Steven Spielberg's youngest daughter, Destry Allyn Spielberg, tied the knot with her real estate agent beau, Jake Herskowitz, in a stunning Hamptons celebration over the weekend.

The legendary filmmaker's daughter, whose mother is actress Kate Capshaw, wed Jake in East Hampton several months after they got engaged.

Destry looked incredible in her wedding dress, reportedly designed by Seline Meisler, which featured a corseted waist with lace creating a high neckline, paired with a voluminous skirt. She completed the look with yellow heels and wore her blonde locks tied back into a sleek bun.

While it is not clear where the lovebirds tied the knot, Steven does own a luxurious multi-million-dollar estate in the Hamptons overlooking Georgica Pond.

Destry, 29, and Jake, 26, were first linked in 2022, after her engagement to Swiss actor Genc Legrand ended.

The blonde beauty shared a sweet tribute to Jake on their anniversary on September 2, writing: "Happy four-year anniversary to my best friend and partner for life," alongside photos of the pair relaxing together on a boat.

A Hollywood legacy

Destry is the youngest of Steven's seven children, including Max, Jessica, Theo, Sasha, Sawyer and Mikaela. Destry followed her father into the world of filmmaking and made her feature directing debut in 2024's Please Don't Feed the Children. 

She followed this up with Girl, which co-starred Jason Isaacs, Sofia Wylie, Maddie Ziegler and Luke Newton.

Destry defended her status as a Hollywood nepo baby after she garnered backlash for seemingly waltzing into a directorial role, a point which writer Franklin Leonard tweeted about amid the news that her film involved fellow nepo babies Hopper Penn and Owen King.

Hopper is the son of actors Sean Penn and Robin Wright, while Owen is the son of horror author Stephen King. "Hollywood's a meritocracy, right?" Franklin wrote in 2021.

The 29-year-old has been open about the privileges afforded to her

"I am just a young aspiring female filmmaker who admires the art of cinema. People can argue nepotism, but I know deep down that I worked hard to get where I am and it wasn't easy," she replied on social media.

"Beyond proud of this film and proud of the team it took to make it," Destry continued, "I acknowledge that I was born with privilege! I own that through and through! I make it my mission to bring new talent into the industry & give opportunities to artists of all backgrounds. No one should be left out because of the connections they don't have."

In her blood

Destry previously shared with Interview that she grew up making movies with her friends at home before the age of social media, and made her first short film with her friend around the age of 21. "It was a feeling of passion I hadn't felt in a really long time for something that I didn't even know I wanted to do," she recalled.

"Of course I was definitely like, 'I don't want to do this. This is my dad's job. I don't want to take that from him or even try.' Not because I was intimidated, just because I grew up around it my whole life. But that experience was an immediate, 'This is what I want to do.'"
