If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Adam Brody is that guy — and honestly, who wouldn’t date a rabbi if the rabbi was Adam Brody?
After diving deep into Netflix’s latest masterpiece, ‘Nobody Wants This’, we’re all collectively in our feels about this iconic O.C. alum once again.
The charm, the wit, the curls? It’s a vibe we never get tired of.
Unfortunately, I’ve got some news. If you were secretly manifesting a meet-cute with Adam Brody, it’s time to take a pause on those delulu daydreams.
He’s officially off the market — and who, you may ask, is the lucky one? None other than the Gossip Girl queen herself, Leighton Meester. Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf as an IRL couple?
Like, how iconic is that?! The crossover we never knew we needed, and yet we are forever blessed.
They are truly the definition of goals, and they embody the kind of effortless connection that makes you believe in love all over again, theygossip.com reports.
But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before Adam was swept off his feet by Leighton, he had a handful of very public romances, and some were equally as adorable. Curious? Yeah, same.
We all are. So, let’s dive into Adam Brody’s relationship history — from the early days in the industry to his ultimate love story with Leighton Meester.
The Rachel Bilson Era
Let’s start with the one that made The O.C. fans lose their collective minds — Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, aka Seth and Summer.
During their The O.C. days, Adam and Rachel brought our favorite on-screen couple to life, and in true TV magic fashion, they were also a real-life item for a few years.
Dating from 2003 to 2006, the pair were the it couple of the early 2000s. Their adorable red carpet moments and behind-the-scenes cuteness had everyone shipping them harder than their characters on TV.

I mean, who wouldn’t want Seth and Summer to be together in real life? They were the ultimate millennial dream team — quirky, cute, and major vibes.
Rebound Romances and Low-key Links
After parting ways with Rachel Bilson, Adam entered his “quietly dating but not too public” era.
He was linked to a few people in Hollywood, though none of them seemed to have the serious sparks we saw with Rachel or the future connection he’d have with Leighton
One name that stands out from this time is Lorene Scafaria, a talented screenwriter and director known for films like Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
They reportedly dated for a couple of years, starting in 2010, and had a pretty low-profile romance compared to his O.C. days.
They bonded over shared creative pursuits and indie film vibes, which made them an adorable artsy duo — but as fate would have it, Adam’s real love story was still waiting to unfold.
Leighton Meester (His Wife)
Fast forward to 2013, and Adam’s love life took a turn for the legendary when he met Leighton Meester.
They met on the set of the movie The Oranges, and their chemistry was instant — you know, the type that makes you go, “Oh yeah, this is it.”
By 2014, Adam and Leighton were officially married, and just like that, Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf were making us all believe in fairy tales again.
Adam Brody and Leighton Meester
It’s almost as if every 2000s teen TV fan wrote this into existence — I mean, these were two of the most beloved characters from two of the most iconic shows of our generation.
Their relationship has been super private, which, in all honesty, makes it even cuter. The fact that they live this low-key life, away from the paparazzi and media chaos, just screams “couple goals.”
They share two children now, and their family moments are just so effortlessly wholesome.
Every once in a while, they’ll give us a peek into their life — maybe an appearance on each other’s social media, or an interview where they talk about how much they love each other — and it’s always enough to have us swooning.
So, What Makes Adam Brody Special?
Honestly, it’s the authenticity for me.
Adam and Leighton keep things real — no flashy drama, no crazy scandals. Just two people who love each other, raise their kids, and live their best lives.
It’s refreshing to see a celeb couple that’s in it for the right reasons, without all the noise. They remind us that true love doesn’t need the bells and whistles to be beautiful.
And can we talk about how they support each other’s work? Adam is Leighton’s biggest fan, and vice versa, and it just hits differently when you see a couple that genuinely want the best for each other. Chef’s kiss, truly.
