Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, known for their roles as Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts on the hit TV show “The O.C.,” had a real-life romance that began in 2003. The pair dated for three years before calling it quits in 2006. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, they have managed to maintain a friendship over the years.
In interviews and public appearances, both Bilson and Brody have spoken fondly of each other and have even teased their friendship. They often reminisce about their time on “The O.C.” and the bond they formed while working together. It’s clear that they have a mutual respect and admiration for each other.
While they may not be as close as they once were, their friendship has endured. In 2017, Bilson posted a throwback photo of herself and Brody on Instagram with the caption, “I guess the boy’s still got it.” This playful interaction between them shows that they still have a lighthearted and friendly dynamic.
Another example of their friendship is when Bilson appeared on Brody’s TV show “StartUp” in 2017. She made a guest appearance in an episode, showcasing their continued support for each other’s careers.
Furthermore, they have also been spotted together at events and have been seen hanging out with mutual friends. This suggests that they still enjoy each other’s company and have remained a part of each other’s lives, even if it’s not in the same capacity as before.
It’s worth noting that Bilson and Brody have two children together, which undoubtedly adds another layer of connection and shared experiences. They welcomed their daughter Arlo in 2014 and, more recently, a son in 2020. Co-parenting their children may have also played a role in maintaining their friendship and keeping lines of communication open.
While their romantic relationship may have ended more than a decade ago, Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson have managed to cultivate a friendship that has stood the test of time. Their playful interactions, public support for each other, and shared experiences as parents demonstrate that they have remained friends despite the passage of time.
