Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell
In 2007, the couple met while Rockwell was filming Frost/Nixon. Bibb, for her part, was previously married to businessman Rob Born from 2003 to 2004, but she and the Fosse/Verdon alum never wed. “She keeps me laughing. … She’s really talented and funny herself,” he told Us in 2018. “She reminds me of a young Mary Tyler Moore.”
Bibb opened up about her decision not to marry Rockwell during a June 2025 appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends.
“I mean, listen, I love Sam Rockwell, I would put him in my pocket and carry him with me all the time, I love him. I do not want to get married,” she told host Jenna Bush Hager. “I feel like we are married.”
When asked whether she wanted to marry Rockwell at the start of their relationship, Bibb said, “No … and then he would annoy the crap out of me because he was like, ‘Really? You don’t want to get married?’ [And] I was like, ‘Stop saying it, I already said I don’t want to marry you. Stop asking me like I’m going to pull, like, a sneak on you.’ But he didn’t want it either.”
She continued, “I mean, I don’t know, maybe it’s probably something about the way we grew up, but I feel like, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
