Tragedy has brought Hollywood’s beloved couple, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, closer than ever as they work to rebuild their lives.
On the sunny morning of February 20, 2025, the duo was spotted strolling through the streets of Los Angeles, house hunting and shopping for a new place. The search comes after they tragically lost their family home in the devastating L.A. wildfires in early January 2025.
The Nobody Wants This star kept it casual and comfy in a navy blue half-zip knitted cardigan layered over a plain white T-shirt, paired with dark-wash blue jeans and muted brown sneakers.
Leighton, meanwhile, looked chic in a black-and-white striped knee-length coat over an off-white satin top, paired with an oversized black trousers. She completed her look with chunky black leather loafers and a pastel blue suede handbag.
In the paparazzi captured images, Meester and Brody appeared deeply engaged in conversation, seemingly oblivious to the flashing cameras around them. The weight of their loss and the frustrations of house hunting were subtly etched on their faces.
