Downey weds Levin in the town of Amagansett, Long Island, New York. The Jewish ceremony takes place under a custom-built gazebo with performances by Billy Joel and Sting. Some of the guests include Ellen Barkin and Keanu Reeves. Downey:

We changed each other. We both know the business really well, and ourselves and each other, and it’s a lot. And life is hard and it’s good to not do it alone.

Levin:

It’s a little cliche to say this, but when you find the right person, it brings out the best in both of you.
