Who did Melissa Rivers marry? Age and all we know about Steve Mitchel as Joan Rivers' daughter ties the knot

Melissa Rivers, daughter of Joan Rivers, married attorney Steve Mitchel on March 15, 2025. According to People magazine, the wedding took place at the Four Seasons in Wyoming and was attended by approximately 150 guests.

The Fashion Police star’s son, Edgar Cooper Endicott, from her first marriage to John Endicott, was also present at the event, along with notable figures such as philanthropist Laura Wasserman and producer Charles Cook.

Edgar had a message for the 63-year-old Mitchel as he spoke during the wedding, expressing that Steve should allow his mother to live her life as she wishes.

Melissa Rivers and Steve Michel were spotted dancing to Burning Down the House, joined by guests as they enjoyed tracks like Country Roads. In an interview with People magazine, Melissa shared that her wedding was canceled due to the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year, explaining that she didn't want to proceed given the ongoing situation.

“That’s when my friends stepped in and said, ‘We are doing this.’ Because a number of people who are coming lost their homes too, and they were like, ‘Thank God we have this to look forward too.’ I also knew that we were all going to want to go away for a weekend to get out of all this chaos and rest our brains.”

Melissa Rivers’ wedding also featured an incredible menu with dishes for all the guests, including beef tenderloin, chicken in a mushroom cream sauce, Korean fried chicken sliders, charred Brussels sprouts, and more.
