In August, Westwick and Jackson spoke to PEOPLE after tying the knot on the Amalfi Coast, saying they were looking forward to married life and experiencing even more adventures together.

"For me, [marrying Westwick] means having a life partner to adventure with, to share love and support, to create a beautiful family and to have each other's backs throughout all of life's moments," Jackson said.

"It's about building a future together and creating endless memories, knowing that we are a team through it all."

"This all represents a new level of energy for a new adventure — the best one you can possibly have," Westwick said, adding of his new wife: "I spent my life wondering who she would be, and then I found her."

The pair also shared that they hoped to grow "their little family" sometime in the future, giving Jackson's 4-year-old son Andreas a younger sibling.

"I adore how Ed is with my son Andreas, and I can't wait to see him as a father one day too," Jackson said at the time.
