Here’s a tale that sounds straight out of Hollywood! John Corbett and Bo Derek were so private about their relationship that when John revealed they were married, it left many people surprised. You might be wondering—after all this time, are they still together? Well, buckle up because we’re about to take a closer look at their love story and how it unfolded.
How Did John Corbett and Bo Derek Begin Their Journey?
Back in 2002, John Corbett and Bo Derek met through an introduction by a Hollywood agent. This meeting happened when the Sex and the City star was looking for a date to an Oscars party. Can you imagine? One moment, John was just casually searching for a companion, and the next thing you know, he met the love of his life. John recounted this moment in a 2015 interview with Today, saying, “I said, ‘I’m not dating anyone,’ and he said, ‘I’ll get you a date, Corbett!’ And he set me up with Bo.”
Bo Derek, on the other hand, had been out of the dating scene for a solid five years before meeting John. But when sparks flew, she knew it was something special. “I kept saying to my friends, ‘I’ll wait until all the sparks and all that get going.’ And it finally happened,” Bo shared. Their first public appearance together was at the VH1 Big in 2002 Awards in Los Angeles, officially putting their relationship on the map.

Fast forward thirteen years, and Bo was asked about their plans for marriage. She admitted that while they occasionally discussed it, there wasn’t a pressing need since they didn’t have children and weren’t young anymore. Yet, she couldn’t help but gush about John, saying, “He’s funny. He makes me laugh all the time.”

When Did John Corbett and Bo Derek Tie the Knot?
It wasn’t until August 2021 that John Corbett made a surprising revelation during a virtual appearance on The Talk. Speaking to host Jerry O’Connell, he casually dropped the bombshell: “Jerry, I can’t believe I forgot to tell you. Around Christmas time we got married. Bo and I got married.”
John went on to explain why they kept their nuptials under wraps. “We’re pretty private people. We didn’t make an announcement. All our friends and family knew. But this is the first time either one of us has said anything publicly about it because really, we haven’t had an opportunity,” he added. “So, you’re my buddy, and now I guess I’m telling all of America or the world. And yeah, after 20 years we decided to get married.”
The couple chose to marry during the pandemic as a way to bring some positivity to a tough year. “We didn’t want 2020 to be that thing that everybody looks back and hated. And we thought, let’s get one good thing around it and did it around Christmas,” John confirmed.
