The couple, appearing at Paramount Pictures Studios, shared a kiss on the red carpet, celebrating both the event and their relationship.
The Girls alum wore a striking ruby red, asymmetrical satin dress paired with simple gold jewelry and soft waves in her hair. Dreymon complemented her in an all-black outfit, supporting Williams as she promoted her new project based on Colleen Hoover’s novel.
Supporting Cast and Film Background
Joining Williams and Dreymon at the premiere were Williams’ costars from Regretting You, including Mckenna Grace, who plays her daughter in the film, alongside Dave Franco, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald, and Mason Thames. The storyline centers on mother Morgan Grant (Williams) and her daughter Clara (Grace) as they navigate the emotional fallout following a tragic car crash that claims the lives of two family members, unveiling hidden secrets and regrets.
Production of the film took place recently in Atlanta, wrapping as late as April of the same year, a detail Williams shared during an interview on October 20 with her former Girls co-star Andrew Rannells for Interview magazine.
Balancing Family Life and Career
Williams and Dreymon, who share a three-year-old son named Arlo, have managed demanding careers across various projects, often spending time apart. Williams explained how they maintain their connection amid busy schedules.
This whole year has been a lot of us working and coming back and forth to see each other,
Allison Williams said, describing their approach to long-distance time apart.
Rannells remarked humorously,
I believe that’s called the Julia Roberts rule. That’s her rule with [her husband] Danny Moder.
Williams responded,
Well, they seem sexy and happy, so I’m into it. After two weeks there’s so much to catch up on that it’s not possible, so either they would come to Atlanta, or I’d come home,
emphasizing their commitment to staying connected despite the demands of their careers and family life.
Relationship Journey and Parenthood
The couple met in 2019 during filming of the movie Horizon Line and quietly married in 2023, a milestone confirmed by Williams in an Instagram post and previously hinted at during a People report. Their son Arlo arrived two years after their first encounter.
Williams reflected on the challenge of portraying a mother to a teenager while parenting a young child in real life. Her husband was initially surprised by her onscreen maternal role but eventually found it convincing.
At the time of shooting this movie, I was a mother to a 3 1/2-year-old. I watched an early cut of it with Alexander, my husband, and he was like, ‘It’s so strange seeing you be the mom of —’
Williams shared.
He was like, ‘Actually, it’s convincing.’ I mean, Mckenna is so talented that she would’ve picked up the slack on anything.
Significance of the Premiere and Future Outlook
The Los Angeles premiere of Regretting You marks an important promotional moment for Allison Williams as she continues building her career with complex and emotionally charged roles, while navigating family life with Alexander Dreymon. The film’s exploration of trauma, secrets, and family bonds resonates with audiences and highlights the depth of Williams’ acting range.
