Pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen has officially tied the knot with Grammy-winning music producer Cole M.G.N. in a romantic and intimate ceremony at New York City’s historic Chelsea Hotel, transforming their professional collaboration into an enduring artistic partnership.
In a celebration that perfectly blended their shared artistic spirits with personal intimacy, Carly Rae Jepsen, the voice behind the global hit “Call Me Maybe,” married esteemed music producer Cole M.G.N. on October 4, 2025. The couple exchanged vows in the famed Bard Room of the iconic Chelsea Hotel in New York City, a venue deeply meaningful to both artists.
A Love Story Rooted in Collaboration
The journey to the altar for Jepsen, 39, and Cole Marsden Greif-Neill (professionally known as Cole M.G.N.) began in May 2021. Their initial encounter was a professional songwriting session, a pairing orchestrated by Jepsen’s management. What started as a creative partnership soon blossomed into romance, with the couple officially beginning their relationship in 2022.
Fans of Jepsen might recognize their early romantic spark in her 2023 album, The Loveliest Time. The song “So Right” is famously described by Jepsen as their “meet-cute,” even opening with a playful skit debating whether they should hang out after hours. This track, the couple’s “first little baby out in the world,” hints at the deep connection and playful experimentation that defines their dynamic.
The couple’s engagement was shared with fans on September 23, 2024, through a heartfelt Instagram post by Jepsen. She posted several photos showcasing her unique dark gemstone and gold band ring, along with images of the couple embracing in nature. “Very engaged over here 💍❤️,” she captioned the announcement, which followed a month-long trip to Europe where Cole proposed.
The Intimate Chelsea Hotel Ceremony
For their special day, Jepsen and Cole chose the famed Chelsea Hotel in New York City, a location that held significant personal meaning for them. “We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York,” Jepsen shared with Vogue. As artists, the building’s iconic history and lore, which boasts past inhabitants like Mark Twain, Arthur Miller, Jimi Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, and Madonna, made it an even more appealing choice.
The intimate ceremony hosted approximately 100 guests and featured meticulous planning, with the couple dedicating weekly “dates” to sort out details, ensuring the process remained enjoyable and stress-free. Reflecting on the day, Jepsen revealed to Instagram, “Husband. That feels good to say. ❤️ New York City ~ Oct. 4th. Favourite day of my life.” Cole echoed her sentiments, writing, “An absolute dream. I love my wife so much!!!”
Bridal Fashion and Unforgettable Moments
Jepsen graced her wedding day in two stunning ensembles. For the ceremony, she chose a strapless corseted dress with a draped skirt by Australian designer Toni Maticevski, complemented by a transparent veil. Her ethereal tiered reception dress, designed by New York City’s Danielle Frankel, offered a flowier alternative, which Jepsen noted she considered for dancing or as a potential option for the ceremony itself, given their plans for starting a family. Both dresses were paired with pearl earrings lovingly crafted by her mother, Alexandra Lanza Rott.
Cole M.G.N. also sported a distinguished look, wearing a Husbands Paris suit with a Dolce & Gabbana shirt. The couple shared that the moment they first locked eyes was unparalleled. “Nothing will top the moment when we first locked eyes, and to be honest, for the first half of the ceremony we couldn’t see anyone else,” Jepsen told Elle.
A truly special moment arrived with a surprise performance from close friend Rufus Wainwright. He captivated the guests with an a cappella rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel #2,” a performance Jepsen described as a “once-in-a-lifetime New York moment.” The newlyweds also incorporated personal touches into the reception, planting special songs in the DJ’s setlist to ensure they would always find each other on the dance floor, no matter where they were.
