Julianne Moore says her son Caleb Moore Freundlich and his wife, Kibriyaá Morgan, are “on cloud nine” more than a month after their wedding. The actress shared the update in a new interview with PEOPLE.

The 65-year-old said both families enjoyed spending the weekend together. “It was absolutely everything that they wanted, and it’s everything that we wanted for them,” she said.

Caleb, 28, is Moore’s older child with filmmaker Bart Freundlich. They also share daughter Liv, 24, who joined her parents and brother for family photographs during the celebration.

During a November 9 appearance on TODAY, Moore recalled walking Caleb down the aisle alongside his father. She called the experience of seeing their firstborn enter marriage “such a joy.”

Caleb and Morgan legally married at Brooklyn Borough Hall on October 8. Their larger ceremony and reception took place three days later at The Roundhouse in Beacon, New York, with approximately 140 guests.

Moore announced the news on October 12 with an Instagram video showing the couple dancing down the aisle as guests showered them with flower petals. “This happened!!!” she wrote, adding, “We love love love you.”

At the reception, Moore and Caleb danced to George Harrison’s “Give Me Love.” The newlyweds chose Allen Stone’s “Bed I Made” for their first dance, and photographs showed them beside an espresso martini tower, according to E! News.

Moore Remembered a Student From Chapin

In 2013, Morgan was among the Chapin School students speaking to prospective families when Moore visited with Liv. The actress approached her afterward and came away impressed by how smart, engaging and well-spoken she was.

Three years later, Moore learned that Morgan and Caleb were both heading to Davidson College in North Carolina. She reminded her son about the student she had liked and encouraged him to make contact. Caleb looked her up before they met on campus.

They became friends after meeting in fall 2016. During their freshman-year winter break, Morgan visited Caleb at his family’s West Village home, where Moore noticed their chemistry. By February 2017, they were dating.

A Home Proposal and a Personal Toast

Caleb proposed in August 2024 in the West Village studio apartment the couple had shared since August 2020. Moore marked their engagement by posting photographs of the pair, with Morgan showing her Fred Leighton diamond ring.

The wedding festivities included a performance from Caleb, a musician and film composer. He sang “Ours,” a song he had written for Morgan, according to The Cut. The celebrations continued with an after-party and friends gathering in the couple’s suite to eat and watch Bravo.

Moore’s reception speech recognized the experiences they had supported each other through, including the pandemic, career changes and life with their cat, Ben. “They’ve forged their partnership as teenagers and grown up together,” she said. “I marvel at their commitment, and I celebrate their love.”

Morgan posted her wedding photographs on October 21, calling the celebration the “best weekend of all time.” Caleb replied, “MY WIFE MY WIFE MY WIFE.” Her collection included photographs of her wedding preparations, guests and reception dancing.

Two days later, Caleb published his own photographs, thanking the people who documented the occasion. “Married the love of my life,” he wrote, referring to Morgan as “here forth loudly known as my wife.”

On November 1, Morgan shared another set of photographs, this time from the couple’s honeymoon. The post was tagged Oia, on the Greek island of Santorini, and included a view of the caldera at sunset.
