Georgina Chapman's Second Chance at Love

Bouncing back after a breakup can be tricky. After a bad breakup? It can feel nearly impossible.

Georgina Chapman, with a history of difficult breakups, was taken aback when allegations of sexual misconduct against her then-spouse, Harvey Weinstein, surfaced in October 2017. Despite possibly being aware of his questionable behavior earlier on, she had expressed that she was still shocked by the claims made by numerous women accusing him of harassment, assault, and rape.

In her interview with Vogue in 2018, she admitted a part of herself was incredibly innocent, almost painfully so. She confessed to having instances of anger, bewilderment, and shock.

By the time Weinstein was convicted of rape in the third degree and criminal sexual act in the first degree in his New York City trial in February 2020, out of the five charges brought against him, she could only feel a sense of sadness. (The New York Court of Appeals overturned the conviction in April 2021, ordering a new trial.)

A source shared with TopMob News that she is deeply sorrowful, continuing to mourn for everyone affected. The wound of that tragedy remains everlasting.

Time may not be enough to heal her particular set of wounds, but perhaps love can help?

In late 2019, Adrien Brody was romantically linked to the British fashion designer, who co-founded the popular Marchesa brand. This 48-year-old designer has been accompanying Brody as he wins trophy after trophy for his portrayal of a post-World War II refugee in the 2019 epic drama film titled “The Brutalist.

To my splendid and extraordinary partner Georgina, your selfless nature, your unyielding strength, and your vast creativity are constant inspirations in how to live life. I wouldn’t be standing here receiving this award today without your support. – The actor expressed this on January 5 as he accepted his Golden Globe.

At both the Critics Choice Awards on February 7th and the BAFTA Film Awards nine days afterward, I couldn’t help but shout out to my radiant other half, inviting her to share the spotlight with me.

If a former cast member of “Succession” wins the Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 2025 Oscars, where he’s also nominated alongside Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan, his number one supporter will undoubtedly be joining the crowd in applause.

On Instagram, Chapman expressed how fantastic the evening was. He also congratulated his dear Adrien for winning, and shared that he couldn’t be any prouder.

Or:

Chapman posted on Instagram that the night was simply wonderful. He also praised his beloved Adrien for earning a well-deserved award, feeling nothing but pride.

Over half a decade since their reunion at a business event, it appears that the pair have found the ideal blend for a romantic relationship.

Brody and Chapman have a shared enthusiasm for professions that led one to win an Oscar (the first being in 2002 for “The Pianist”) and the other to receive accolades from the British Fashion Awards and CFDA, along with a mutual admiration for each other’s determination—and remarkably, they both celebrate their birthday on April 14.

Last year, Chapman penned a heartfelt message on someone’s birthday who shares the same zodiac sign as hers, saying, “Wishing you a wonderful birthday! It’s such a joy to celebrate this special day with my dearest friend and fellow Aries.

Happier, still, to have someone worthy of her birthday wishes.

After the shocking disclosures regarding Weinstein, Chapman from London decided to abstain from dating, finding it uncomfortable even to be seen in public. The man she once described as “incredibly charming and charismatic” to Vogue, had a magnetic appeal that drew her in, but now seemed out of place.

She shared that she felt deeply embarrassed and shattered, leading her to question the appropriateness of public appearances during a challenging time. In an interview for Vogue’s June 2018 issue, she explained her seclusion over the past five months, moving between Los Angeles, London with her parents, and eventually New York City. She felt that given the emotional turmoil she was experiencing, it didn’t seem right to be out and about flaunting herself when things were still so raw and painful. A simple reminder of these feelings could leave her breathless, as if all the air had been knocked out of her lungs.

At first, she was hesitant to engage with people beyond a close-knit group that consists of her longtime friend, actor David Oyelowo, and Huma Abedin, the political staffer who went through a highly scrutinized public breakup with former congressman Anthony Weiner.

Initially, the suggestion of seeing a therapist left her in a state of shock, and there was a sense of self-doubt that she didn’t deserve such help. But then she understood: “This event occurred in my life”. I need to acknowledge it. I must take steps to move forward.

