Though they have never married, a lot of people assume that Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson are wed. Perhaps that is because of how long they have been together, or their baseball team of kids, but it is also probably likely due to the fact that Rudolph has been known to refer to Anderson as her “husband” when speaking about him. In a New York Times article from 2018, Rudolph admitted that “boyfriend” did not feel like the right term and that she uses the h-word loosely. “People know what that means. It means he’s the father of my child, and I live with him, and we are a couple, and we are not going anywhere,” she said.

The “Saturday Night Live” legend has been with the 11-time Oscar nominee since 2001. Interestingly, neither has shared the full story about how they first met and they are such low-key celebrities that we often forget they are a couple until they pop up together at an awards show. The pair share four children — Pearl, Lucille, Jack, and Minnie — all of whom adorably made appearances in Anderson’s film “Licorice Pizza,” alongside Rudolph. “That was actually a magical thing, because COVID happened, lockdown happened and then Paul was told like, ‘Okay, you can shoot now,'” she explained on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” “My kids, their friends, their friends’ parents, my parents, my nanny — we were all in it. We were all around and so we had a little world.”
