Carly Rae Jepsen has officially entered her next era — as a married woman. The “Call Me Maybe” hitmaker, who became a global pop phenomenon in the 2010s, tied the knot with longtime partner and collaborator Cole M.G.N. (real name Cole Marsden Greif-Neill) in a private ceremony at New York City’s iconic Chelsea Hotel earlier this month.
A Love Story Rooted in Music

Jepsen and Cole’s relationship began in the studio while working on her 2023 album The Loveliest Time. What started as creative chemistry blossomed into something much deeper. Their collaboration produced the song “So Right,” which Jepsen later described as their “meet-cute.”
“You have to get to a certain level of comfort with somebody before you can get to those playful, experimental places,” she told People at the time. It seems that comfort soon turned into love — and now, marriage.
A Wedding with Artistic Soul

On October 4, Jepsen and Cole exchanged vows in the Bard Room of the Chelsea Hotel — a venue rich with artistic history, once home to icons like Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, and Bob Dylan. The space, known for its bohemian charm, perfectly reflected the couple’s creative spirits.
“We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us,” Jepsen told Vogue. “The Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York.”
Her wedding day style was equally thoughtful. She wore a strapless corseted gown with a draped skirt by Australian designer Toni Maticevski for the ceremony, later changing into a dreamy tiered dress from New York designer Danielle Frankel. In a sentimental touch, she accessorized with pearl earrings handmade by her mother, Alexandra Lanzarott.

The evening’s standout moment came when musician Rufus Wainwright surprised the guests with an a cappella rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel #2.” For Jepsen — a longtime admirer of the hotel’s artistic legacy — it was a serendipitous full-circle moment. “This felt like a once-in-a-lifetime New York moment,” she said.
From Engagement to “I Do”
Jepsen first announced her engagement to Cole in September 2024, sharing a series of photos on Instagram with the caption, “Very engaged over here .” Fans flooded the comments with excitement, celebrating the couple’s low-key yet heartfelt reveal.
In the months that followed, Jepsen gave glimpses of her wedding preparations — from taste-testing cakes (“Mostly fighting about cake,” she joked) to celebrating her bachelorette with friends in colorful wigs. Each post carried her signature humor and warmth, traits fans have long adored.
The Start Of A New Chapter
While Jepsen has yet to share full wedding photos, her fans are already speculating about new music inspired by this next chapter. The Grammy-nominated singer has always channeled her emotions into her work — from heartbreak anthems to euphoric pop bangers.
If her love story with Cole is any indication, her next album might just be her most romantic yet.
