New York City’s elite and Orange County’s comic book lover — complete opposites on-screen — have found romance in the real world. Leighton Meester, who famously portrayed Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, and Adam Brody, who is best known as The O.C. ‘s Seth Cohen, tied the knot in 2013 after meeting on the set of the film The Oranges two years earlier. The two began sparking rumors of a relationship but have always kept the details out of the spotlight. Get the inside scoop on Adam Brody and Leighton Meester’s private marriage.

After filming the movie, Meester and Brody reconnected at a screening of The Oranges in 2012 and by February 2013, it was confirmed the two were linked romantically. They made their first public appearance in June of the same year. Although they had been spotted together on multiple occasions, neither Meester nor Brody confirmed their relationship.

“I was very attracted to her from the jump,” Brody explained. “She’s a heavenly creature. I thought she was gorgeous. And even when we did the movie, there was chemistry there, but I was seeing someone.”

In February 2014, it was learned that the couple had secretly married in an intimate wedding in northern California. Their first public appearance as husband and wife came in June 2014 during the Tony Awards.
