Will Ferrell and Wife Viveca Paulin Make Rare Red Carpet Appearance at Baby2Baby Gala

Will Ferrell made an infrequent red carpet appearance alongside his wife, Viveca Paulin.

The usually private pair attended the 2025 Baby2Baby Gala, sponsored by Paul Mitchell, at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California, on Saturday, November 8.

On the red carpet, 58-year-old Ferrell showcased curly hair and a traditional suit. Paulin, 56, was seen in a purple gown adorned with scattered floral patterns.

The Baby2Baby Gala, held yearly, gathers essential funds to enable the organization to assist a million impoverished children annually.

Over the past 14 years, Baby2Baby has provided more than 500 million crucial supplies, such as diapers, formula, and apparel, to needy children nationwide.

The current year's gala — featuring a performance by Ludacris and an honorary award given to tennis icon Serena Williams — drew over 800 attendees and secured more than $18 million for Baby2Baby’s objectives.

Ferrell and Paulin initially encountered each other in an acting class in Los Angeles during the 1990s. They wed in 2000 and subsequently had three sons: Magnus, 21, Mattias, 18, and Axel, 15.

“I believe our shared sense of humor first attracted us to one another, and it continues to be the bedrock of our relationship,” Ferrell shared with People in November 2024, discussing his enduring marriage. “Ultimately, I think our connection lies in making each other laugh.”

Although the actor effortlessly entertains audiences in film and television, he confessed that Paulin can occasionally be challenging to make laugh.

“Occasionally, I manage to make her laugh, and she'll respond with, ‘Alright, you've still got it,'” he recounted to the magazine. “Amidst life's various challenges, raising a family, and navigating the general busyness of modern life, it's wonderful to have a companion with whom you can momentarily withdraw from the chaos, share thoughts, and connect on a similar wavelength.”

Although Paulin, similar to her spouse, possesses some performing experience, one of their sons recently offered Us Weekly insight into growing up with accomplished parents.

Magnus stated that his parents permitted him and his siblings a typical upbringing, providing the freedom and support to pursue any interests they chose.

“I am extremely thankful,” the musician revealed to Us in May. “I might have developed into a vastly different person, but I'm truly grateful. I honestly didn't understand my father's profession until I reached 11 years old.”

Magnus’ childhood has also enabled him to appreciate each instant as he strives to materialize his aspirations.

“My enthusiasm for my music is at an all-time high,” he further mentioned. “I'm simply eager to present it to the public and discover what opportunities may arise.”
