Chloë Grace Moretz opens up about the joy and balance her wedding brought amid challenging film roles

Chloë Grace Moretz has always walked with an unspoken authority in her roles, inhabiting characters trapped in darkness or in emotional baggage. Recently, however, she's been absorbing a deeply individualized new stage in her life which she describes as being earthy and exhilarating. While filming The Edge of Normal, preparing for the emotionally demanding Off-Broadway play Caroline, and marrying her longtime girlfriend Kate Harrison, Moretz discovered something she hadn't known in a while: balance.

Her Labor Day weekend wedding was that tipping point moment. It was a shift from dramatic roles and heightened stakes, where it could all come together in love, friendship, and fashion. She has spoken about the collision of "dark characters" and "monumental moments" in her life having made compartmentalization necessary, something needed within her own mind space.

Why Chloë Grace Moretz's Wedding Went Viral

Chloë Grace Moretz and Kate have also been dating since 2018 but kept things extremely private in a way that when they eventually went ahead to confirm their engagement (on January 1, 2025) and wedding, it was like people were being informed for the very first time. Their own wedding wasn't a lovesick lovey-dovey cover shoot; it was all apparently thought through to represent them as a celebrity power couple, and as two individuals who are in love.

The fashion is a big reason why the story resonated so strongly. Chloë Grace Moretz worked with Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière on a non-traditional wedding gown: one in powder blue with veil, opera gloves, and matching detail. Kate Harrison's outfit was also full of love a bustier and skirt and sweetheart neckline and flowing embroidery. Above all, they had no idea what the other would wear until the wedding, which made it so much more emotional.

Other than imagery, what really caught people's attention was the way the wedding linked to what Moretz is doing professionally. When she did challenging roles, preparing to be Caroline, and shooting a thriller, Moretz classified her wedding as "dreamy" downtime as a reminder that life is not over because the roles are challenging. And those tiny little personal touches like horseback riding, poker. Line dancing. Custom-made rings crafted from Victorian diamonds. The retro Paris fittings. All of these created the picture of two people doing something personal. Finally, Chloë Grace Moretz's wedding was recalled not because it was lovely, but because it was so intimate to Kate and to her.

It showed that in the midst of so much grind, one could pause, choose love, incline towards joy, and continue on as individual and as maker. And maybe that is the reason that so many people were moved: because her wedding was not merely a news item, but a reminder that the harder parts of life make the sweeter moments sweeter.
