Almost a decade after their initial introduction, Reeves and Grant would go public with their relationship in November of 2019. Though only revealing their relationship to the public in late 2019, the couple has reportedly been together for several years prior to their public debut, kept under wraps likely due to Reeve’s reticence to open his romantic relationships for public consumption and speculation.

Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern
When Kudrow met French advertising executive Michel Stern in the 1980s, she was immediately drawn to him. However, at the time of their meeting, Stern was dating Kudrow’s roommate. Stern and Kudrow’s roommate eventually broke up a few months later, but it wasn’t until 6 years later that Kudrow and Stern would reconnect at her birthday party. Just a week after the first season of Friends had wrapped, the couple wed on May 27, 1995. When Kudrow became pregnant with the couple’s son Julian in 1998, writers of the hit sit-com worked Kudrow’s pregnancy into the script of the show by Phoebe acting as a surrogate mother for triplets to her younger half brother in the show’s 4th season.
Wanda Sykes and Alex Niedbalski
The Chris Rock Show writer met now wife Alex Niedbalski while on a ferry to New York’s Fire Island, a Long Island gay village first popularized in the early 1970s. The couple married in October 2008, one month before Sykes publicly came out while speaking in opposition to California’s widely controversial Proposition 8, a state constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. Sykes and Niedbalski, an interior designer by profession, welcomed a set of twins, Lucas and Olivia, in 2009.
Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney
Emmy-nominated comedy writer Molly McNearney first met Kimmel in 2003 after being hired as a writer at the show’s genesis. However, the late-night host didn’t make a fantastic first impression on McNearney, reportedly referring to her habit of competing in triathlons as a waste of time. McNearney now serves as the co-head writer on Kimmel’s late-night show and has written for Kimmel’s hosting gigs like The Academy Awards and The White House Correspondant’s Dinner. The comedic duo share 2 children, a son and a daughter born in 2017 and 2014 respectively. The couple’s son, William, was born with a rare heart defect that necessitated almost immediate surgery with the procedure taking place when he was just 3 days old. Luckily, the surgery was a success and impelled Kimmel to discuss the topic on his show and advocate for universal healthcare.
