“Boy Meets World” alums William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett Daniels celebrate 73 years of marriage

The "St. Elsewhere" stars wed in 1951 and share two children.

William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett Daniels just celebrated a major relationship milestone.

The Boy Meets World alums have officially been married for 73 years. At 97 and 95 years old respectively, Daniels and Bartlett Daniels hold the record for Hollywood’s longest-lasting marriage.

"It seems like we're breaking records,” Bartlett Daniels told PEOPLE in a new interview. “I mean, we both broke a record when we got the Emmys on the same night for the same show. That was a record breaker, nobody had ever done that. Now, it seems like in Hollywood there are no marriages that are 73 years old, so we seem to break records."

The couple, who first met as students at Northwestern University, wed in Moline, Illinois on June 30, 1951. They share two children, sons Michael and Robert, after losing their firstborn William Jr. shortly after his birth.

Reflecting on seven decades of marriage, Bartlett Daniels said, "You never stop learning. You never stop being surprised. I never know. Every once in a while, he'll do something, and I think, 'Where did that come from? Where did that come from?' Or, he the same with me. We never stop being surprised by what somebody does."

So what’s the secret to their long-lasting marriage? Daniels joked that it is "important" that his wife is "very easy to live with.”

He added, "She is a very competent woman. She's smart, and I leave a lot of things up to her."

Along with their individual success, the couple have shared the screen more than once over the years. Outside of her credits on Love of Life and Little House on the Prairie, Bartlett Daniels played Ellen Craig on the medical drama, St. Elsewhere. Daniels starred in the series as Bartlett Daniels' onscreen husband Dr. Mark Craig and in 1986, the couple both won Emmy Awards for their roles in the series, making them the first married couple to accomplish the feat since 1965.

Bartlett Daniels also appeared on several episodes of Boy Meets World as Lila Bolander, a college dean and love interest for Daniels' Mr. Feeny. The couple recently reunited with a few of their onscreen pupils from the beloved sitcom, Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle. "Just a little reunion with my favorite students,” Daniels captioned the June post.
