Amanda de Cadenet's daughter Atlanta ties the knot with Chromeo's David Macklovitch in Brooklyn courthouse

Amanda de Cadenet's eldest daughter, Atlanta Bean, 33, has married singer David Macklovitch, one half of the electro‑funk duo Chromeo, in a courthouse ceremony at Brooklyn after seven years together.

Atlanta shared a gallery of Instagram snaps from the day, including moments after they exchanged vows and a shot of their dog sporting a matching bow tie.

Photos show Atlanta in a chic Chanel-inspired wedding dress with a matching veil, while Macklovitch wore a sharp black tuxedo. The couple had become engaged in January 2020.

Amanda de Cadenet, a 1990s television presenter who fronted The Word and The Big Breakfast before moving to the United States, has built a multifaceted career as a photographer and author. Her work has appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, Jane, and Spin, and she has published several books, including Rare Birds, The Watchers, and It's Messy: Essays on Boys, Boobs, and BFFs. She has also released a collection of photographs titled #girlgaze: How Girls See the World.

De Cadenet’s public life has long intertwined with music and film. She was married to Duran Duran bassist John Taylor in the early 1990s and is mother to Atlanta from that marriage. She later married Nick Valensi of The Strokes in 2006 and shares twins Ella and Silvan, now in their late teens. In interviews, she has described how both Keanu Reeves and Nick Valensi helped restore her faith in men, a point she has discussed publicly in reflection on balance between fame and privacy.

In recent years, de Cadenet has emphasized the importance of privacy for her circle and has spoken about the supportive role longtime partners play in her life. She told The Guardian that Reeves remains part of her extended family and praised his ability to maintain privacy while navigating fame. The ceremony this week underscores a personal milestone for Atlanta and her partner, with comments on the couple’s Instagram post from both the bride and groom signaling warm family support.
