Inside Georgina Chapman and Ex Harvey Weinstein’s Mysterious Marriage

by

Hindsight is X-ray vision when it comes to Harvey Weinstein.

Eight years prior, he was a liberated individual and graced the 2017 Oscars with his second spouse, Georgina Chapman. The film “Lion,” produced by The Weinstein Company, was a strong contender for Best Picture, but it ultimately fell to “Moonlight” (and momentarily to “La La Land”).

In just under eight months, the longstanding relationship between the couple, which resulted in their daughter India Pearl and son Dashiell, crumbled following a series of sexual misconduct accusations against Weinstein. The allegations ultimately led to the dissolution of their union.

In a statement made on October 10, 2017, Chapman expressed deep empathy towards all women enduring intense suffering due to such intolerable acts. He announced his decision to part ways with his spouse, prioritizing the care of their young children. At present, he kindly requests the media to respect their privacy during this challenging period. Their divorce was officially completed in 2021.

During Chapman’s lengthy Best Actor acceptance speech at the 2025 Oscards, Adrien Brody thankfully acknowledged India and Dash for welcoming him into their family. When he referred to the journey as a “roller coaster,” it was no empty hyperbole.

As more details emerged about Harvey Weinstein’s alleged misconduct, sparked initially by explosive articles in The New York Times and The New Yorker, Ashley Judd stated to the Times, “Women have been discussing Harvey among ourselves for a while now,” and it’s high time we talk about this publicly.” In response, Chapman withdrew from public view with her children.

For several months, the co-founder of Marchesa remained uninvolved. However, she eventually spoke up about the situation in the June 2018 edition of Vogue magazine.

In her Editor’s Letter, longtime pal Anna Wintour wrote that she visited Georgina shortly after the news became public. At that time, Georgina was mostly speechless, struggling to cope with a mix of emotions – anger, guilt, disgust, fear – and also trying to comprehend the devastating impact this situation would have on humanity as a whole.

According to Chapman’s statement, he felt so embarrassed and shattered that he didn’t believe it would be appropriate or respectful for him to go out at the time.

However, as time went by, she began exploring beyond the confines of her six-story townhouse in the West Village, accompanied by a select group of friends. Notably, during Helena Christensen’s swimwear launch event at Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico in April 2019, she met Brody, someone she had previously encountered in the Hollywood scene she frequented with Weinstein.

Despite frequently appearing together on the red carpet, Chapman and Weinstein generally kept their relationship private, dividing their time among New York, Connecticut, and Los Angeles while keeping their children largely out of the public eye, save for occasional glimpses on Chapman’s Instagram.

In the year 2004, Weinstein began a relationship with Chapman, coinciding with her venture into business alongside partner Keren Craig as they established Marchesa. This wasn’t long after his separation from his first wife, Eve Chilton, who was also his former assistant, following 17 years of marriage. They share three daughters together.

He met the English designer when he approached her at a party in New York.

In an interview with Vogue, Chapman stated on January 22, 2013, that he was completely unaware of the individual’s identity. This is not someone you can simply dismiss or overlook. He possesses such captivating charm and charisma that it effortlessly draws you in.

Years later, Weinstein playfully commented on the unusual pairing, noting that Chapman, who transitioned from modeling to fashion, was 24 years his junior and undeniably more attractive in photographs.

In 2013, Weinstein recounted to CBS News that on our first date, my wife stumbled and fell on her bottom at the restaurant. I exclaimed, “There is a God!” because it immediately leveled the playing field for us. Secondly, I compared the situation to when Myrna Loy walked into William Powell in the movie ‘The Thin Man’. I said, “Georgina, meet Dashiell Hammett,” and she later read his book, ‘The Thin Man’.

Hence the inspiration for their son’s name.

To begin with, I was part of a courtship that spanned several years. This pair became a staple in both New York and Los Angeles high society, gracing every significant fashion and cinema event. Not long after, Marchesa, a brand headquartered in New York with British roots, quickly rose to prominence, becoming a preferred choice for red carpet appearances among celebrities.

In response to rumors suggesting he was manipulating Hollywood connections to launch Marchesa, Weinstein told the New York Times in 2007, “Those who make such claims are merely envious. Their remarks detract from the undeniable talent Marchesa has demonstrated.

It appears he did contribute to some extent, but only minimally, regarding Renée Zellweger, Weinstein said in an interview with Vogue. Zellweger, who had just won an Oscar for her role in the Miramax film Cold Mountain, wore Marchesa to the premiere of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 2004. Later that year, Cate Blanchett chose Marchesa for the premiere of The Aviator (also produced by Mirax).

Looking back, it was commonly believed that her achievements depended on the man she was associated with. Chapman responded by saying, “It’s just like being in school when someone makes a comment about you. Your life is always full of such incidents.

