Kevin Richardson, a member of the iconic boy band Backstreet Boys, recently marked a major milestone - his 25th wedding anniversary with wife Kristin. To celebrate, he shared the story behind the band's song "Back to Your Heart," which holds a special meaning in their relationship.

In an Instagram Reel shared by the Backstreet Boys, Richardson recalled writing and co-producing the track during a breakup with Kristin. "I wrote 'Back to Your Heart' for Kristin, so that was very sentimental. Her and I were broken up, but it worked out good because I ended up marrying her," he shared.

The couple met prior to the formation of the Backstreet Boys, while both were performing as characters at Walt Disney World in Orlando in 1992. They dated on and off for years, with careers that made it difficult to stay together, but they eventually tied the knot in 2000.

Kristin commented on the post, writing to fans and her husband, "Thank you so much. 😊 25 years! It feels like we just blinked. You've given us so much adventure and good times BSB family! So Grateful. xoxo❀"

She also posted to mark the special occasion, sharing a photo of the couple out to dinner and a photo of Kevin with their two sons, Mason and Max.
