Andy Samberg and Joanna Newsom are notoriously private about their marriage — but fans still think the stars are couple goals.
The harp player was introduced to Samberg when he attended one of her shows in 2008 with fellow Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen. “I was a big fan of his. In fact, the night that I met him … I had just been with my band backstage, like, an hour before, watching Just 2 Guyz,” Newsom recalled during a March 2016 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, referring to an old sketch the comedian had “a tiny part” in. “He plays Steve the c—. … So when I met him, he was kinda shy, and I said, ‘Oh, my God, you’re Steve the c—!’ He always says he saw heart bubbles.”
Seth Meyers joked that the story checked out, adding, “Everything I know about him, I know that is the dream way for a girl to greet him.”
Us Weekly broke the news in February 2013 that the duo got engaged after five years of dating. They tied the knot in California that September in front of a star-studded group of friends, from Lorne Michaels to Nick Kroll.
The pair’s romance remained low-key over the years, and Us confirmed in March 2017 that they quietly welcomed their first child. Fellow Lonely Island member Jorma Taccone revealed in February 2023 that Samberg and Newsom welcomed their second child one year prior.
