Leighton Meester and Adam Brody have been loving life in their solid nine-year marriage, proving it’s all about giving each other respect, time, and a whole lot of attention. They’re not just a cute couple; they’re also putting in the effort to handle the usual highs and lows of married life together. The Gossip Girl queen says she’s super lucky to have Brody by her side.

Their Relationship Timeline

Let’s rewind to the beginning. Adam and Leighton first crossed paths in 2011 on the set of The Oranges. The real-life love story kicked off in 2013 when they made their couple debut. They eventually said “I do” in 2014.

Fast forward to now, and they’re now proud parents to seven-year-old Arlo Day and a little boy born in 2020. In an April episode of the Stitcher Studios podcast Podcrushed, Adam Brody shared a bit about when he first met Leighton Meester. According to him, it was a love at first sight when he saw her at Canters Deli in Los Angeles. Brody admits he couldn’t quite figure her out at first, but then fate did its thing, and they got together.

Finding a Balance

Even though Leighton is killing it in her Christmas movie EXmas, she knows how to keep things in check. She spilled the beans on how she juggles her crazy schedule with Adam, highlighting the need to snag small moments for herself. Whether it’s writing, working out, or just chilling with her man, she’s all about finding that sweet balance, even when life throws curveballs.
