The twosome, who began dating in 2013 and became engaged in 2018, hosted guests at Long Island City’s The Foundry, according to People.
The Prodigal Son alum was outfitted in a three-piece deep teal suit designed by Zegna.
He wore a black tie and tan-colored suede boots from Balmain while Jennifer, a Swedish singer-songwriter, stunned in a lacy dress by Pronovias.
It comes two years after Akerman took to Instagram to share a Polaroid snapshot of the two and wrote: ‘After having to cancel our wedding back in April and not knowing how long the world will be under lockdown, we felt like we still wanted to end this year as husband and wife, so we did.’

Their guests were gifted matchbooks with custom drawings of the bride and groom by Caitlin Alyse, who did the same for Ariana Grande’s wedding.
Ahead of his looming December 21 birthday, Tom was gifted a thoughtful video tribute.
To accompany their cake dessert, attendees enjoyed vodka-infused whipped cream from rapper Cardi B’s Whip Shots brand.

Following their 2020 wedding, the newlyweds spent their honeymoon period in Los Angeles and rang in the New Year at home.
In 2018, when Payne was working on The Walking Dead, he revealed he popped the question to his love during an appearance on the aftershow, The Talking Dead.
The former star of the zombie drama stopped by the show, hosted by Chris Hardwick, and let it slip that he was going to be a married man.
The now-twice-married couple welcomed a son in January of this year, taking to social media to share the news.