Back in 2013, I jokingly shared with The Times of the U.K., “Take a look at his style! He’s not even close to being trusted with this brand of mine.

Since 2012, Chapman embarked on her tenure as a judge for Project Runway: All Stars, and during this time, her brand expanded to encompass Notte by Marchesa, the contemporary line Marchesa Voyage, handbags, perfumes, fine jewelry and engagement rings, stationery, and home decor items. (Craig parted ways with Marchesa in 2019.)

Chapman and Weinstein exchanged vows on Dec. 15, 2007, a month following their engagement, at his waterfront mansion in Westport, Connecticut. The grand event was attended by a stellar gathering of celebrities, featuring the likes of Zellweger, Wintour, Christensen, Jennifer Lopez and her then-spouse Marc Anthony, Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz, Quentin Tarantino, Karolina Kurkova, and Rupert Murdoch.

At her own discretion, Chapman opted for a custom-made wedding dress, while the bride graced the occasion with Marchesa attire. The evening’s feast was expertly prepared by both Nobu and Cipriani. Instead of traditional gifts, the newlyweds requested charitable donations from their guests. To cap off the celebration, a dazzling fireworks display, originating from a barge on Long Island Sound, added an exclamation point to the festivities.

Instead of her husband, she is remarkably kind-hearted, Weinstein shared with Vogue about Chapman. You will find this believable, I assure you. Occasionally, people fail to associate those who appear a certain way with empathy and kindness, but that’s who she truly is above everyone else.

Daughter India was born on Aug. 30, 2010, and would soon become her mom’s favorite companion.

In December 2012, Chapman assured People that he sets aside time for his daughter. He emphasized that his family stands as his top priority.

She went on to say, “India often accompanies me to the office; she has a small workspace with a desk where she draws. Since I stay later in the mornings and spend those hours with her, I do get to see her quite frequently. However, I’m not sure how our work routine will adjust once she starts school—I anticipate it will be difficult as I’ll miss her a lot.

In the year 2013, Weinstein shared with CBS News his joy at the arrival of his son, Dashiell, as his elder daughters had grown past his interests.

While driving to the mall, he explained that they had said something along the lines of: “Dad, let’s park three miles away so people won’t see us with you. We’ll meet at the pizza place four miles over because we’re a bit ashamed of you and find you a bit annoying.

Weinstein and Chapman, who is also a judge on ‘Project Runway: All Stars’, playfully mentioned that they frequently attended red carpet events as their only available date nights due to hectic schedules. A 2013 Vogue article highlighted that when Weinstein had late work commitments, he would visit their West Village home for a few hours before returning to his office in Tribeca. Whenever possible, they traveled with their children and it seemed like they were constantly jet-setting.

In 2013, their combined family, which includes Weinstein’s three children from his first marriage, vacationed at a villa in Baker’s Bay, Bahamas for the holidays. The following year, they shared with Vogue that they had plans for a large holiday in London, followed by a New Year’s trip skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland.

2015 saw an investigation into my actions, and following this examination, I was found to be free from charges after a young model claimed I had inappropriately touched her in my office at the Tribeca Film Center, New York. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office stated in April that, upon reviewing all available evidence, including interviews with both parties, they could not find sufficient grounds to press criminal charges against me.

During the time when authorities were investigating the model’s allegation, Weinstein and Chapman were seen together on their Connecticut property.

A couple of days prior to the public disclosure of the allegations in March 2015, she was inquired by Fashionista about what plans were underway for Charles James, the dormant fashion house that Weinstein had acquired rights to, and where his wife was rumored to be providing consultancy.

She responded, “He owns the brand, but I haven’t heard any definite plans for what they’ll do with it yet. You should ask him directly; I’m not aware of his specific intentions.

A year on, Chapman produced a painting that depicted an almost ordinary-seeming home life (though we should note this was for the wealthy and well-known individuals).

She shared with Haute Living in August 2016 that during their time in New York, she and Weinstein aimed to limit their nights away from home to a maximum of two per week. On these occasions, they would often watch three or four movies over the weekend. During regular weekdays, she stated, she would take the kids to school, engage in exercise, spend her day at her studio or working elsewhere, and return home for dinner, playtime, and putting India and Dashiell to bed.

“We hang out,” she said.

Later on, Chapman preferred to relax with a glass of wine and catch up on some quality TV shows, specifically “Peaky Blinders,” which was waiting for her on Netflix. (Coincidentally, Brody had a guest role in six episodes of the historical drama series in 2017.)

Weekends spent with family in Connecticut or Amagansett were perfect according to Chapman, as they involved simply spending time with children and spouse, taking leisurely strolls along the beach together with the pets.

In 2017, the couple put up for sale their Amagansett house, a purchase made in 2014 for $11.65 million. Throughout the summer, they reduced the asking price from an initial $13.5 million to $12.4 million. This luxurious mansion, spanning 9,000 square feet with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, was proving difficult for Weinstein and his partner to visit as frequently as desired due to their busy schedules, as he shared with the Wall Street Journal.

