Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have been a surprising yet beloved celebrity couple since they first got together in 2011. Both known for their roles in popular television shows, they have managed to keep their relationship low-key while still achieving major milestones together.
During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast in September 2024, Brody opened up about how they support each other in their acting careers. He praised Meester’s artistic abilities, describing her as a poet with a great depth and understanding of material. Despite her aloofness to the business side of things, Brody highlighted her ability to get to the heart of a script effortlessly.
In November 2023, Meester talked about the time and energy they dedicate to their relationship, emphasizing the importance of respect, attention, and focus in their marriage. Brody, on the other hand, shared in a March 2023 interview that marrying Meester was an easy decision for him, as he knew she was the right person very early on in their relationship.
Their relationship has also evolved with the arrival of their children. Brody mentioned in April 2020 how having a daughter changed his perspective and opened up new opportunities to share female-centric stories with his son. The couple welcomed their second child in September 2020, a son whom Brody described as a dream.
Meester and Brody have not only worked together on projects but have also supported each other’s careers. Brody guest-starred on Meester’s show Single Parents, showcasing their chemistry on screen. Meester has spoken highly of working with her husband, calling him her best friend and the best at everything.
Their love story began in 2011 when they co-starred in The Oranges, and since then, they have continued to grow as a couple, supporting each other through various milestones and challenges. From their secret wedding in February 2014 to their rare public appearances and joint interviews, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have shown that their love is grounded in mutual respect, admiration, and a deep connection.
