In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the award-winning actress revealed that the nuptials met all of the couple’s expectations. “It was absolutely everything that they wanted, and it’s everything that we wanted for them,” said Moore, who shares 28-year-old Caleb and 24-year-old Liv Moore Freundlich with her husband, Bart Freundlich. Reflecting on the day’s significance, she remarked, “They’re on cloud nine,” highlighting the happiness of both her son and his new bride.
Describing the wedding as a beautiful occasion, Moore expressed her gratitude that the families of both the bride and groom enjoyed each other’s company. “It’s a memory that I think we’ll all really cherish,” she added, underscoring the deep connections formed during the celebrations.
Kibriyaá Morgan entered Moore’s life in 2013, prior to her meeting Caleb, while she was involved in recruiting prospective students for Chapin School, where Liv was considering transferring. According to reports from The New York Times, Moore recounted how she had met Morgan, sharing that she found her to be “so great” and “so cool”.
Three years later, when Moore discovered that both Morgan and Caleb were attending Davidson College, she encouraged her son to reach out to Morgan. This gentle nudge led to the pair dating and eventually getting engaged in 2024. When reflecting on her role in their relationship, Moore humourously acknowledged, “I mean, I won’t say no, not exactly, but yeah. I did know her before he knew her.”
Caleb and Kibriyaá celebrated their union at Brooklyn Borough Hall on 8 October, before moving the festivities to The Roundhouse in Beacon, New York, on 11 October. A joyous moment was captured by Moore on Instagram, showing her son and Morgan walking down the aisle as they were pelted with flower petals. In her post, Moore conveyed her love for the couple, writing, “This happened!!! We love love love you.”
During the wedding, Moore not only had the honour of walking Caleb down the aisle alongside her husband but also delivered a heartfelt speech reflecting on the couple’s nine-year relationship. The evening continued with a touching moment, as mother and son danced together to George Harrison’s “Give Me Love”.
Kibriyaá Morgan later shared her thoughts on the wedding in an emotional Instagram post, stating, “No words!!!!! Couldn’t be happier. Love my people. Love my husbanddddd @musicbycalebmoore best weekend of all time and I’ll cherish it forever and ever ❤️.” In a sweet response, Caleb declared in the comments, “MY WIFE MY WIFE MY WIFE,” celebrating their new life together.
The joyous occasion not only celebrated the union of Caleb and Kibriyaá but also strengthened the bonds of family and friends. It showcased the love and support of those around them, making the event all the more memorable in the eyes of the proud mother. Moore’s heartfelt reflections underscore the emotional significance of family milestones and shared happiness.
As the newlyweds embark on their journey together, the warmth of this occasion will undoubtedly linger in the hearts of both families for years to come.
