Tyler Posey is more in love with his wife Phem than ever!

Speaking to PEOPLE at Epic Cons in Chicago last weekend, Posey, 32, confessed that the “deepness of the love” he has for the alt-rock musician, 29, has only grown since they tied the knot in October 2023.

“I didn’t expect that. When I first proposed, I didn't expect to feel different,” the Teen Wolf alum said. “Instead of fear like, ‘Oh, my God. I'm trapped,’ it was like, ‘Oh, hell yeah.’"

"It was this deep solidified trust, confidence, and then it just grew even more with getting married. That same feeling, and we didn't expect that," he added.

Stating that the pair are “in it for the long haul,” Posey said, “We're like, ‘We're going to get through anything,’ and the love just grows more and you become more of a partnership, or at least that’s the way it should be.”

According to Posey, their marriage overhauled his previous notion that all love songs and romantic comedies were “so fake.”

“For us, it's just been like, ‘Oh, wow, this is opening an entire new realm of love that I didn't really know.’ I was always hoping it was possible. The love movies, the love songs, that is absolutely real,” the actor gushed.

The Unravel singer revealed that the two would sometimes accompany each other on tour. If he was on the road, she would join him for a few stops to play their Travis Barker collaboration “Shut Up.”

When the “Sorry Mama” artist opened for Avril Lavigne’s European tour, he would support her in the audience.

“She plays huge, huge, huge rooms. And she opened for me last night and I'm like, ‘Honey, I'm sorry.’ She's like, ‘I love doing this. Are you kidding me?’ Because it's more intimate,” he said.
