Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, beloved stars of teen dramas, have chosen to keep their family life largely private. The couple, married since 2014, are parents to two children, including their four-year-old son, whose name remains unknown to the public. Their nine-year-old daughter, Arlo Day Brody, has also been kept out of the limelight.
The couple welcomed their first child in August 2015, without prior announcement of Leighton's pregnancy. However, their second pregnancy in 2020 was revealed when photos of a visibly pregnant Leighton surfaced in March of that year. Adam confirmed the birth of their second child, a baby boy, in October 2020, sharing insights on the challenges and joys of parenting during a pandemic.
In a recent interview, Adam discussed their parenting approach, emphasizing a balance between being protective and allowing freedom. He stated, “We have some very truthful conversations, for better or worse. But other than that, I wouldn't say overly strict.” He also expressed surprise at how well they have managed to keep their children safe, humorously noting the potential for accidents with their adventurous son.
Leighton, who rarely discusses her children, described motherhood as an emotional journey that has influenced her reflections on her own upbringing. She expressed a desire to provide her children with opportunities she didn't have, while fostering a sense of gratitude for their current life.
