Paul Anthony Kelly marked his third wedding anniversary with Syd Widziszewski-Kelly on Friday morning, May 1, posting a photo from their May 2023 wedding and writing that she made him feel complete. The 37-year-old actor, who recently played JFK Jr. on Hulu’s Love Story, praised his wife for filling his life with love, support and a happiness he said he had never known before.
Kelly also wrote that he was “beyond grateful” to grow a family with her and looked forward to doing it all over again in their next lives, ending the message with “I love you eternally. X.” The post landed just months after he confirmed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that he and Widziszewski-Kelly welcomed their first child together in February, turning the anniversary into more than a date on the calendar. It was a public nod to a marriage that has now moved into parenthood, with the couple celebrating three years since their wedding while their family is still in its earliest chapter.
That balance has become part of Kelly’s recent public comments. During the Love Story press tour earlier in the year and again at a recent FYC event, he said he was juggling career demands with fatherhood and credited his wife’s support through what he called a “crazy whirlwind” period. “The moment I’m home, I’m just present and in dad mode and changing diapers and cleaning up puke and all the good stuff that comes along with it,” he said, adding that it was “the most magical experience” and that he “couldn’t be happier.”
The contrast is clear: Kelly’s life has shifted from a screen role that put him in the orbit of another famous young father to the far less polished reality of new parenthood at home. His anniversary post answered the question his recent interviews raised — not whether he is busy, but how he is handling it. For Kelly, the answer is that the work is real, the sleep is probably short, and the marriage that began in May 2023 now has a child at its center.
