together. And we were in love. You found your passion on the screen. I found mine shaping surfboards in Costa Mesa. Still, the timing wasn’t ours.”

“And then, after twenty-seven years, our paths crossed again — by chance, or maybe by fate,” he continued. “Now the timing is right. Now is our time, my love. My strength. My everything. My Angie. I love you beyond anything words can hold. You are still the same kind, loving, breathtaking, passionate fighter I met thirty-five years ago on that subway platform in Italy. Only now, we know who we are. And we know what we have.”
“Let’s roll, my Valentine. @angieharmon,” concluded the post, which featured a series of photos from their initial romance and now.
The comments on the post are filled with support for the couple from fans and their famous friends alike.
“Overjoyed for you, @angieharmon. For you both! Timing is everything ✨” wrote actress Sophia Bush.

The Rizzoli & Isles actress was previously married to former NFL player Jason Sehorn, whom she famously got engaged to on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1998 after Sehorn surprised Harmon by walking out onto the set and getting down on one knee.
The former couple tied the knot in 2001 but split in 2014 after 13 years of marriage and three daughters together: Finley, born in October 2003, Avery, born in June 2005, and Emery, born in December 2008.
In the years leading up to their divorce, Harmon opened up about the difficulties of balancing the distance in her relationship with Sehorn, as she was working in Los Angeles while her family was based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“You have to be really considerate of each other, really kind to each other,” she said at the time. “It’s a lot of work.”
