On Sunday, the Duchess of Sussex looked cheerful as she stepped out in Montecito with Kimberly Williams-Paisley, the actress from Father of the Bride.
The Duchess, 42, was seen leaving the popular Italian restaurant Tre Lune, a hotspot for celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Ellen DeGeneres, and Sofia Richie.
Mother-of-two Meghan was photographed smiling and chatting with Kimberly, 52, who is married to country singer Brad Paisley.
The pair were near Meghan’s $14.5 million Montecito home. Kimberly and her husband have been long-time residents of Montecito and are part of the same social circle as Ellen, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom.
Kimberly, who is actively involved in charitable causes, especially those related to ending food poverty—an area close to Meghan’s heart—likely had much to discuss during their outing.
Meghan looked effortlessly stylish in a £245 white ‘Mika’ shirt from Los Angeles brand Anine Bing, paired with relaxed light-blue denim mom jeans, and her hair pulled back with a claw clip. Kimberly opted for a casual look with a blue button-down dress and white sneakers.
Kimberly has been married to Brad Paisley for over 20 years, and they share two children. Prince Harry and Brad Paisley might have crossed paths at the Stand Up for Heroes event in 2020, where Brad performed.
In 2016, Kimberly shared her personal story in the memoir Where the Light Gets In: Losing My Mother Only to Find Her Again, which chronicles her family’s struggle with her mother’s dementia, specifically primary progressive aphasia. The book received praise for its heartfelt depiction of their journey and resilience.
Kimberly is best known for her role as Annie in Father of the Bride, her first major film role, which led to a successful career with roles in movies such as Indian Summer (1993), Coldblooded (1995), and The War at Home (1996). She starred in According to Jim from 2001 to 2009, including directing three episodes. After that, she appeared in Nashville, Boston Legal, and Two and a Half Men.
Kimberly and Brad Paisley, who married in 2003, are also known for their charitable efforts, including their recent initiative, ‘The Store’, aimed at addressing food insecurity.
