American actress Billie Lourd recently walked the aisle with her long-term beau, Austen Rydell. Lourd is known for her role as Chanel #3 in the Fox comedy series “Scream Queens.” Rydell, on his part, is an actor and producer who has appeared in movies like “NFL Gameday,” “The Mensch,” and others.

The duo got together in 2016 but split up. They came back a year later and started going out in earnest. By 2020, Lourd and Rydell were engaged and announced the news via Instagram. The couple had their first child together that year.


Lourd and Rydell just tied the knot in a ceremony in Mexico in more recent news. The wedding celebration apparently lasted the whole weekend and was conducted in a block of hotel rooms at the venue.

Via People, the “Scream Queens” star Lourd recently tied the knot with her long-term partner, Rydell. After two years of being engaged, the couple tied the knot on Saturday in Cabo Lucas, Mexico. The actress posted about the weekend-long wedding in an Instagram story on Sunday.


In the story, she said, “Billie and Austen’s wedding weekend is over, which is so sad ‘cause it was the most fun.” She then held up a trophy and added, “But I won best dressed, and I may have bribed the judges. I may have done what I needed to do to get this trophy. But I got it.”


A source told the news outlet that Bryan Lourd, Lourd’s father, purchased a block of rooms for all the wedding guests in the hotel venue. This also came with a private pool party at the venue on Friday.


Lourd And Rydell Got Engaged In 2020


The couple got engaged far back in 2020 and, three months later, had their first child, a baby boy named Kingston Fisher. Lourd and Rydell started seeing each other when they were younger in 2016 but broke things off. They reconnected in 2017 and, before long, were spotted together several times.


Their first appearance together was in October 2017, when the couple was seen kissing outside a Palm Springs hotel. Then in December, Rydell accompanied the 29-year-old and her family on a trip to Norway to commemorate her mother, Carrie Fisher’s death anniversary.


After that, the couple went on several outings, including an afternoon in the California Disneyland that Lourd documented. They celebrated Rydell’s birthday together on their trip to Japan and shared a picture of a photobooth strip where he gave Lourd an affectionate peck.


The obviously smitten couple got engaged in June 2020, and Rydell shared the news via a post on Instagram. The caption read, “She said YES!! (Actually, she said’Duhhh’) But I guess that’s even better than yes?!?”


Lourd Said Her Baby Wasn’t A ‘Quarantine Baby’


When talking about her pregnancy, Lourd wanted to let it be known that her son wasn’t part of the trendy “quarantine babies.” The actress appeared in an episode of her stepdad, Bruce SiriusXM’s “Quarantined with Bruce.”


In the interview, she revealed that her son was conceived well before the quarantine and was “technically just a Caribbean baby.” She also revealed that the pregnancy wasn’t planned and turned out to be a “blessing in disguise.”


She added, “Only my family knew, and nobody else knew like everyone was so surprised when we posted that little picture of his feet. It got to just be something I shared with the people I loved the most, which was so incredible and made my pregnancy so magical and wonderful, which I did not expect it was going to be.”


The “Booksmart” actress added that the pregnancy turned out to be the “greatest experience” for her. Lourd said she got to eat amazing meals, be with all the people she adored, and interestingly enough, play with Legos a lot. “I loved being pregnant,” she gushed.

Lourd was also very involved in a new movie production alongside the obviously hectic wedding planning. The new movie titled “Ticket to Paradise” is already filming some scenes in Queensland with Julia Roberts as part of the cast.


The flick is scheduled for release in October and is expected to be quite the hit. It will bring George Clooney back together with Roberts after their other successful movies together in the early 2000s, “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Ocean’s Twelve.”


The movie will be directed by Oliver Parker, known for his work in “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.” The plot will follow the two A-list characters as a divorced couple and their attempt to stop their daughter’s wedding and prevent her from “making the same mistake they once made.”
