Jordana Brewster is thankful that she gave love a second chance with her husband, Mason Morfit.
The Fast and furious star married Morfit in September 2022 and the couple now have a blended family of six children from previous marriages. These include Brewster’s two sons with her ex-husband Andrew Form: Julian, born in 2013, and Rowan, born in 2016.
Brewster first met Morfit at a business lunch while she was still married to her then-husband. However, it wasn’t until a chance reunion a few years later in San Francisco, just four days after Brewster split from her ex-husband of 13 years, that their story took a romantic turn.
“When I landed, Mason was at the bottom of the escalator, holding a sign with my name on it. My heart was fluttering like a hummingbird. I suddenly felt super panicked, but also strangely grounded,” she recalled. “Mason and I melted into each other. I was like, please kiss me. And he did.”
The couple’s relationship quickly developed, and the actress said that from that day on she started seeing Morfit regularly and that they “were thinking about how to bring our families together.”
The couple was first spotted holding hands while walking in Los Angeles in July 2021. He proposed to Brewster shortly after in September 2021, and even included her puppy in the proposal. They got married a year later.
When asked how she felt about Morfit, the actress told PEOPLE in 2021, “One of the things I really love about our relationship is that we grow together. And that he pushes me to be better, and I push him to be better.”
