The couple discuss frequent opportunities to act together and their approach to collaboration.

Adam Brody and Leighton Meester lit up the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet, not just with their style but with their candid insights into how they navigate acting opportunities as a married couple. Married since 2014, the duo have worked together on several projects, but it seems they’re deliberate about choosing when to share the screen.

In an interview with E! News, Meester, 38, and Brody, 44, revealed that opportunities to collaborate often come their way. “We talk about it,” Meester said when asked if they’ve thought about acting in more joint projects. “It comes up a lot.”

Brody, who received his first-ever Golden Globe nomination this year for his role in Netflix’s romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This, elaborated on how frequently they’re pitched as a pair. “It’s true, almost everything we do, they’re like, ‘Would your husband or wife want to be in this as well?’” he shared.

Meester jokingly added, “We have to resist more than we seek it out,” hinting that while the idea of working together is appealing, it’s not always their priority.

The couple most recently collaborated on the 2023 adventure thriller River Wild, a modern reimagining of the classic 1994 film. Their shared screen time has always been highly anticipated, with fans celebrating their unique dynamic.

The pair’s journey to becoming Hollywood’s favourite couple began with a chance meeting through mutual friends at a Los Angeles deli. They reconnected in 2011 while filming the comedy-drama The Oranges, but their romance didn’t blossom until 2013. After a whirlwind courtship, they got engaged in November 2013 and married in February 2014 in an intimate ceremony.

Since then, Brody and Meester have built a life together that balances family and professional success. They are parents to two children: 9-year-old Arlo Day and a younger son born in 2020, whose name they’ve chosen to keep private.

Despite their busy careers, the couple have made it clear that family comes first. Meester often praises Brody’s parenting skills, while he has spoken openly about how much he values the partnership they’ve built.

For fans, the idea of Brody and Meester appearing in more projects together is undeniably exciting. Both actors rose to fame through beloved teen dramas—Brody as Seth Cohen in The O.C. and Meester as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl—and their on-screen chemistry in films like The Oranges has only added to their appeal.

When asked if they have a “dream project” they’d like to tackle together, Brody laughed and said, “We don’t have a dream project. We always like to work together when it comes up.”

While fans might hope to see them more frequently on screen as a couple, Meester and Brody’s thoughtful approach to collaboration underscores their dedication to both their craft and their relationship. As Meester put it, “It’s about finding the right balance and making sure it feels right for both of us.”

With Brody’s recent Golden Globe nomination and Meester’s continued success in television and film, it’s clear that Hollywood’s favourite duo has found a way to thrive both personally and professionally. As they celebrated a major milestone in Brody’s career at the 2025 Golden Globes, their fans were reminded once again of why they continue to root for this talented, down-to-earth couple.
