On Tuesday, the actor, 82, appeared onLive with Kelly and Markand told the hosts that he’s planning to treat his wife Wendy to a getaway to mark the milestone.
“I’m kind of the travel agent of the family. I like preparing things, and so I have a little surprise for her, where I’m taking her,” Bridges said. “But she’s my rock. 40 years!”
Bridges and Wendy tied the knot on April 10, 1984. The couple share three children together: Sons Dylan and Ezekiel, 30, and daughter Emily. Bridges, who is the brother of actorJeff Bridges, is also dad to sons Casey and Jordan, 50, from his first marriage to Julie Landfield.

“My oldest Casey is a documentary filmmaker. Coaches soccer on the side. My son Jordan is an actor, he was Frankie Rizolli inRozzoli & Isles. And then my son Dylan is on the other side, he’s the vice president of social media at Universal. So he’s got a couple of big movies right now he’s working on,” said Bridges.
He continued of his daughter Emily, “She and I wrote a play together about 10 years ago that was recently made into a movie,Acting: The First Six Lessons. And she directed me in that as well. And then my son Zeke is an actor, and he’s in a film that’s coming out pretty quick here.”
Consuelos, 52, and his co-host and wifeKelly Ripathen played a clip of Ezekiel appearing onLivewhen he was just 6 years old, before airing a scene from Bridges' new movie,The Neon Highway, which also stars his youngest son.

Bridges plays a fading country music legend called Claude Allen in the drama, which opens in theaters on March 15, while Ezekiel is an electrician’s assistant.
“Good old 6-year-old Zeke. Is that him?” asked Ripa, 53.
“Yeah, he’s 30 now,” responded Bridges. “And one of the fun things about the scene that we did is, being a good dad is probably one of the most challenging things I’ve ever tried to do in my life — [Mark] will tell you the same thing. I’ve failed many times and my kids, five of them, they all see my feet of clay. So in this movie, my son was forced to gawk at me with great respect. And I kind of dug that.”
