It’s been 12 years (!!!) since we bid the residents of Orange County farewell, but Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody have given The OC fans a peek at what Summer and Seth may look like now.
Princess Sparkle and Captain Oates (if you know, you know) had an impromptu reunion after they bumped into each other at an airport.
And it really was a case of “California, here we come”, as the pair where both flying out of
New York and into the state where the hit 2000s teen drama was set. View this post on InstagramA post shared by @rachelbilson on Aug 13, 2019 at 8:21pm PDTRachel, who played Summer Roberts, shared a picture of herself and former on-screen boyfriend Adam Brody (aka Seth Cohen) on
Instagram, writing: “Ran into my ol buddy from jfk to lax.”
Referencing the show’s famous theme tune, which was provided by Phantom Planet, Rachel added: ”#californiaherewecome.”The pair’s reunion got nostalgic fans right in the feels...a seth & summer airport scene is only fitting pic.twitter.com/CAaPXz3R98— ً (@theOCcaps) August 14, 2019Seth & Summer ❤️ 2003 | 2019#THEOCpic.twitter.com/JMR4FzJpD2— CHAYO (@chayorx) August 14, 2019Omg do you think Rachel stuck her tongue out in the photo as an homage to Seth and Summer’s perfect wedding moment— Carina Adly MacKenzie (@cadlymack) August 14, 2019I AM CRYING!!!!’ SETH AND SUMMER!!!!

Rachel, 37, then went on to date Hayden Christensen for nine years after they met on the set of film Jumper.
Prior to their split in 2017, they welcomed a daughter, Briar Rose, in 2014. Meanwhile, Adam, 39, found love with another US teen drama alumni, marrying Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (aka Blair Waldorf) in 2014.
The couple have a four-year-old daughter, Arlo Day. Just this week, Rachel spoke of her desire to reunite the show’s cast on a reboot of The OC.
Speaking to PopWow, she said: “It was such a great show and a great group. I’m still super close with [series creators] Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. I would trust them with my life. So, anywhere they would go I would follow. Of course, I’d be open to it. It’s a very fond memory for me and something I’m super grateful for.”
Of where she thinks Summer – who married Seth in a flash forward at the end of the final episode – would be now, she added: “I would imagine that she’s had kids. I would also think that she’s fighting for something. Perhaps a cause, or maybe she’s a lawyer.
“She’d definitely have her hand in the philanthropy world. It’d be really interesting to see them as adults.”
