Celebrities who marry celebrities: From Adam Sandler and Billie Eilish to Jimmy Kimmel, twice over

16 fotosIn celebrity circles, some stars have taken on one of the most important roles on the big day, presiding over the weddings of friends, family members and fellow performers, collaborators or co-stars whose projects helped shape their livesTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding has been one of the most high-profile celebrity weddings of 2026. And yet, remarkably few details have emerged from the star-studded ceremony between the singer and the American football player, which took place on July 3 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. There isn’t even a photograph of the newlyweds yet. One detail they did reveal, however, was who officiated the wedding. To the surprise of many, it was their “friend” Adam Sandler, according to a brief statement released by the couple. Although Sandler is not part of the newlyweds’ inner circle, he has several connections to both the football star and the pop icon. For instance, Kelce made a brief cameo in 'Happy Gilmore 2,' the 2025 film starring Sandler, who also co-wrote and produced it. That same year, the actor appeared as a guest on New Heights, the podcast Kelce co-hosts with his brother, Jason. The comedian has also long been vocal about his admiration for Swift. In fact, he has gone so far as to say that she is the only person who makes him nervous.cordon pressAfter nearly eight years together — having first met through Raya, the exclusive dating app for celebrities — Finneas O’Connell married Claudia Sulewski in Montecito, California, on August 29, 2026. The ceremony was officiated by Billie Eilish, the singer-songwriter and music producer’s sister. It is hardly surprising that Eilish played such a central role in her brother’s wedding, given the close bond between the two. Finneas has supported the 'Birds of a Feather' singer both personally and professionally, co-writing and producing all of her musical projects, several of which have earned Grammy Awards and two Oscars. “He's the only reason I'm anywhere in the whole world. He's probably the only reason I am alive,” the artist said of her brother while accepting an award in 2019. On the day of the wedding, after the couple reached the altar, Billie asked them to turn around and take in the sight of their guests, according to the wedding feature published exclusively by 'Vogue.'

They were Norman Reedus and Jensen Ackles, Morgan’s co-stars in 'The Walking Dead' and 'Supernatural,' respectively. Burton herself revealed the detail on her Instagram account. Morgan had previously explained that his former 'Supernatural' co-star and his wife, Danneel Harris — who appeared alongside Burton in 'One Tree Hill' — were the ones who introduced the couple back in 2009.

The connection was his wife, Rita Wilson, who played Evie Michaels, the eccentric mother of Williams’ character, Marnie Michaels, in the HBO series 'Girls' (2012–2017), which helped launch Williams’ career in the industry. Williams married Van Veen at a ranch in Wyoming on September 16, 2015, but the couple announced their separation four years later. “Here's what I did: I studied the ministry for over $35. And if you want to call me the Right Reverend Tom Hanks, I think you should,” the actor joked just days after the wedding, when asked about the ceremony while promoting his film 'Bridges of Spies.'

Over the years they spent filming the show, the two became close friends — a bond that was clear to everyone when Rodriguez chose Baldoni to officiate her wedding to Joe LoCicero. According to 'People' magazine, Baldoni also sang as Rodriguez walked down the aisle in a Pronovias wedding dress.

A few months earlier, McKellen himself had announced that he would be officiating his friend's wedding. Speaking to presenter Jonathan Ross, the actor revealed that the wedding would take place in Massachusetts or “in the middle of America, somewhere,” where it is possible to obtain a “one-day marriage designation” allowing someone to legally officiate a wedding ceremony. "I've done it once before with two guys having a civil partnership," in the U.K., he added. "I was crying my eyes out." Following Stewart's death on October 26, 2026, McKellen posted a photograph on Facebook showing him holding a “Doctor of Divinity” certificate and wearing a black T-shirt with the word “Minister.” “I played my part,” he wrote, adding a link to the wedding announcement his friend had posted on Twitter. In 2020, however, Stewart revealed on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show that the legal wedding had actually taken place in a Los Angeles restaurant. "We learned that [McKellen] could not use his credentials in Nevada, where we were getting married... so we invited Ian and out other two guests and a director to a Mexican restaurant for dinner [in California]," he explained. "And they were really closing down when we got there, it was pretty late. And Ian had brought with him a kind of robe — but our guests had no idea what was happening. And in fact, we were formally married in a Mexican restaurant."

