"So crazy... 2 kids that met on an Island!" Rob recently captioned a sweet throwback photo with Amber on a beach.
"Happy Anniversary! #20Years."
Rob and Amber's official 20th wedding anniversary was on Wednesday, April 16.
Survivor's official Instagram page commented on the post, "The most beautiful love story to grace our tvs."
Survivor's Instagram also posted a video of Rob and Amber sharing a kiss during their memorable Survivor: All-Stars season together.
Written over the footage was the following: "They don't know it yet, but she will end up winning Survivor All-Stars and they will end up being happily married for the next 20 years."
After appearing on their own original Survivor seasons, Rob and Amber met when they each returned to compete on Survivor: All-Stars in 2003. They ended up in the Final 2 together but Amber walked away with the $1 million via a 4-3 jury vote.
Rob proposed marriage to Amber during the May 2004 live season finale just after Amber had won the game, and they went on to wed in April 2005.
Rob and Amber's wedding aired as a special on CBS entitled Rob and Amber Get Married.
Also in 2005, Rob and Amber competed as an "Engaged Couple" on the seventh season of The Amazing Race and ultimately finished in second place.

Rob and Amber later returned to The Amazing Race as "Newlyweds" for its 2007 All-Stars installment.
While the pair set a record at the time for finishing the first three legs in first place, they were eliminated during the fourth leg of the Race.
Between their two appearances on The Amazing Race, the couple filmed a short-lived show for the Fox Reality Channel entitled Rob and Amber: Against the Odds. It aired in 2007 and ran for 10 episodes.
Rob and Amber then celebrated a more personal milestone when they welcomed their first child, Lucia, in July 2009.
Rob proceeded to give Survivor another shot by competing on the show's 20th season in 2010 dubbed Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. He competed on the villains' tribe and was the eighth castaway voted out of the game.
Amber gave birth to the couple's second child, Carina, in December 2010, and then Rob was crowned the champion of Survivor: Redemption Island in 2011.
Rob and Amber went on to welcome two more baby girls -- Isabetta in May 2012 and Adelina in June 2014.

Rob subsequently competed on the show's 40th season dubbed Survivor: Winners at War, but he finished in seventeenth place.

Rob is the first contestant to appear on Survivor six times, and play five times. It appears unlikely, however, that he'll compete on Survivor's milestone 50th season featuring veteran players.
