2023 was a monumental year for director Greta Gerwig, as she celebrated a successful adaptation of "Barbie," welcomed her second son, and tied the knot with her partner, Noah Baumbach. The happy news was announced by a spokesperson to the renowned US magazine, "People."
Gerwig and Baumbach: A perfect blend of love and work
The ceremony took place at New York City Hall, a testament to their enduring love that blossomed twelve years ago. The couple met while working on "Greenberg" in 2010, with Baumbach directing and Gerwig delivering an exceptional performance in the lead role. Their shared passion for storytelling soon led them to write the screenplay for "Barbie," which became an enormous box office success and set new records for Gerwig.
In an interview with "Vogue" in 2019, Baumbach shared his admiration for working with Gerwig, explaining, "The pleasure of writing for us is that it gets into everything. I show her a clip of my movie and then watch her movie a few months later. I don't want to sound terribly happy, but it's really great to watch someone you love do something they love."
Their collaborative efforts were further highlighted at the Oscars when Baumbach praised Gerwig, stating, "My partner has made me a better person and a better writer. When we write together, I always try to impress her. I feel like I write better because I work harder. I want her to be impressed."
Two sons and a loving family
In July 2023, Gerwig disclosed in an interview with Elle that she and Baumbach had welcomed their second son into the family, joining their first son born in 2019. The dynamic duo's apparent affection for each other and their family extends beyond the silver screen, making their union a harmonious blend of love and artistic ambition.
