Kevin Hartand wifeEnikohave come a long way since news of his sex scandal broke last year.
Eniko celebrated Hart’s 39th birthday on Friday, when sheposted a loving noteto her husband on Instagram, where the couple often share family photos and showcase their love.
“Happy birthday babe. There are so many words to describe you..wonderful, amazing, unique, incomparable, handsome, strong, incredibly FUNNY..u keep a smile on everyone’s face…I could go on forever…but putting a smile on your face is my number one goal today. You mean the world to me. Happy Birthday to my love! Xoxo,” she captioned a photo of the pair with their son, Kenzo, and her step-children: Hendrix, 10, and Heaven, 13.
Kevin’s happy family life comes just months after the actor was involved in a sex extortion scandal after he cheated on his then 8-months-pregnant wife.

“And I just, you know, it’s a s—-y moment. It’s a s—-y moment when you know you’re wrong and there’s no excuses for your wrong behavior,” Kevin said. “But I’m also not going to allow a person to have financial gain off of my mistakes […] I’d rather fess up to my mistakes,” he added.
Kevin, who shares children Heaven and Hendrix with ex-wifeTorrei Hart, opened up about his affair to his wife and contacted police following the anonymous endeavor to blackmail the actor in exchange for money.
Nevertheless, since the media-garnering incident, theJumanji: Welcome to the Junglestar and his wife have been going strong. A large part of Kevin’s heartfelt apology was devoted to “doing better” for his kids and Eniko, who gave birth to their now 7-month-old son, Kenzo Kash, in November. And almost a full year later, it appears Kevin has stayed true to his word.
Three months into Kevin’s public indiscretion,the actor spoke candidly about his mistakeon the Power 105.1 FM showThe Breakfast Clubin December. “I’m guilty, regardless of how it happened and what was involved, the s– that I can’t talk about, I’m guilty. I’m wrong,” he said. “It’s beyond irresponsible. There’s no way around it. That’s Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment. That’s not the finest hour of my life. With that being said, you make your bed you lay in it,” he continued.
A month later, Kevinposted an earnest tributeto Eniko on his Instagram for Mother’s Day along with a photo of the two with their son, captioned, “Happy Mothers Day to my amazing Beautiful wife @enikohart ….We are celebrating you & your greatness all day honey. I love u to the moon & back,” he wrote, adding the hashtags #Harts, #ForeverMyRib and #HappyMothersDay.”
Eniko has certainly stuck it out through the worst. Unwavering in the face of her wedding vows, Eniko returned to Atlanta with the actor soon after the announcement, accompanying him on the set of his newNight Schoolfilm (coming out Sept. 28).
With regards to Sabbag, her attorney Lisa Bloom confirmed to PEOPLE in October that while the two had been on cooperative terms throughout the investigation, they had had no direct contact since the news of extortion broke. “Right after the weekend in Las Vegas I think they had some contact, but since the extortionist came out with these images, it’s all been through attorneys,” Bloom said.
At one point,Kevin even spoke out in Eniko’s defensewhen his ex-wife Torrei implied that she had been the cause of their divorce in 2010, following Eniko’s controversial Instagram wedding post in 2016 where she stated the pair had been together for eight years, a stark overlap to Kevin’s prior relationship.

Though the actor maintains he’s been able to handle the media attention encircling his personal life, one of the most upsetting drawbacks has been the portrayal of his wife as having ended his previous marriage.
Kevin’s movieNight Schoolwill premiere Sept. 28. He’s also currently filming the sequels forTheSecret Life of PetsandJumanji, both set to be released in 2019.
