Woody Harrelson and Wife Make Rare Public Appearance

Woody Harrelson and his famously private wife, Laura Louie, turned heads this week with a rare outing together at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

The Thursday, Dec. 11 outing was a welcomed moment of visibility for a couple who have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

The respected actor accompanied Louie as director James L. Brooks was honored with a star on the famed boulevard, and the pair’s understated presence emphasized their enduring partnership.  

Harrelson, 64, and Louie, 60, sat side-by-side during the event, sharing smiles and casual conversation while watching Brooks receive applause from onlookers and fellow entertainers.

Louie’s choice to attend, dressed in a simple burgundy print and hat, was particularly notable: she rarely appears at public events with her husband, making this a special moment for fans and followers of the couple.

Louie Started as Harrelson’s Assistant

Harrelson and Louie’s connection dates back decades.

They first met in 1987 on the set of “Cheers,” where she was a part of a media workshop that came to the set, according to an interview Harrelson had with The Hollywood Reporter back in July of 2017.

He said he was looking for an assistant and Louie raised her had, and the two set up a time to meet.

“We had one of the greatest conversations I ever had, so she became my assistant,” he said. “She was so great that every other person in ‘Cheers’ got an assistant after that.”

The Two Became a Couple

What began professionally soon became romantic after three years.

“It was one of those things I wouldn’t admit to myself: I didn’t want to be attracted to my amazing assistant. But there was no connubial bliss,” the actor added.

He revealed that he told Louie he had feelings for her by writing her a song.

And after many years together, the couple ended up tying the knot in 2008.

They now share three daughters — Deni Montana, Zoe Giordano and Makani Ravello — and have built a life centered on family and mutual respect. 

While Harrelson’s acting career has drawn plenty of attention over the years — from his early days on “Cheers” to major roles in “The Hunger Games,” “True Detective” and a recent slew of film projects — Louie has stayed largely behind the scenes. 

Her rarely photographed presence at the Walk of Fame event was therefore a reminder of the couple’s longstanding commitment and the quiet foundation she provides for their family.
