Like many Hollywood couples, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach met on-set. Gerwig acted in the 2010 comedy drama “Greenberg,” which Baumbach wrote and directed. It was an eventful year for Baumbach, as he and Jennifer Jason Leigh ended their five year marriage, per Us Weekly. A year later, Baumbach and Gerwig started dating, and they’ve been an item ever since. Although they’ve been together for quite some time, the couple has been hesitant to use certain relationship labels. During her 2020 appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” Gerwig explained, “‘Boyfriend’ makes it sound like I just met him last week. And ‘lover’ is disgusting. And ‘fiancé’ makes it sound like there’s an imminent wedding. So none of it works.” They prefer to call each other husband and wife, despite not being officially married.

As their relationship progressed, Gerwig and Baumbach started a family. In 2019, they welcomed their son Harold. In July, Gerwig talked to Elle UK about their second child, who was born earlier this year. “He’s a wise little baby,” Gerwig said. She added, “The little guy is sleeping through the night. But I’m still doing that thing where I wake up, every hour to 90 minutes, and just hover. You just keep wanting to look at that baby. So I’m slightly in a twilight state.”
