Nobody Wants This Star Adam Brody Recalls His First Meeting With Leighton Meester: ‘I Was Smitten Instantly’

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but feel like a matchmaker who brought together the perfect duo! The serendipitous meeting of Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf, played by Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, in real life has to be one of the most romantic tales in Hollywood history.


Adam Brody, known as “This star,” recently shared stories about his initial encounter with his wife, Leighton Meester. In an unexpected twist, these two actors who played Blair Waldorf (portrayed by Meester) in Gossip Girl and Seth Cohen (played by Brody) in The O.C., ended up marrying and starting a family together in real life.

During a joint promotion for their latest Netflix series with Kristen Bell, the actor from Gilmore Girls reminisced about first encountering his wife in person, which took place at a deli named Canner’s located in Los Angeles.

In my account, during my initial encounter with the media platform, I disclosed a fascinating tale about my first meeting. Back then, I was quite fond of frequenting that specific location. One memorable day, the Gossip Girl cast organized a prop party right there, offering me an unforgettable chance to catch a glimpse of the woman who would later become my wife.

Brody expressed that he was immediately captivated by her, and his infatuation lasted a significant period of time. Despite working together briefly years later, they didn’t become acquainted until much later, but he found her to be incredibly kind, charming, sweet, and wonderful. However, she remained an enigma to him for a long time, which is a testament to her character.

During an interview on the Podcrushed podcast, Penn Badgley suggested that Leighton Meester was overly cautious about hiding her feelings for him, and he mentioned that they had several unsuccessful attempts at forming a relationship, but ultimately managed to overcome their difficulties together.

In 2014, Adam and Leighton exchanged wedding vows at a private event, following nearly a year of romance.

Earlier, during an interview on the Today show with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush, Brody was questioned about his marriage secret to the Monte Carlo actress. He replied, “Choose a wonderful person. Fall in love with someone exceptional and truly listen to them. If you’re with someone extraordinary, then you’re already three-quarters of the way there.

I affirmed, “It demands self-sacrifice, humility, and mutual growth. You must embrace the change because you won’t remain stagnant in one place forever. If you’re with someone extraordinary, then you’ve advanced to third base.

In a 2023 interview with E! News, Mistress also expressed that they’ve been incredibly fortunate in their relationship.

Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have been married for the past 10 years and share two kids.
