As fans dive into the world of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, the anticipated spinoff from Young Sheldon, there’s a buzz not just about the on-screen romance but also the real-life relationships of its talented cast. From lead star Montana Jordan celebrating a “classic cowboy” wedding to Emily Osment’s recent personal transition, the lives of these actors often mirror the complexities and joys of their characters.
The beloved characters of Georgie Cooper and Mandy McAllister, first introduced in Young Sheldon, have embarked on a new chapter with their dedicated spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. This CBS sitcom explores their journey as newlyweds, navigating parenthood, a 12-year age difference, and the dynamics of moving in with Mandy’s parents. But for fans, the intrigue extends beyond the script, with many curious about the romantic lives of the actors who bring these characters to life.
The series, a thoughtful sequel to Young Sheldon and a prequel to The Big Bang Theory, features familiar faces and new additions, including cameos from Mandy’s brother, Connor McAllister (Dougie Baldwin), and Georgie’s mom, Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry). Mandy’s friend and co-worker, Beth (Casey Wilson), also plays a significant role. Just as their characters face relationship challenges and growth, several cast members have recently experienced pivotal moments in their personal lives, from weddings and parenthood to navigating new beginnings.
Montana Jordan: A Newlywed On and Off Screen
Montana Jordan, who reprises his role as Georgie Cooper, mirrors his character’s journey into married life. In real life, Jordan recently tied the knot with his high school sweetheart, Jenna Weeks. Their relationship, which became public in 2021 during their senior year, has blossomed into marriage and parenthood.
In January 2024, the couple announced they were expecting their first child, and by May, they welcomed their daughter, Emma Rae Jordan. Jordan has openly shared his joy about fatherhood, telling People, “It’s been great for me, man. There’s nothing better than freaking being a dad.” The actor then proposed to Weeks in January 2025, with Weeks sharing photos of the woodland proposal, expressing her excitement to spend her life with him. The couple celebrated their union in June 2025 with a “classic cowboy”-themed wedding in their home state of Texas, aiming for a “country but elegant” aesthetic, as Weeks shared with People.
Emily Osment: Navigating New Beginnings
While her character Mandy McAllister is settling into married life, Emily Osment’s personal journey has taken a different turn. Osment, who brilliantly portrays Georgie’s older wife, is currently single. She filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Jack Anthony, in March 2025, just five months after they were married on October 12, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.
The divorce was settled swiftly, just three days after filing. Osment reflected on the decision, stating to People, “Ultimately, it didn’t work out.” Her divorce was officially finalized in September 2025 after a standard six-month waiting period, as reported by the Associated Press.