Kimmel was the person who officiated Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s wedding in August 2015. It was radio host Howard Stern, one of the guests at the star-studded Hollywood wedding, who revealed Kimmel’s role in the ceremony, from which few other details emerged. The couple had kept the wedding a secret even from their guests, who had been invited under the pretext of celebrating Theroux’s birthday. “That was the biggest blessing in the world that he officiated our wedding.” 'The Leftovers' actor said on Good Morning America in 2017. "It was exactly what you would want him to do. He was extremely funny, kept things extremely light, and was extremely touching."Jeff Kravitz (FilmMagic)Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux may have chosen Jimmy Kimmel to officiate their wedding partly because they knew he already had experience performing the role. The talk-show host had previously pronounced Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, husband and wife for a second time when the couple renewed their vows on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia in April 2013, a decade after they first met. According to an exclusive report by 'E! News' at the time, the 50 guests — including Ben Affleck and his then-wife, Jennifer Garner — were stunned to discover that Kimmel was officiating the ceremony. Apparently, Matt and Luciana had kept his involvement a secret from everyone until the very last moment.Jerritt Clark (Getty Images)When actress America Ferrera married Ryan Piers Williams in 2011, she asked her 'Ugly Betty' co-star Judith Light to officiate the ceremony. “I tell everybody she's my mother, and people are like, 'What?' I didn't come out of her body, but she is like a mother to me. I love her so dearly,” Ferrera said of her relationship with Light. “If you would have told my little self that Angela from 'Who's The Boss' was going to officiate my wedding… There's no one in the world more aptly named, right? She is just light, she's the best and I love her to death." Vanessa Williams, another member of the 'Ugly Betty' cast, also played a key role in the wedding: Ferrera and Williams tied the knot at her home in Chappaqua, New York State.

As Shetty revealed a couple of years later, his connection with the singer and actress had begun several years earlier, when she appeared on his popular podcast, On Purpose with Jay Shetty. “We hit it off, and then we stayed in touch, and we were connected,” he said. When Lopez asked him to officiate the ceremony, he admitted he felt “nervous” and “anxious.” Speaking on Katie Couric’s podcast, he added that on the day itself he was “an anxious wreck” and tried not to cry as the star walked down the aisle. He and Lopez had spoken beforehand, which helped him understand the kind of ceremony the couple — now divorced — wanted. They ended their marriage in August 2024, after just two years together, bringing the Bennifer story to a definitive close. Shetty described officiating Affleck and Lopez’s wedding as “one of the most surreal experiences of [his] life.” “Because I love love, and I love everything to do with romance. I'm having the experience of like, ‘Am I in a movie or am I in reality because I've only ever seen weddings like this in a movie?’ And then I'm like, ‘No, no, no, this is real. Get back into reality.’" It was not the first time Shetty had married two celebrities: he also officiated at the wedding of actress Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell, which took place in Colorado in September 2021.Travis Ball (Sipa USA / Cordon Press) / Ryan Hartford (Cordon Press)After a year of dating, singer Adam Levine and model Behati Prinsloo married in July 2014 at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico. Around 275 guests attended, among them one particularly notable guest: Jonah Hill. The actor, known for films such as 'Superbad' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' officiated the wedding of the Maroon 5 frontman and the Victoria’s Secret Angel. Hill was "funny, charming and very sentimental,” one guest told 'People' magazine. Levine and Hill have been friends since childhood and attended Brentwood School in Los Angeles together. During their teenage years, they also became friends with actor Jason Segel ('How I Met Your Mother'), who was a groomsman at the wedding. Hill’s brother, Jordan Feldstein, was also closely connected to the singer: he managed Adam Levine and Maroon 5 for more than 15 years, until his death at the age of 40 in 2017 from a heart attack at his home.

