Adam Brody and Leighton Meester made headlines at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, showcasing not just their enduring love but also their individual success. The couple arrived at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where Brody was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor for his role as Noah, a charming rabbi, in the Netflix rom-com series Nobody Wants This.
Brody looked dapper in a fitted dark green double-breasted tuxedo, perfectly complemented by his wife, Leighton Meester, who radiated elegance in her lemon-lime sequined gown from Versace. The couple's choice of complementary green hues sparked much discussion on the red carpet. Meester noted, "We both chose what we wanted, and what we wanted was going to go together," indicating the effortless synergy they maintain both on and off the screen.
Meester's gown showcased her stunning appearance, featuring a plunging neckline and embellished with diamond jewelry. Brody completed his look with accessories including a classic black bow tie and a white poplin shirt, enhanced by the fresh white rose pinned to his lapel. Adam candidly remarked, "It’s more than a happy accident but it wasn’t premeditated either," highlighting their spontaneous yet stylish fashion choices.
This Golden Globes ceremony was especially significant for Brody, marking his first nomination at any awards show. His performance as the appealing young rabbi alongside Kristen Bell, who plays his love interest, has garnered acclaim, contributing to the series's popularity and subsequent renewal for another season.
"We’re each other’s biggest fans," Brody expressed, reiteratively affirming the strong bond they share. This sentiment certainly rings true as they navigated the awards night together, cheering one another on amid the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
Adam and Leighton’s relationship dates back over ten years. They first met at Canter's Deli, thanks to mutual friends. Reflecting on their early connection, Brody recalled, "Josh Schwartz produced both shows and literally the first time we met, the whole cast was eating there." Although both were involved with other partners at the time, strong chemistry simmered beneath the surface.
The couple began dating officially in early 2013 and got engaged the following year. Their intimate wedding took place in 2014, solidifying their partnership just as both were embarking on individual career advancements. Together, they have two children, Arlo Day, who was born in 2015, and a son born in 2020, whose name they have chosen to keep private.
During interviews, Meester has alluded to the importance of family and shared experiences. "They really live their lives like normal couples," said a source, underscoring their down-to-earth family lifestyle and mutual support.
Each time one of them embarks on new projects, the other is not far behind. Brody recently credited Meester for his influence on his performance, stating, "A big part of how I portray relationships on-screen is because of her and my real-life experiences with her. She has a lot to do with it." This candid acknowledgment serves to highlight not just their personal bond but the collaborative nature of their artistic choices.
Leighton is now preparing for her own upcoming role as she joins the cast of the series The Buccaneers. The anticipation for her return to the screen is palpable, especially as she embarks on this next chapter amid raising their children alongside Brody’s burgeoning career.
Although no specific upcoming projects from the pair have been announced collaboratively, the duo expressed interest during their red carpet interview. "We don’t have a dream project, we always like to work together when it’s available," Brody affirmed, with Meester adding, "It’s true, almost everything we do they’re like ‘Would your husband or wife want to be in this as well?’" This notion hints at exciting possibilities for their future endeavors together.
Attending the Golden Globes, they were not merely there as nominees and guests—they were the epitome of grace shared between spouses. Their relationship continues to flourish after years of marriage as they navigate life and career hand-in-hand.
Brody’s rise on the awards circuit is certainly being closely watched, with enthusiasts harking back to his days on The O.C.. It’s clear not only from their words but from their affectionate gestures on the red carpet—Adam’s gentle compliment of Leighton and her radiant smile—that they remain as madly in love as ever.
Looking forward, Adam summed up his philosophy on marriage during interviews, saying, "Pick someone good. Be lucky and be in love with someone who’s great and just kind of listen to them." His comments reflect not only the joy they find within their relationship but also the steady growth they’ve experienced as partners.
With continued successes and the promise of new projects, we can fully expect to see more from this Hollywood couple who translates their love story from the screen to their real life. One thing is certain: Adam Brody and Leighton Meester will forever be known as television couple royalty, both on- and off-screen.
