MARRIED
IN 2013, TOGETHER FIVE YEARS
We watched them plan their wedding during the first season of Showtime’s THE REAL L WORD. Now, Jill and Nikki are being featured in The Hollywood Reporter’s story called “My Big Gay Hollywood Wedding.” Check out their gorgeous family!
“Holy shit!” exclaimed Jill Goldstein, 37, wiping a tear from her eye on Aug. 1 after her first kiss as a legally married couple with Nikki Weiss-Goldstein, 41. That summed up the elated mood of the couple who just moments before had received their marriage license and held a small ceremony on the front lawn of the Beverly Hills Courthouse with their rabbi and their 10-month-old son, Adler.
Weiss-Goldstein has her own talent firm, Nikki Weiss & Co., repping such directors as Paul Haggis andDavid O. Russell for commercial projects; Goldstein is a freelance writer. The West Hollywood residents, who were featured on Showtime’s The Real L Word, met when they were just 8 and 12 years old at overnight camp. “I idolized her. She was my big sister as a kid,” recalls Goldstein.
In 2008, Goldstein, struck with memories of camp while on Facebook, reached out to Weiss by e-mail. They hit it off, and Goldstein, living in San Francisco at the time, came to L.A. for a first date: drinks at the Four Seasons. “We just checked into the hotel, and the rest is history,” Weiss says, smiling, to Goldstein. In 2009 in Atlanta, Weiss proposed with a six-carat diamond ring — but not before asking Jill’s father for his daughter’s hand. Reluctant at first, he became the couple’s biggest cheerleader. They hosted a religious ceremony in Malibu a year later for family and friends. Getting their license marked the legal stamp on what they already considered three years of marriage. Says Goldstein, “I knew this day would come, that the world would catch up.”–B.K.
