Josh Brolin and his wife, Kathryn Boyd Brolin, have said “I do” all over again, renewing their wedding vows at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. The couple shared the news on Instagram on Saturday, November 7, a few weeks after marking their 10th wedding anniversary.
What We Know
The Dune and Avengers actor, 58, and Kathryn, 39, celebrated with a small group of friends and family at the famous Las Vegas Strip chapel, according to Parade and Hello! magazine. In true Vegas fashion, an Elvis Presley impersonator was part of the ceremony; Hello! reports that the impersonator officiated.
The couple’s two young daughters were among the guests, Hello! reported. Photos posted from the day showed Brolin in an unbuttoned black shirt and dark jeans, while Kathryn wore a white minidress with a sheer overlay and burgundy cowboy boots.
The celebration was captioned “Vegas, Vows and Metallicaaaaa baby,” a nod to the heavy metal band’s Las Vegas residency, which suggests the weekend doubled as a concert trip. Neither Parade nor Hello! gave the exact date of the ceremony itself.
Background
Brolin and Kathryn Boyd first married on September 24, 2016, in North Carolina. They met roughly three years earlier, when Kathryn was working as Brolin’s assistant, according to Hello!.
The vow renewal is a sequel to the anniversary messages the pair shared in September. In his tribute at the time, Brolin wrote that “growing up all I wanted was to find a playmate,” and signed off with “My romping partner — till death do us part,” according to Parade. Kathryn’s own post noted the “four kids between us,” a reference to the couple’s two daughters and Brolin’s two adult children, Trevor and Eden, from his first marriage to actress Alice Adair.
It is Brolin’s third marriage. Before Kathryn, he was married to Adair and later to Oscar-nominated actress Diane Lane. He has a habit of marking his anniversaries with Kathryn with long, poetic Instagram tributes.
On screen, Brolin’s career spans more than four decades, from his debut as Brand Walsh in The Goonies (1985) to No Country for Old Men, Milk, which earned him an Oscar nomination, and his turn as Thanos in the Marvel films. More recently he has played Gurney Halleck in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films alongside Timothée Chalamet, Jason Momoa and Austin Butler, who himself played the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Elvis.
Why Las Vegas?
The Little White Wedding Chapel is one of the most recognizable spots on the Strip and has hosted a long list of celebrity weddings over the decades. Elvis-themed ceremonies are one of its signature offerings, which made it a natural fit for a light-hearted renewal rather than a formal second wedding.
For the Brolins, the tone matched how they tend to talk about their marriage in public: affectionate, a little irreverent and full of in-jokes. Pairing the ceremony with a Metallica show only added to that.
What’s Next
Brolin is expected to return as Gurney Halleck in Dune: Part Three, Villeneuve’s adaptation of Dune Messiah, set for release in December. The actor has said in interviews that his part in the final chapter is smaller than in the first two films, as reported by outlets including ComicBook.com and Winter Is Coming.
As for the couple, there has been no word of any further celebration. For now, the Vegas photos are doing the talking.
