Destry Spielberg Weds Jake Herskowitz in East Hampton Ceremony

Filmmaking, it seems, runs deep in the Spielberg bloodline — and so, now, does a reason to celebrate. Destry Spielberg, the 29-year-old director and youngest daughter of [Steven Spielberg](/ article/saving-private-ryan-now-streaming-a-deep-dive-into-spielberg-s-masterpiece) and actress Kate Capshaw, married real estate agent Jake Herskowitz on Saturday, September 26, in East Hampton, New York, according to Just Jared. The couple had announced their engagement less than a year prior, making for one of the swifter and more romantic timelines in recent celebrity nuptial news.

A Wedding Rooted in Joy and Partnership

Destry marked the occasion on Instagram with characteristic warmth, sharing a selection of photos from the day on September 29 and captioning them with the kind of sentiment that cuts through any carefully crafted press release: "Rain or shine we get to be together Forever and ever!!" The ceremony arrived just weeks after the couple marked another milestone — their four-year anniversary on September 1, which Destry also acknowledged publicly, writing that Herskowitz was her "best friend and partner for life." There is something quietly cinematic about a relationship that builds steadily over four years before culminating in a declaration made under open East Hampton skies.

The Spielberg-Capshaw Family

Destry is the youngest child of Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, a blended and expansive family that includes siblings Mikaela, 30; Sawyer, 34; Sasha, 36; Theo, 38; and Max, 41. Also part of the family is Jessica Capshaw, 50, Kate's daughter from her first marriage and a familiar face in her own right from years on Grey's Anatomy. It is a household shaped, in no small part, by a father whose cultural footprint spans decades of American cinema — and whose influence on his children's creative trajectories is difficult to overstate.

Destry's Growing Career Behind and in Front of the Camera

While the Spielberg name inevitably carries gravitational weight in Hollywood, Destry has been methodically constructing a body of work that stands on its own terms. Her acting credits include Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza, the HBO limited series I Know This Much Is True, and the comedy Mass Hysteria. On the directing side, she has helmed the short films Rosie and Let Me Go the Right Way, as well as the feature Please Don't Feed the Children — a body of short-form and feature work that reflects a filmmaker still actively defining her voice.

A Psychological Thriller Signals the Next Chapter

Most notably, Destry recently completed principal photography on Girl, a psychological crime thriller that represents arguably her most ambitious project to date. Written by Will Danilow, the film unfolds in a wealthy summer beach town where a tennis instructor is found violently murdered, and a local detective must excavate both the victim's final days and his own complicated history to unravel the case. The cast assembled around the material is striking: Jason Isaacs, Sofia Wylie, Luke Newton, and Maddie Ziegler. For a filmmaker in her late twenties, commanding that kind of ensemble while navigating the tonal demands of the genre suggests a confidence that goes well beyond inherited industry access. Much like her father — whose early genre work demonstrated an instinct for building and sustaining dread — Destry appears drawn to stories that use heightened circumstance to explore something psychologically and socially true.

Congratulations to Destry Spielberg and Jake Herskowitz on their marriage.
