After a legendary, rock-solid 14-year romance that originally sparked in 2011 on an indie film set in Santa Monica, the stunning couple officially tied the knot in early June 2026. And honey, they didn’t just rent out a standard luxury location; they held the fairytale weekend at the groom’s childhood home, a sprawling, breathtaking billionaire’s complex in Mount Kisco, New York! The beautiful photos have officially appeared on the internet via Fashionand baby, the comment sections are in an absolute puddle of tears at the pure, intergenerational love on display!
The rainy proposal and a heartfelt tribute to Quincy Jones
To understand how deeply sentimental this union really is, look at the beautiful circular moments woven into their love story.

When Will first popped the question on a rainy evening in Manhattan last year, Kenya didn’t let the bad weather dampen her mood for a second. She beautifully remembered a piece of timeless wisdom passed down from her legendary father, Quincy Jones, who tragically passed away in late 2024. Quincy always told her: “If it rains, get wet!”– a beautiful, comforting feeling that made the rainy engagement feel completely meant to be.
To keep her father’s spirit close to her heart during the ceremony, Kenya teamed up with her good friend and celebrity stylist Jason Rembert to create a breathtaking custom drop-waist Brandon Maxwell gown. The design team beautifully stitched a piece of Quincy’s handwriting directly into the fabric of the dress, and Kenya wrapped her bridal bouquet in one of her father’s favorite personal ties as she carried a custom photo locket down the aisle! Talk about an absolute tearjerker, honey!

Inside The Billionaire Backyard Ceremony: “Everyone’s Driving!”
The Peltz family is known for throwing events at absolute production levels (who could forget Will’s sister Nicola Peltz’s huge Palm Beach wedding to Brooklyn Beckham?), but Will and Kenya wanted their weekend to feel deeply personal, warm and close. Adopting the motto from Will’s late hockey mentor Jason Pagni:“Everyone drives”– the couple turned the family home into a warm, welcoming retreat.
The couple started the weekend with an ultra-intimate, private morning conversation outside.
Kenya walked down the aisle, accompanied by her father-in-law Nelson Peltz and her uncle Richard, while Will’s iconic mother, a former fashion model Claudia Heffner Peltzsweetly walked her son down the aisle while holding his hand. The couple’s siblings and nieces made up the wedding party, and the family’s beloved black Labrador, Bandit, could even be heard barking happily in the background during the vows!

For the main, bigger ceremony the next day, Will’s billionaire father Nelson proudly served as his best man, while his mother Claudia took on the ultimate honor of being Kenya’s Matron of Honor. Will candidly told reporters that the second Kenya to walk down the aisle completely blurred the world. “I felt like I was waiting for eternity for Kenya. I wanted to see my bride. When she came out, everything faded and all I could see was her.”
The Brooklyn Beckham Connection and an NBA Watch Party!
Well honey, you know a Peltz family event wouldn’t be complete without a touch of modern pop culture crossover! The star-studded guest list included Will’s sister Nicola Peltz-Beckham and her husband Brooklyn Beckhamwho were seen dancing the night away. Nicola couldn’t contain her sheer excitement about the union and rushed to the comments sections on Instagram to gush over Kenya, “Thank you for giving me my sister… My sister from day 1! Most magical day ever!”
But honey, the fun didn’t stop at high fashion and sentimental tears! Since Will and Kenya describe themselves as a relaxed couple who “comes over for dinner,” they made sure their reception had some serious flavor. Since neither of them are professional dancers, they asked the band to cut their first dance to Etta James down to just 30 seconds, because they “Go all out!” Even wilder? The groom had secretly installed a huge flat-screen TV in the luxury cocktail tent so that guests wouldn’t miss a second of the show. New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Championship Game! At one point in the evening, the entire high-society wedding guest list stood together in their couture gowns and custom NB44 tuxedos, screaming at the screen to witness a historic Knicks victory!
From first kisses on the Santa Monica Pier to a billionaire’s reception at a backyard sports bar, Will and Kenya proved that true, long-lasting Hollywood love is entirely possible. Media Take Out sends the absolute biggest congratulations to the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Peltz as they embark on their ultimate, eternal journey together.
