Everyone who loved teen dramas in the early 2000s were ecstatic when Adam Brody — aka Seth Cohen — and Leighton Meester — aka Blair Waldorf — started dating.
Even more so when they got married!
Read on to learn how Adam Brody and Leighton Meester met as well as to see their sweetest moments.
Who is Adam Brody’s wife?
Adam Brody, best known for his roles in The OC, Gilmore Girls and, most recently, Nobody Wants This, is married to Leighton Meester. Leighton is best known for playing Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl.

How long have Adam and Leighton been together?
Adam and Leighton first met in 2007. Josh Scwartz produced both The OC and Gossip Girl, and one night, Josh was at a Gossip Girl dinner and Adam just happened to be in the same restaurant.
Josh ended up introducing Adam to everyone, including Leighton. However, nothing really happened between the two that night.
It wasn’t until they were both cast in the 2011 film The Oranges that the two became friends — and just friends, as Adam was dating someone else at that time.
“We didn’t get together [until] about a year after that movie when I was single,” Adam recalled to Anna Faris on her Unqualified podcast in 2021.

The news of Adam and Leighton dating didn’t become public knowledge until early 2013 after they were spotted together multiple times. They then officially debuted their relationship in June 2013 at the premiere of Adam’s film Some Girl(s).
On February 15, 2014, Adam and Leighton tied the knot in a very private ceremony.
Then in 2015, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Arlo Day Brody.
And in 2020, the couple welcomed their second child, a son whose name Adam and Leighton haven’t publicly shared.
