“Wednesday” actors Fred Armisen and Riki Lindhome confirmed Wednesday that they tied the knot two years ago.
The couple, friends for more than 15 years, are also parents to 2-year-old son Keaton, whom Lindhome welcomed about two weeks into her romantic relationship with the “Portlandia” star via surrogate.
“The traditional way to land a man is not to have a baby by yourself and move to Romania,” the “Knives Out” actor told People.
Lindhome, who said she used sperm and an egg obtained from donors, thought she might just be “a single mom with a boyfriend” when Keaton was born in March 2022. Armisen was filming abroad and didn’t meet the baby until he was about 3 weeks old. Lindhome detailed their initial apprehension about jumping into a relationship.
“I said, ‘All I want is the truth. If you feel in your gut that’s not for you, it doesn’t make you a jerk. I’m not mad at you,” Lindhome said she told him. “I said, ‘I still think you’re the best. I just want you to really feel what you feel. And then be honest about it because it’s a big life-altering thing.’ And he said, ‘OK, OK.’
“I told him, ‘So you just tell me what your heart says, and he said, ‘Yes.’ It was just insta-family, basically,” she said.
