The actress hilariously opens up about her relatable married-life moments with the former O.C. star.

A Funny Confession About Married Life

October 30, 2025: Leighton Meester is giving fans a candid glimpse into her marriage with Adam Brody — and it’s both sweet and hilarious. During a recent interview, the Gossip Girl alum admitted that she occasionally forgets she’s married to the O.C. actor. “Sometimes I’ll see him and think, ‘Oh right, that’s my husband!’” Meester joked, laughing at her own forgetfulness.

When Fiction Meets Reality

The couple, who famously represent two of TV’s most beloved teen dramas, have been together for over a decade. Meester explained that between raising their kids and balancing busy filming schedules, it’s easy to lose track of the “Hollywood power couple” label. “We’re just normal people — it’s easy to forget the whole TV-icon thing when you’re changing diapers or arguing over what to watch at night,” she said.

From On-Screen Icons to Real-Life Partners

Fans have long adored the pairing of Meester and Brody, whose love story feels like a crossover between Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf and The O.C.’s Seth Cohen. “It’s funny because people expect us to be those characters,” Meester added. “But in real life, we’re just two dorks who met, fell in love, and now share a life together.”

A Marriage Built on Humor and Love

Despite her playful comments, Meester was quick to add how grateful she is for her husband. “He’s my best friend,” she said. “Even if I forget for a second, I always remember how lucky I am.”
