Adam Brody Regrets 'Pedestrian' Proposal to Leighton Meester
26 Oct
Summary
- Adam Brody admitted his proposal to Leighton Meester was not romantic.
- He proposed quickly into their relationship, emphasizing speed over romance.
- Brody advises planning proposals for the lifelong story they create.
Adam Brody reflected on his proposal to Leighton Meester during a recent appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast. He confessed that while their relationship and subsequent marriage moved quickly, the proposal itself was "very pedestrian" and lacked significant romance, a fact he now regrets.
Brody, who married Meester in early 2014 after becoming public with their relationship in February 2013, shared that he was not a fan of grand romantic gestures or Valentine's Day. He advised listeners planning proposals to focus on creating a memorable story that will be recounted for years, rather than just the immediate moment.
His comments came while promoting the third season of his Netflix series, Nobody Wants This. Brody's co-stars also shared thoughts on proposals, with Timothy Simons noting Brody's pragmatic approach to commitment. Despite his practical nature, Brody admitted he "kick[s] himself a little" for not making the proposal more special for Meester.
