Adam Brody, known for his roles in 'The O.C.' and 'Ready or Not,' delivered a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Leighton Meester, while accepting his first-ever Critics Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in 'Nobody Wants This.'
Brody, who won the award over fellow nominees Steve Martin and Martin Short from 'Only Murders in the Building,' took to the stage and expressed his gratitude to his wife and family. "My darling, darling wife. Thank you. Thank you for sharing this life with me and this journey with me. Thank you for our family. Love you with all my heart. Thank you so much," he said, visibly emotional.
The couple, who have been married for 11 years and share two children, recently faced a devastating loss when their Pacific Palisades home was destroyed by the LA wildfires. While Brody did not directly mention the tragedy in his speech, his heartfelt words resonated with the audience, who witnessed Meester holding back tears in the audience.
Brody's win comes at a time of personal hardship for the couple, but his acceptance speech served as a testament to their enduring love and strength.
