Who is Leslie Bibb? Partner, movies, TV shows and awards

There’s a good chance you’re about to see plenty of Leslie Bibb on your screens over the next little while, with the 49-year-old starring in AppleTV+ series Palm Royale, Clint Eastwood’s Juror No. 2, and season three of HBO’s The White Lotus.

Leslie Bibb’s upcoming projects in 2024

Bibb will line up opposite Academy Award winners Laura Dem and Allison Janney, in addition to Kirsten Wiig, in period comedy miniseries Palm Royale, the first three episodes of which will be released on Wednesday 20 March. The 10-part series will conclude on Wednesday 8 May.

We’ll have to wait a little longer to see the North Dakota native back in action in her other upcoming projects, with Juror No. 2, which was originally slated to be released in the first half of 2024, now set to come out in the fall, although no exact date has been specified.

Bibb will also join the cast of The White Lotus for season three, which has similarly been pushed back and is now expected to be released in 2025.

Bibb’s most successful roles, from The Big Easy to Iron Man

After appearing in an episode of ABC sitcom Home Improvements in 1996, the actress’ first main role saw her play Detective Janine Rebbenack in season two of crime drama The Big Easy the following year.

While Bibb has had relatively small roles in some successful shows, including ER, Nip/Tuck, CSI: Miami and Entourage, she is perhaps best known for playing student Brooke McQueen in teen comedy-drama TV series Popular, as well as her appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Bibb has yet to win an award in her acting career but was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Television Choice Actress in 2000 for her portrayal of McQueen.

Her first foray into the MCU came in 2008 when she played reporter Christine Everhart in Iron Man, a role she briefly reprised in Iron Man 2 two years later. Everhart, voiced by Bibb, also featured in the Marvel TV series What If…? in 2021.

Is Bibb married? Does she have any children?

Bibb has been in a relationship with fellow actor Sam Rockwell since 2007, with the pair having both featured in Iron Man 2 (and 2015 comedy film Don Verdean).

However, they reportedly met before working together, while Rockwell was in Los Angeles filming. The pair have never married, while the actor stated in a 2007 interview he “definitely didn’t want to have children”.

The actress was previously married to Rob Born, an investment banker. After tying the knot when she was 29 in Mexico in November 2003, they divorced a little over a year later.