Consequently, idyllic vacations were no longer a part of Weinstein’s and Chapman’s future plans. That October, Weinstein was shunned from society and has remained so. He pleaded not guilty to all criminal charges but was convicted in 2020 of third-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act in New York, receiving a 23-year prison sentence (however, an appellate court overturned the verdict in 2024, leaving him awaiting a retrial from Rikers Island jail). Furthermore, he was found guilty of rape, forced oral copulation, and third-degree sexual misconduct in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to 16 years in prison, which he will serve once his New York case is resolved.

In response to Brody’s heartfelt comments about Weinstein and Chapman’s children at the Oscars, a representative for the disgraced producer (who was expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on October 14, 2017) told Us Weekly that “Harvey is delighted for Georgina and grateful that his children are being shown affection and care, as they truly deserve.

Brody, in giving the longest-ever acceptance speech in Oscars history, also thanked Chapman.

He stated that he shares this experience with his incredible partner, Georgina, who not just boosted his personal self-esteem but also enriched his understanding of his own worth and instilled in him strong values.

During the 2025 Oscars, Brody was involved in some unforgettable instances that weren’t caught on camera. Discover the hidden highlights that were off-screen.

Twenty-two years have passed since Adrien Brody famously acknowledged Halle Berry during his first Best Actor win for “The Pianist.” This time, he was once again a nominee for “The Brutalist,” and she was ready for the occasion.

It’s undeniable that Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been significantly impacted following their roles in the musical Wicked. At the 2025 Oscars, they kicked off the event with a medley of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz, “Home” from The Wiz, and their own film’s hit song, “Defying Gravity.

Molly, it seems like you’re in a tricky situation! Former co-stars from the movie Ghost gracefully walked the red carpet together at the 2025 Academy Awards.

As an overly enthusiastic fan, I couldn’t help but feel the thrill when host Conan O’Brien graciously bestowed gifts upon both the celestial bodies illuminating the stage and the indispensable attendees who stepped in as seat fillers whenever the A-listers took a brief leave. What a night to remember!

2025 Oscars attendees might find Timothée Chalamet’s date familiar, as he openly attended with Kylie Jenner, unlike some other young actors who keep their relationships private.

Nominated for Best Actor, Colman Domingo electrified viewers in “Sing Sing” and ignited a dance craze during a television commercial interlude, inviting the audience to continue dancing.

In his Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech, Kieran Culkin, the star of “A Real Pain,” savored the recognition from presenter Robert Downey Jr. He cherished spending time with the previous year’s winner in the backstage moments that followed.

Demi Moore, who earned her initial Oscar nod for the movie “The Substance,” enjoyed sharing the spotlight earlier that night with seasoned actress Meg Ryan.

Unfortunately, Moore didn’t receive any awards on Oscar night, instead, it was Mikey Madison from Anora who stole the show with her surprise win for Best Actress.

In a heartwarming display, contenders for Best Actor – Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Adrien Brody, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan – demonstrated that rivalry within the same category can be filled with love.

The nominees in the Best Actor category – Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Adrien Brody, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan – showed that even competitors can share affection.

Both sentences convey the same message but with a slightly different emphasis and structure.

In a previous instance, nominee Samuel L. Jackson and Emilia Pérez, along with Selena Gomez, took turns presenting the awards for Best Documentary Short and Documentary Feature at the Oscars. They were certain to memorialize the occasion by recording it.

Emilia Pérez (acting as Zoe Saldaña) was found hanging out backstage before she was due to present the Oscar for cinematography, where she unexpectedly ran into Sterling K. Brown and Ana de Armas who were presenting the Best Live Action Short award to ‘I’m Not a Robot’.

Prior to Lisa taking the stage for her rendition of “Live and Let Die” as a tribute to the James Bond franchise, produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, she paused backstage to gather her composure.

In the awards ceremony, Margaret Qualley from “The Substance” and Elle Fanning from “A Complete Unknown” were not nominees. However, they managed to land substantial roles instead. Qualley dazzled in a surprise dance performance during the James Bond tribute segment, while Fanning assisted in presenting the award for Best Costume Design, which went to Paul Tazewell of “Wicked”.

 

As an over-the-moon fan, it’s hard not to feel a tinge of envy as I watch Ariana Grande, alongside her Wicked co-star and real-life partner Ethan Slater, seemingly having their minds blown by something extraordinary. But only Ethan, Ariana, and Kieran Culkin truly know the secret behind those captivated expressions.

The two Oscar winners and former Bond girls pose for pics together as they arrive for the ceremony.

Media icons Oprah Winfrey and Queen Latifah teamed up to pay tribute to the late, esteemed figure Quincy Jones.
