Will Ferrell stepped out for a rare red carpet appearance with wife Viveca Paulin.
The private couple arrived at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California, on Saturday, November 8, to support the 2025 Baby2Baby Gala presented by Paul Mitchell.
While walking the red carpet, Ferrell, 58, sported curly hair and a classic suit. Paulin, 56, wore a purple dress with floral prints sprinkled on the fabric.
The Baby2Baby Gala is an annual event that raises critical funds to make sure the organization can reach one million children living in poverty each year.

In the last 14 years, Baby2Baby has distributed over half a billion essential items, including diapers, formula and clothing to children in need across the country.
This year’s gala — which included a performance from Ludacris and a special award presented to tennis star Serena Williams — was attended by more than 800 guests and helped raise more than $18 million to support Baby2Baby’s mission.
Ferrell and Paulin first met in the ’90s while in the same Los Angeles acting class. They married in 2000 and went on to welcome three children: Magnus, 21, Mattias, 18, and Axel, 15.
“I think we were drawn to each other initially through our shared sense of humor, and that has remained the foundation of our relationship,” Ferrell told People in November 2024 of his longstanding marriage. “I think, ultimately, that’s our bond, making each other laugh.”
While the actor has no problem making fans laugh on the big and small screen, he admitted that Paulin can sometimes be hard to crack.
“Every now and then, I’ll get her to laugh, and she’ll be like, ‘OK, OK. You still got it,'” he recalled to the publication. “Through all of life’s ups and downs and raising a family — and with everything everyone has to deal with, especially with how hectic lives can be these days — it’s always great to have this partner in crime that you can kind of step away from the fray and just share a thought and share a moment with, where you’re both kind of still on the same page, and you get to kind of connect that way.”
While Paulin has some experience as a performer, like her husband, one of the couple’s sons recently gave Us Weekly a glimpse into what it was like to be raised by two successful parents.
According to Magnus, his mom and dad allowed him and his siblings to have a normal childhood with the space and encouragement to follow whatever passion they wanted.

“I’m so grateful,” the singer shared with Us in May. “I could have turned out a very wildly different human being, but I’m so thankful. I didn’t really even know what [my dad] did until I was 11.”
Magnus’ upbringing has also allowed him to savor every moment as he works to turn his dreams into a reality.
“I’m the most excited about the music than I’ve ever been before,” he added. “I’m just excited to show that to the world and see what we could make happen.”