It was on the set of the show that she met Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who played her uncle, Mitchell Pritchett. In August 2022, the actor officiated the wedding between Hyland and Wells Adams. “I had the best seat in the house for this stunner of a wedding. What an honour to marry my two dear friends!” Ferguson wrote on Instagram, alongside two photos of Hyland and Adams kissing on their wedding day. The ceremony took place at a vineyard in Santa Ynez, California. “ I couldn't be happier for you love bugs,” he added, before joking: “I also do Bar Mitzvahs.” “I don't know if people know this, but Ty Burrell [who played Hyland’s father in Modern Family] was meant to do it, and there was a family emergency. I got a call 12 days before the wedding, and that's why Ty wasn’t there."

The couple separated in 2016, but did not finalize their divorce until September 2026. Just a few weeks after they officially became single again, Meyer married Geoffrey Ogunlesi, a music executive and co-owner of the clothing brand Sp5der, whom she had met in 2022. The person who officiated the wedding was none other than Tobey Maguire himself. “Having Tobey, my ex-husband, officiate was so special. A little unconventional, but so perfectly us,” the designer told the U.S. edition of 'Vogue' on October 15 2026. The magazine had exclusive rights to the photographs of the wedding, which took place on the Hawaiian island of Lānaʻi. The idyllic archipelago had also been the setting for her wedding to Maguire, although that ceremony took place on the island of Maui.Sipa USA (Cordon Press)Jean Smart, who has won multiple awards for her role as Deborah Vance in the series 'Hacks,' officiated the wedding of actor Mark Indelicato, who played her assistant Damien in the show, on October 10, 2026. In a video shared on social media by fellow Hacks actor Johnny Sibilly, Smart could be heard delivering the words that mark one of the most important moments of any wedding ceremony. Among the guests was Hannah Einbinder, another of the show’s stars, who delivered the evening’s final speech. “I asked [Smart] if she would and she said, ‘I thought you’d never ask,’” Indelicato told 'The New York Times' in an article about the wedding. In the months leading up to the ceremony, Smart spoke to the couple separately to gather material for the service. “They were falling all over themselves, saying such wonderful things about each other,” the actress told the newspaper. Asked about how she became ordained through American Marriage Ministries, she said: “Well, I'd like to say that it was a long, thoughtful process with some deep conversations, but I believe my assistant did it for me online.” The couple married at the home of actress Ana Ortiz, Indelicato’s co-star in Ugly Betty, in Laurel Canyon, a hilly neighbourhood in Los Angeles.Michael Buckner (Variety via Getty Images)Actress Elizabeth Reaser, best known for playing Esme Cullen in the 'Twilight' saga, secretly married composer Bruce Gilbert at the Caruso hotel in Ravello, on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, in August 2023, with just four guests in attendance. They were actress Holland Taylor ('Two and a Half Men') and her partner, Sarah Paulson ('American Horror Story'), as well as fellow actors Megan Ferguson ('Gossip Girl') and Nico Evers-Swindell ('The Magicians'). Holland Taylor officiated the ceremony. “Originally, we were making these huge lists of people to invite but we realized pretty quickly it didn't feel right for us,” Reaser told 'Vogue' magazine in April 2024, revealing in the interview that she had been married for several months.Chris Pizzello (Cordon Press) / Sthanlee Mirador (Cordon Press)Lea Michele rose to fame playing Rachel Berry in the series 'Glee,' created by Ryan Murphy. And it was Murphy himself who officiated the actress’s wedding to Zandy Reich, which took place in March 2019. "The intimate ceremony, officiated by Glee creator Ryan Murphy ('He knows how to hold a room!' Michele joked), was both playful and heartwarming, with 210 of the couple’s family members and closest friends — including Michele’s TV costars, 'Glee‘s' Darren Criss and Becca Tobin, and 'Scream Queens‘ Emma Roberts — at times erupting into applause," reported 'People' magazine.
