Alexandra Daddario's journey of joy and loss

Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form, who met during the Covid-19 pandemic and married in an intimate New Orleans ceremony, announced their pregnancy through Vogue in July.

The actress had kept her pregnancy under wraps for six months before publicly sharing the news.

Reflecting on her journey, Daddario opened up about previously experiencing a pregnancy loss, saying, “I had been pregnant... I had loss.”

The 'Baywatch' actress acknowledged the emotional toll of such experiences, expressing empathy for others who have been through similar losses.

“It’s long and complicated, so I don’t want to be too specific,” she shared, adding, “Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them. It’s very, very painful.”

Inside Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form's relationship

Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form crossed paths in New York City during the pandemic and their bond quickly deepened and, by May 2021, the actress made their relationship public.

They became engaged in August 2021, and tied the knot in New Orleans in June 2022, surrounded by family and friends, according to Vogue.

“We said vows, cried, and Andrew’s children were his groomsmen and ring bearers,” she said at the time.

“We wanted to keep the ceremony itself short so people could have a dose of love and then get back to the music and catching up,” Daddario added. 

Reflecting on her relationship with Form, Daddario has shared heartfelt messages of appreciation, calling him “the absolutely most wonderful man” and highlighting his strength, grace, and compassion.

“You handle nonsense, loss, life, difficulty, people, with grace and compassion,” she wrote in a touching Instagram post, crediting Form with helping her through life’s challenges.
