Josh Radnor announced that he and Jordana Jacobs were married with an Instagram post on January 19, 2024. In the post, he revealed that they tied the knot "two weeks ago." The actor revealed that their wedding ceremony took place at Cedar Lakes Estate in Hudson Valley, New York, during a "light blizzard," which only made it more magical. Sharing the pictures of their special day, he penned:

"It was an incredible, overwhelming, snowy, bliss-filled weekend. So grateful to so many people I love for making the trip to @thesistersofcedarlakes to be with us. To @forgedinthenorth for the extraordinary pictures. To @samspector for the extraordinary suits. But most of all to Jordana. I can't believe my great good fortune that I get to call this extraordinary woman my wife."

While the couple found solace in each other, they also share a massive age gap. For the unversed, while Josh is 52 years old, Jordana Jacobs is reportedly around 37 to 38 years old, making her roughly 13 years younger than the actor. Nonetheless, their age gap didn't stop the couple from building a happy life, and they expanded it by welcoming their first child in late 2025 or early 2026. Josh shared the news of their baby's arrival, saying Jordana had given birth to their first baby, a boy, "a few months ago." He wrote:

"Here's what we know so far: His smile lights up the room. He's super observant and thoughtful. He gets hypnotized when I play him songs on the guitar. He thinks the word 'baba ghanoush' is hysterical. He's a total delight, and Jordana and I are thrilled he's here."
