Montana Jordan's art continues to meet reality as he recently tied the knot to his longtime partner, Jenna Weeks.
The entertainer who reprised his role as Georgie Cooper in the "" spin-off "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" is officially married, like his famous character. However, the actor has no plans on getting in trouble with his wife like his troublesome on-screen personality.
Montana Jordan and Jenna Weeks' union comes a year after they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Emma Rae Jordan. Parenthood was another life imitating art moment for the TV personality whose character is also a father to a daughter on the sitcom series.
Jordan and Weeks recently raved about their nuptials in a candid interview, revealing they tied the knot in a "classic cowboy" themed wedding on Saturday, June 21. The ceremony took place at Dove Hollow Estate in their hometown state, Texas.
The actor left his wife in charge of the planning to ensure everything went exactly as she had always wanted her big day to be. Weeks described the journey as a "dream come true," noting she ensured her husband's wishes were included in the planning. In her words:
"We wanted something that said country but elegant."
The couple, whose love has been growing for four years, told PEOPLE they wanted a "simple" but "perfect" ceremony where they could receive the blessings of their loved ones. "Family is really important to us, and being surrounded by them fills our cup," Weeks explained.
While raving about their wedding ceremony, Jordan and Weeks revealed they had exchanged handwritten vows privately before their hometown pastor, Tony Pierce, officiated their union. The bride claimed she felt "like a real-life princess" wearing a stunning dress designed by Valentino.
She opted for a shorter dress during the reception to "dance all night" while Jordan changed into another cowboy-inspired outfit. He first flaunted his Southern charm during his wedding ceremony, rocking a black suit over a white shirt with a matching white cowboy hat and a black bow tie.
As for why they decided to tie the knot after four years together and a daughter, Jordan described marriage as being with "a best friend for life." He claimed Weeks was the only one for him until death and even joked about finding her in heaven to continue their love story.
The romance between Jordan and Weeks started while they were high school seniors in 2021. Although the couple has kept numerous details about their relationship private, the actor's wife first went public with their love that year by sharing posts about them.
Like Jordan's onscreen romance with actress Emily Osment in "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage," he and Weeks hailed from Texas. However, unlike her husband's TV wife, Weeks's life in Longview differed. Pictures from her Instagram account painted her to be the social and cheerful type.
Weeks was a cheerleader in high school and part of her school's homecoming court. She made her red carpet debut with Jordan at the 2024 Country Music Awards with her baby bump before welcoming their daughter Emma two months later in May 2024.
The doting couple announced the girl's birth with heartwarming posts on social media.
Jordan popped the big question to Weeks early this year in January, sharing pictures from the sweet moment with fans on Instagram. The post captured the actor kneeling before the words "Marry Me?"
If fans could not feel his love for Weeks radiating through the pictures, Jordan ensured his followers knew how he felt in the caption. He penned a touching message to his lover, describing her as the "light" of his life and the woman he loved the most.
Jordan doubled down on his feelings for Weeks in an interview, noting he would not take any advice from his onscreen character regarding marriage. "None, because he's always in trouble. He's always in trouble with the wife, and I don't like to be in trouble," he declared.
As stated, Jordan and his wife hail from Longview, Texas, with the actor having no professional acting experience or training before rising to fame. Instead, his authentic Southern childhood enabled him to impress showrunners in October 2015 when he landed his first gig.
The entertainer starred as Jaden in the Jody Hill-directed film "The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter" after being selected from among 10,000 applicants. This role paved the road to his unforgettable performance as Sheldon Cooper's older brother, George "Georgie" Cooper Jr., in "Young Sheldon."
The series lasted from 2017 to 2024, with Jordan's skills earning him a nomination for Best Performance in a TV Series – Supporting Teen Actor at the 39th Young Artist Awards. Additionally, fans loved him so much that he landed the lead role in the show's spin-off, which followed his married life.
Here's to hoping Montana Jordan and Jenna Weeks have a blissful married life.
