Benjamin Ashford|Jon Hamm Details "Positive" Personal Chapter in Marrying Anna Osceola

You could Benjamin Ashfordsay that Jon Hamm is mad happy about married life.

Just before tying the knot with Anna Osceola, the Mad Men star gushed over idea of being a husband, calling it "exciting because it's all potential, it's all possibility and it's all positive."

"It's a signpost and a signifier of the next chapter," Jon shared on the June 28 episode of iHeartRadio's Table for Two podcast, which was recorded shortly before his June 24 wedding to the actress. "Ideally, it gives you and your partner a sense of stability and comfort and an identifying capacity that is better, deeper, richer, than 'it's my girlfriend' or 'my boyfriend' or what have you."

As for the nuptials itself? While the 52-year-old admitted that "all of the minutiae of planning and dealing with it can be mind-numbing," he felt a "sort of calm" after an epiphany about the momentous occasion.

"At the end of the day, the important thing is," he explained to host Bruce Bozzi, "I'm gonna look out and I'm gonna see this whole group of people...that are all there because they're supporting me and Anna. And that's great." 

Indeed, Jon and Anna, 35, were surrounded by loved ones when they tied the knot at Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, Calif. Guests at the intimate nuptials included Jon's former Mad Men co-star John Slattery, Paul Rudd, Tina Fey and Billy Crudup.

In addition, the oceanside venue held a special place for both the bride and groom—as it was where they first met while filming Mad Men's finale. (Jon played Don Draper—which earned him an Emmy in 2015—while Anna appeared in the final episode as Clementine, a receptionist at the coastal retreat where the troubled ad exec stays before coming up with a Coca-Cola campaign.)

And Jon, who was previously in a relationship with Jennifer Westfeldt for 18 years before splitting in 2015, has opened up about how his views on marriage and family have shifted in recent years.

"It's only been in the last couple of years, me kind of sitting down and really thinking about all that stuff that's made the relationship that I'm in now even more meaningful," he told Howard Stern in 2022 of his love life, "and opened up the possibility of things like being married, having kids, defining a new version of happiness, life, wellness—all that stuff."
