The Hollywood actress, who married Benji in 2015, has lavished praise on her husband after he recently claimed during an interview that she was a modern-day feminist and an inspiration.

In an Instagram post, the 43-year-old beauty gushed: "One of my favorite things about being married, is how much pride I take in my husband

"He makes me proud everyday. One day it might be how generous and giving, another how gentle and thoughtful. Or when he is fiercely protective of the people he loves and cares about.

"Everyday single day I am so incredibly proud of his integrity as a human being. (sic)"

The actress later congratulated her husband on his new album with his band Good Charlotte, pointing out that it's their first album in six years and was released under Benji's own record label.

She added: "Baby you amaze me... CONGRATS!! (sic)"

This comes shortly after Benji heaped praise on his actress wife.

He previously said: "I'm extremely proud of what she uses her platform.

"She's a modern day feminist - she wanted to change the conversation that's being had about women and ageing."

He added: "It's been one of the most inspirational things in my life watching a woman be so courageous ... she's got so much integrity. I'm a lucky guy that I get to experience that."