She started accepting the feelings of guilt, anger, and profound sadness she had over what children aged 14 (India) and 11 (Dashiell) could possibly endure. “What will people tell them?” she pondered to Vogue. “It’s like, they adore their father. They love him dearly.

And through it all she allowed friends to force her out of her West Village townhouse.

It was during a similar outing that she rekindled her connection with Brody. In the tight-knit Hollywood community, as often happens, they had interacted socially before, according to Page Six. However, being at the same location – Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico for Helena Christensen’s swimwear launch in April 2019, and even seated at the same table – sparked something between them.

As a lifestyle expert, allow me to share an insightful tale: Soon after me, someone who had collaborated with Weinstein’s now-defunct production company on the 2006 film “Hollywoodland,” I found myself part of a compassionate group rallying around Chapman during her most difficult period.

Following the exposure of Weinstein’s scandal, longtime friend and collaborator Keren Craig took over leadership at Marchesa headquarters in New York. In these early months, she worked to stabilize the brand they had co-founded in 2004 after meeting as students at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, providing a steadying hand during this period of change.

As a devoted friend, my primary concern in 2018, when I spoke with Vogue, was Georgina’s well-being. Secondly, being aware of the immense talent and loyalty within our team, many of whom have been with us for over a decade, my immediate worry was to ensure the office functions smoothly and the collections are released on time. This would enable everyone to be paid and meet their financial obligations, including rent payments.

While Oyelowo, a companion Chapman met on their journey to a drama school audition, managed matters related to his personal life.

He explained to Vogue that he essentially stepped into a role as a first responder by hosting her at his home. “My wife and I found ourselves directly involved, along with her two children, as a global catastrophe unfolded in real time,” he said. “It was a situation that embodied every parent’s worst fears for their children’s future, their business, and their marriage. And none of this was our own doing, yet we were all unfairly caught up in it.

For him, it was challenging to comprehend that she chose not to defend herself in such a situation, as there was an excessive amount of noise and hostility directed towards her. Essentially, she felt it was inappropriate for her to speak up and acknowledge her own struggles amidst all the negativity.

Beyond that, the designer herself clarified to the magazine, she was not seeking pity. “I do not wish to be perceived as a victim,” she explained, “as I do not consider myself one. I am a woman facing difficult circumstances, but those circumstances are not exceptional.

Many years have passed since the controversial incident, and she now finds herself in a rather ordinary predicament: A woman deeply in love.

2022 found me, along with my beloved Brody, gracing numerous red carpets. We dazzled at the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscars gathering in March, and on the very first day of May, we ascended the steps of the Met Gala together. What a dream come true!

In the realm of fashion and lifestyle, I found myself gracing the legendary Met steps once more last May, a month that marked Rihanna’s triumphant return to the platform we all know as Instagram, having shared her presence there for the very first time since 2017.

A week ago, on the same date as tonight, she posted a picture showcasing her Marchesa attire and Brody’s cool, platinum hair.

Despite attending fashion’s grand event at New York City’s JW Marriott Essex House, they usually live on their farm in upstate New York, where they coexist with a variety of pets such as a dog, four cats, and miniature donkeys. This was recently shared by him with People magazine.

When he’s not working on set or performing live in his hometown of London, where he had a successful two-month stint in the play “The Fear of 13” last autumn, he likes to spend his time either in the recording studio or the painting studio. He also enjoys going on hikes and spending time with animals, as he finds it quite unique.

So is the woman who’s usually by his side.

He expressed his deep gratitude for having a companion who possesses kindness, intelligence, and wisdom, as he shared with People magazine. Such qualities truly make a significant impact on him.

As does a healthy dose of perspective.

He pointed out that even if someone leads a very fortunate life, they could still feel deeply unhappy and miserable. However, a fleeting moment of happiness or an inspiring experience can leave such a profound impact that it can be drawn upon to find joy and inspiration in numerous other aspects of their lives.

Brody put it simply, “You can’t help but gain a unique viewpoint when you’ve lived through and seen so much. And I’m particularly thankful for that experience.
