Adam Brody went from the nerdy boy next door on the silver screen to a Hollywood hunk. Although he’s landed major roles in shows like The O.C. and Nobody Wants This, he stays under the radar and keeps the details about his personal life to a minimum.
The actor married another iconic entertainer one decade ago and fans want to know more details about his love life.
Who Is Adam Brody Married To?
The California native married Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester in 2014 – and they have enjoyed their marriage out of the public eye.
Adam and Leighton didn’t announce their marriage and kept their ceremony extremely private. Us Weekly broke the news on February 18, 2014, and Adam confirmed the nuptials when he was approached by a TooFab reporter days later.
“Hey man, is it true you really got married?” the paparazzi asked Adam, who simply replied, “Yeah.”
How Did Adam Brody and Wife Leighton Meester Meet?
Adam’s role as Seth Cohen in The O.C. and Leighton’s role as Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf kickstarted their romance years before they actually started dating. In 2021, Adam revealed that Josh Schwartz, who produced both shows, briefly introduced the pair while running in similar circles.
Who Is Adam Brody Married To? His Romance With Leighton Meester
“But I had no idea whether she was a good person or not,” he admitted to Anna Farris on the “Unqualified” podcast. “And, in fact, kind of assumed she probably wasn’t for like the first handful of years that I didn’t know her, just because, I don’t know, Gossip Girl. Not that I tagged all actresses with that or anything — I didn’t. And I like to date actors. I never believe that stigma.”
Adam and Leighton reconnected in 2011 when they costarred in the film Oranges, but he was dating ex-girlfriend Lorene Scafaria at the time. After he became single, Adam started dating Leighton in 2013.
Do Adam Brody and Wife Leighton Meester Have Kids?
The couple didn’t waste time expanding their family after tying the knot, and welcomed daughter Arlo Day in August 2015. Adam and Leighton later welcomed a son and have yet to publicly reveal his name.
In October 2024, Adam shared a rare glimpse inside parenthood when he admitted that his daughter persuaded him to watch The Ring, a 2002 horror flick that he has a small role in.
“My daughter, who’s 9 — and this was her lead, this was not me. I would never push this on her,” Brody said during an appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show. “I have a small part in The Ring, the horror movie from, you know, the 2000s,” Brody shared, continuing that Arlo “wanted to dabble” in the scary movie and “took it well!”
“Now she tells everyone, ‘I don’t understand why people are scared. I’ve seen The Ring,’” Adam said. “She throws it around.”
One month prior, Adam revealed that he and the Country Strong star are “honest” with their kids and have “truthful conversations, for better or worse.”
“There is a helicopter, you know, to keep them safe,” he said on Today with Hoda and Jenna. “I’m not overly strict but I see the sharp edges, literally. And their heads aren’t gonna … I want to keep those heads maintained.”
