Teen drama stars Adam Brody and Leighton Meester tied the knot in 2014 and have two children together.
Their first child, daughter Arlo, was born in 2015. They welcomed a son in 2020 but haven't disclosed the child's name yet.
In August 2016, Brody took to Reddit to answer fan questions. When someone asked what his favorite thing about Leighton was he replied, "Too many to count. She's the BEST."
He elaborated on their love story during an appearance on "Gossip Girl" star Penn Badgley's podcast, "Podcrushed," in 2023.
Brody said he was "smitten instantly" when he first saw Meester at a deli in LA years ago, but nothing happened.
"I didn't get to know her for many years after, even though we even worked together briefly," he said, referring to the movie "The Oranges."
Brody said that Meester was "elusive" and "aloof," to the point where he couldn't gauge her interest.
"I couldn't get a total read because even though she professes to have been interested in me and all those things, not only did she not pursue that, I mean, she was perfectly willing to let that never happen," he said.
"Parks and Recreation" star Nick Offerman and "Will & Grace" favorite Megan Mullally are a match made in comedy heaven — and have been since 2003.
These two are nearly inseparable.
"We like each other," Mullally said in a NY Daily News interview. "We also have a two-week rule, where we don't go more than two weeks without seeing each other. We've only broken it by a couple of days twice in 16 years."
Amber Tamblyn and "Arrested Development" star David Cross took their relationship to the altar in 2012.
The couple welcomed their first child together, Marlow, in February 2017. Tamblyn and Cross both took to Instagram the following month to share a photo of the newborn.
"Somehow my wife gave birth to a 55 year old furrier from Crown Heights," Cross joked. "I'm investigating."
"Saturday Night Live" alum Taran Killam and "How I Met Your Mother" star Cobie Smulders said "I do" in 2012 and have two children.
In 2012, the "SNL" star sat down for an interview with Vulture just days after the couple's wedding. When the interviewer asked Killam why they weren't on their honeymoon, he replied, "Every day with Cobie is a honeymoon!"
In an interview with Parents, Smulders revealed that she always wanted to be a parent.
"I come from a big family," she said. "I have two sisters and a brother and then my father remarried and I have four siblings from that marriage, which happened when I was quite young. So I always wanted kids but I also always wanted a career. I've always wanted both. It's a balancing system."
The seventh Bond, Daniel Craig, put a ring on it back in 2011 when he married Rachel Weisz in a private ceremony involving just her son and his daughter.
In a 2015 interview with MORE magazine, Weisz explained why they keep things private.
"He's just too famous," she said. "It would be a betrayal. You have to protect your marriage. When you're young, you tell your girlfriends everything. One of the great pleasures of not being an adolescent is that you don't have to share everything. When you're married, that door closes. The audience goes, and you're in your own life."
Jamie Lee Curtis and mockumentary director Christopher Guest tied the knot in 1984.
These lovebirds and parents of two have been together for more than three decades, so everyone's asking: What's their secret for staying together?
When asked on the "Today" show in 2015, she gave a very thoughtful answer. "Don't get divorced," she said. "It's a fascinating thing. I could write a book on marriage called 'Don't Leave.'"
Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen, who's known for his role as Borat, got married in 2010 and have three children together.
These two aren't your average couple. With Sacha's racy roles, they've got more than a few wild memories they've shared.
"Once, Sacha came back from work while he was shooting 'Bruno' and he had red welts and blood all over his back, and his thumb was broken," Fisher told Square Mile magazine. "It was the result of a scene with a real six-foot-four dominatrix who had tried to force him to have sex with her. When I asked him what had happened, he just said it was a 'workplace injury.'"
Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons married "Great Gatsby" star Carey Mulligan in 2012.
Mulligan and Mumford are known for keeping their relationship behind closed doors. Luckily, their friend Sienna Miller has seen enough to shed some light for their fans.
"They have chickens and a dog, and roasts and friends, jams by campfires. It's sort of idyllic," she told Vogue. "Marcus can headline Glastonbury and Carey can be nominated for however many Oscars, and then they come back to their farm, and they're in big woolly jumpers and funny hats, raising piglets."
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have been married since 2010 and are often seen together on music's hottest red carpets.
When Keys made a statement by going makeup free to the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, Swizz defended his wife against any haters.
"Y'all gotta think about that. This is deep," he said in an Instagram video. "Somebody's sitting at home mad, because somebody didn't wear makeup on their face — not your face, but they didn't put makeup on their face, because they just didn't feel like wearing makeup."
Carrie Preston from "True Blood" wed Michael Emerson, aka creepy Ben Linus from "Lost," back in 1998.
Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, who have two children together, have one of the longest marriages in Hollywood.
Huffman and Macy were nominated for awards at the 2016 Emmy's, and Huffman explained what happened on the morning the nominations were announced.
"In the morning of the nominations, when we were both nominated, he told me 'You're not going to win.' I told him, 'You're not going to win.' Then we gave each other a kiss!" she said to an ABC correspondent on the red carpet.
Claire Danes and her British actor husband Hugh Dancy wed in 2009 and had their only son, Cyrus, in 2012.
Despite being married for almost 10 years, Danes says she's still learning.
"Marriage is wonderful. It's challenging, and … it just keeps getting deeper. I keep learning more things about him and myself, and that's not always comfortable," Danes said during a 2015 interview. "But I have this incredible security, and it's a huge asset to have a partnership with someone you trust and admire – and want to make out with."
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon have been together for more than three decades.
The two actors, who costarred in the movie "Lemon Sky," wed in 1988. They have two children together, a son named Travis and a daughter named Sosie.
Sedgwick and Bacon continue to support each other on red carpets for their projects, and don't mind being silly together on social media.
The "Footloose" star gave a heartwarming shout out to his long-time partner back in 2015 as they rang in their 27th year together.
"Celebrating 9,855 days of marriage to @kyrasedgwick," he wrote. He followed up that post with a throwback for the ages adding, "Did I mention it's 1,404 weeks sine we tied the knot? #LikeFineWine."
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are another Hollywood couple that has been together for quite some time.
They met at the 2002 Golden Globes and have been married for more than 10 years. The actors have a 22-year age gap, but to them, it's not a big deal.
"It doesn't faze me," Flockhart told Hello! magazine in 2003. "Sometimes I even say, 'Wow, I keep forgetting that he's [22] years older than me.' It doesn't factor into our relationship at all."
"The Good Place" actor Ted Danson and "The Proposal" star Mary Steenburgen have been married for more than two decades.
They met through Danson's audition for the 1983 film "Cross Creek" but didn't date at the time.
"I was married. He was married. That was not our moment," Steenburgen told People magazine in 2021.
Sure enough, the actors reconnected — as costars in the 1993 film "Pontiac Moon." They wed two years later.
"I want as long as possible in my life with Mary," Danson told People magazine. "I know it will have all of its hard parts but I want to experience love in all those moments."
"She-Hulk" star Jameela Jamil and Grammy-winning musician James Blake have been dating for more than five years.
They were first linked in 2015 when Jamil posted a photo of them celebrating her birthday in LA. Since then, they've stepped out together at red carpets and posted about each other on Instagram.
In 2015, Blake told Dazed magazine that the "Good Place" star, who never minces words on social media, encouraged him to say how he really feels and be outspoken.
Meanwhile, Jamil said on Emma Gannon's "Ctrl Alt Delete" podcast, that her boyfriend taught her "to stick up for myself."
She also told Meghan Markle that Blunt is a "great source of strength and comfort."
"He's incredibly supportive of me, and you know he's been a big encourager of me to learn how to fight back and speak my mind and understand my worth, and he's just a great ally," Jamil said.
