Adam Brody proved chivalry isn’t dead during a sweet moment with his wife, Leighton Meester, on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday.

In a TikTok video shared by the French magazine Gala, the two actors can be seen approaching photographers on the carpet when the “Gossip Girl” alum suddenly stops and stands to the side as her husband takes his mark to pose solo. The move could be interpreted as a supportive one being that it was technically Brody’s night; he was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy, for his role in Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This.”

But the “O.C.” alum wanted to share the moment with Meester and gestured for her to join him. She then trotted over, wrapped her arm around Brody and stroked his back affectionately. After a couple of photos were snapped of the pair, Meester went off to the side again to let her husband have his moment.

When the clip made its way to X, formerly called Twitter, fans of the couple were completely smitten.

Brody and Meester tied the knot in 2014 after meeting on the set of the movie “The Oranges” in 2011. Since then, the pair has welcomed two children: daughter Arlo, 9, and a son, 4, whose name has not yet been shared publicly.

Although the couple is relatively private, Brody did open up on “Today” in September about how he and Meester make their marriage work.

“Pick someone good,” the actor said of his wife. “Be lucky and be in love with someone who’s great and then just kind of listen to them.”

He continued, “If you’re with someone great, you’re on third base. Not that it doesn’t take sacrifice and humility, and you have to grow together, and you have to be willing to grow, because you’re not going to be able to stay 100% right where you are. But if you’re with someone wonderful, I think you’re on third [base].”
