Her husband, Adam also shared the same image to Instagram, with the caption, “And I can’t even begin to say how much I [heart] [Katie Lowes].”
Earlier this year, Lowes told Entertainment Tonight that she was excited to join her Scandal co-star in the “moms club,” saying that Kerry has been a “mentor to my life in every category.”
