Ty Pennington is celebrating wife Kellee Merrell on her 34th birthday!
The home renovation expert, 57, paid tribute to Merrell on Instagram with a collection of black-and-white photos of the pair.
In the first picture, Pennington and his wife were caught laughing as they squeezed themselves into one pair of pants. He also included several close-up shots of his wife as well as a few candid photos.
“It’s her birthday ???? My favorite person. Thank u for being such a beautiful person, inside and out and for making me the happiest human, giving me a family (????) and a place to belong,” Pennington wrote in the caption.
“Life is so much better than I ever could have imagined with you. Also…. thanks for laughing at all my stupid jokes,” he added.

Pennington tied the knot with the Canadian social media manager in a backyard ceremony in November last year after knowing each other for over 10 years. The intimate event was attended by just eight guests.
Merrell also marked her birthday with a risqué beach photo on her own Instagram. She shared a picture of herself posing nude on the sand.
“34. ✌????,” she captioned the post, tagging her husband as the photographer. Pennington commented on the picture, writing, “My favorite pic ❤️.”
The Home Town Kickstart Presented by PEOPLE star — who’s been renovating the couple’s historic dream home in Savannah, Georgia, alongside his wife — opened up about his newlywed life in May, telling PEOPLE, “It’s amazing. I’m so happy. It was a long time coming, I would say, but I’m glad it finally happened.”
“I’ve been a carny, let’s face it,” he joked of his long bachelorhood.
“I started working on Trading Spaces in 2000, and I really never stopped. When you’re never home for more than seven or 10 days at a time, it’s really hard to stay in any kind of a positive relationship. I’m sort of happy for me that I’ve been able to really find it.”
