Leighton Meester Gushing Over Husband Adam Brody, Despite Her Usually Keeping Quiet About Their Relationship, Is Making Me Smile From Ear-To-Ear

Despite typically keeping details of their marriage private, Leighton Meester is opening up about her life with husband Adam Brody.

During a recent interview with E! News, Leighton shared some rare comments about her "normal relationship" with The O.C. alum.

"We're super, super lucky, and I think we recognize how lucky we are with one another," Leighton said.

"We give each other a lot of respect and time and attention and focus — like, really put our time and energy into a relationship."

Leighton and Adam have been married for nine years. They began dating after filming The Oranges together back in 2010. They got engaged in 2013 and tied the knot in a small ceremony on Feb. 15, 2014.

And while she knows their relationship is far from perfect, the EXmas star said they've found a way to "just make it work" through the "good and the hard" times.

Leighton and Adam also have two children together, who they prefer to keep out of the spotlight — an 8-year-old daughter named Arlo and a 3-year-old son, whose name has not been made public yet.

The two have continued to flourish on-and-off screen as they've shared the screen together on several projects, including episodes of Single Parents and their latest action-thriller River Wild.
