OK, OK, I’ll drop the Gossip Girl schtick, but the Kristen Bell of it all just made it too hard to pass up. Seriously, though, I do want to talk about Adam Brody and his wife Leighton Meester, because the two were spotted sneaking quite the intimate moment at the Critics Choice Awards after he won for his role on one of the best shows to binge on Netflix.

They’ve been through it recently, but the actor couple were the undisputed prom king and queen of the 2025 Critics Choice Awards—complete with that rom-com-worthy snog.

2025 has been incredibly emotional for Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, who lost their house in the Los Angeles Palisades wildfires back in January. Seeing Leighton tear up at the news of Adam’s win, and their passionate kiss after, actually brought a tear to everyone’s eye. They were really the most deserving people in the room that night!

While accepting the Critics Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy for Nobody Wants This, Adam Brody gave a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Leighton Meester, with the couple then sharing a passionate kiss.

Adam Brody, who himself is Jewish, won the prize at an awards ceremony in Santa Monica, California, on Friday. The prize was presented by Rachel Brosnahan, who is best known for playing the Jewish lead in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
