In Hollywood, the only phenomenon that might outpace celebrity breakups is stars saying “I do.” From private, hush-hush ceremonies to larger-than-life fêtes, A-listers are true professionals when it comes to nuptials. Last year truly saw it all—from Sofia Richie’s days-long vows to businessman Elliot Grainge to Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup’s courthouse ceremony—and it’s likely that 2024 will have all that and much, much more. Keep track of every celebrity couple who walked down the aisle this year, below.
Abbi Jacobson and Jodi Balfour
Quiet Luxury nuptials, anyone? Abbi Jacobson and Jodi Balfour said “I do” after four years of dating in a lively Brooklyn ceremony—all the while outfitted in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row.
Jacobson and Balfour first met four years during COVID and have been engaged since the summer of 2022. The actresses shared their vows at Public Records in Brooklyn while surrounded by family and friends. For the reception, Jacobson and Balfour changed from their black and white The Row dresses into Versace and Vivienne Westwood looks, respectively.
“It was such kismet, because the ceremony was not what we expected, but it was exactly what we’d hoped for,” Jacobson told Cultured. “People were packed together. When we looked out at the audience, our friends were on stools, peeking through the plants, and sitting on top of the booths. I’ve never been to a wedding like that.”
Balfour added, “It really was ‘one of those nights.’ We were in a dark wooden room with no windows, an insane sound system, and a disco ball. Everyone’s nice clothes became wet rags. People were smoking who don’t smoke. Our moms did the hora. It was like we all existed in a different dimension for a while.”
Christina Hendricks and George Bianchini
Christina Hendricks has said “I do.” On April 20th, Hendrick’s married George Bianchini—her second marriage after her relationship with actor Geoffrey Arend—at the historic Napoleon House in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The couple’s three-day fête featured a welcome party at the Soniat House followed by a ghost tour in the city’s historic French Quarter. Guests included Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, Retta, Mae Whitman, and Christian Siriano. Hendricks told People that she and Bianchini—who first met on the set of Hendricks’s TV show Good Girls and started dating in 2020—both feel a special connection to New Orleans.
“New Orleans is a place that I always loved to go before I met George, and a place that he always loved to go before he met me,” the actress explained to the outlet, adding “And then when we first started dating or meeting up, because we lived across the country from one another, it was the place in the middle.”
Chanel Iman and Davon Godchaux
The model Chanel Iman tied the knot with NFL athlete Davon Godchaux during a civil ceremony in New York before eloping in the Carribean. The couple shared details of their nuptials with Vogue, saying that it was their “ideal, dream day.”
Iman sported a custom beaded gown from Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad while Godchaux kept things classic in a double-breasted suit. “There were a lot of emotions on the day of the wedding,” Iman told Vogue. “We laughed, we cried, we danced — and made incredible memories together. The trip actually moved us and inspired us to do this annually with our family.”
The newlyweds first made their relationship public in 2022 before Godchauz popped the question just over a year later during a trip to Capri, Italy. Back in September, the couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Capri Summer Godchaux. The baby joins Callie, 5, and Cassie, 4—Iman’s two daughters from her last marriage to Sterling Shepard—and Davon, 8, Godchaux’s son from a previous relationship.
Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea
Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show finished off with a surprise—no, not a secret guest performer, but the hitmaker’s marriage to his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea. Per People, the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas on February 11th.
“We can confirm that Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea took the next step in their relationship and did get married on Sunday night in Las Vegas surrounded by close friends and family,” a representative told People. “They both look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love and thank everyone for the well wishes.”
Usher and Goicoechea were said to have exchanged vows at a drive-through wedding venue in Vegas with the singer’s mother, Jonetta Patton, acting as the couple’s witness. Prior to the ceremony, Usher spoke about his connection to Goicoechea, whom he met in 2019 and shares two children with.
“We’re going to be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share,” he said, adding “That’s beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect.”
Donald Glover and Michelle White
Donald Glover and Michelle White might not be Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but they’re officially Mr. and Mrs. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Glover revealed that he and White quietly tied the knot while we was filming the action series—and the actor, interestingly, went to work right after.
“There was a day where I don’t think we had to be on set until noon or 1,” Donald told the publication, referencing his role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. “So, I was like, ‘Can we get married today?”
The actor added that he and White had a “real” wedding after he finished on set, saying “We went to our favorite restaurant, and then her parents and my mom were waiting for us at the house.”
Glover and White have been dating since 2015 and share three children—Legend, Drake, and Donald Glover III—together.
