Woody Harrelson was seen on a rare outing with his wife Laura Louie.
The 65-year-old acting veteran and his 61-year-old wife of 17 years left their hotel in New York City together on Sunday as the actor quietly slipped the doorman a $100 bill.
The two have been together for 39 years and wed decades later in 2008 as they share daughters Deni, 32, Zoe, 30, and Makani, 20.
The Zombieland star keeps his life relatively private as she is reportedly more ‘reclusive’ than her spouse.
The last time he was spotted on the red carpet with her was in 2023 as they were joined by their kids at the premiere of his film Champions.
However, Louie did attend the Hollywood Walk Of Fame where director James L Brooks received a star back in December.

The lovebirds met in 1987 while on the set of his sitcom Cheers. The day after they met, Woody reportedly hired her to be his personal assistant.
She worked as his personal assistant for three years before they started a romantic relationship.
Previously, he was married to writer and author Nancy Simon from 1985 to 1986.
Nearly two decades later, Harrelson and Louie tied the knot in 2008 at a small, private ceremony in Maui, Hawaii.
The couple welcomed their first daughter Deni in March 1994 and their second child Zoe in September 1996.
Around a decade later, they welcomed their third and youngest daughter Makani in June 2006.
Meanwhile, one of Harrelson’s other longtime relationships has been with fellow actor Matthew McConaughey as the dynamic duo first met in 1997 while filming the comedy EDtv.
Their most famous collaboration came in 2014, when they starred on the first season of HBO’s True Detective as Rustin Cohle and Martin Hart.
The two have recently reunited once again for the Apple TV series Brothers, a comedy that plays on the wild theory that the two Hollywood stars might actually be half-brothers.
The speculation initially kicked off after McConaughey revealed his mother, Kay McConaughey a.k.a Ma Mac, once claimed she ‘knew’ Harrelson’s father – convicted contract killer Charles Voyde Harrelson – around the time that McConaughey was conceived.

The two have now turned the rumor into an eight-episode series.
McConaughey and Harrelson recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about their idea for the show, with the Oscar winner sharing, ‘We’d been chatting for years, and it was becoming quite an entertaining narrative amongst he and I and our families every time we got together since my mom said that line that night in Greece [about Harrelson’s dad].’
‘He’s the engine trying to get it done because he’s the one who believes it’s true, and who wants it to be true! For us to be brothers,’ McConaughey added.
‘It is true!’ Harrelson quipped, adding, ‘because Ma Mac did say, “I knew… your father.”‘
McConaughey joked that for Harrelson Ma Mac’s statement ‘means more than a DNA test. And if a DNA test comes out and says we’re not brothers, he’s gonna say, “That’s why you can’t trust science.”‘
McConaughey was born in Uvalde, Texas, while Harrelson was born in Midland, Texas, divided by roughly 279 miles.
The best friends later pieced together that Harrelson’s father, who was involved in dozens of murders in the 1960s and 1970s, had been on furlough around the time McConaughey’s parents were getting their second divorce.

Harrelson then said that McConaughey refuses to take a DNA test. McConaughey explained that if it turned out Harrelson’s father was also his father then he’d need to ‘unpack 56 years of who I thought my dad was.’
Harrelson also said that McConaughey ‘is more my brother than my brothers in reality, for years and years.’
Harrelson’s father received a life sentence for the 1979 murder of a judge. During childhood, Harrelson had little contact with his father, who abandoned the family when he was seven.
As an adult, he tried to rebuild a relationship with Charles, visiting him in prison until he died in 2007.
