In her Instagram announcement on 12 October, the Oscar-winning actress expressed her joy, posting, “This happened!!! We love love love you,” accompanied by a video of the couple as they walked down the aisle, showered in flower petals. The couple, both aged 28, had been dating since February 2017 after being introduced through Moore herself, who played a crucial role in their romantic journey.
The connection between Caleb and Kibriyaá began in 2013 when Moore met Morgan while she was visiting the Chapin School, considering a transfer for her daughter, Liv Helen. Impressed by Morgan’s charm, Moore returned home and recounted, “I chatted to this girl Ki, she was so great. She was so cool.” Three years later, when she discovered that both Morgan and Caleb were attending Davidson College, she encouraged her son to reach out to her.
After their initial introduction in college, Caleb and Kibriyaá became close friends, though they were both in relationships at the time. Their bond blossomed into romance during winter break of their freshman year, with Moore observing their growing chemistry, even teasing Kibriyaá about her then-boyfriend. By February 2017, the two officially began dating.
The couple moved in together in August 2020, settling into a studio apartment in New York’s West Village. Their relationship continued to deepen, culminating in an engagement in August 2024, which Moore announced on social media, showcasing Kibriyaá’s stunning diamond ring. The family’s excitement was palpable, with Moore’s heartfelt message celebrating the couple’s commitment.
At the wedding, Moore had the honour of walking her son down the aisle alongside her husband, Bart Freundlich. In her moving speech, she reflected on Caleb and Kibriyaá’s journey together, highlighting the ups and downs they navigated as a couple, from college life to their first home together. “They’ve forged their partnership as teenagers and grown up together. I marvel at their commitment, and I celebrate their love,” she proclaimed.
The reception featured an emotional moment between mother and son as they danced to George Harrison’s “Give Me Love,” marking the occasion with cherished family memories. Kibriyaá, in a subsequent Instagram post, could hardly contain her joy, stating, “Couldn’t be happier. Love my people. Love my husbanddddd. Best weekend of all time and I’ll cherish it forever and ever ❤️.”
Caleb, brimming with newfound happiness, echoed his affection in the comments, exclaiming, “MY WIFE MY WIFE MY WIFE,” to which Moore simply responded with heart emojis. The couple’s love story resonates as an inspiring journey that began years ago, with the support of family, culminating in a celebration of their lifelong commitment to one another.
As they embark on this new chapter together, Caleb and Kibriyaá’s relationship serves as a beautiful testament to the power of love, friendship, and family bonds, a narrative that will undoubtedly continue to unfold in the years to come.
