Here’s a bit of surprising news: actress Riki Lindhome and comedian Fred Armisen secretly tied the knot two years ago! But that’s not all – they also welcomed a son just weeks after their very first date!
Friends First, Lovers Later
Riki and Fred actually knew each other for 15 years before their relationship took a romantic turn. They were just good friends for a long time. But things changed when they started filming the TV show “Wednesday” together in 2020. While working on the show, Riki started to develop feelings for Fred. However, she was also about to have a baby through surrogacy.
A Whirlwind Romance and a New Family
Even though Riki was having these new feelings, she knew it wasn’t the best time to start a relationship. So, she kept her emotions in check. Her son, Keaton, was born in March 2022. At that point, she and Fred had only been on a few dates!
Riki originally thought she might be a single mom, but things turned out differently. Her relationship with Fred just felt natural, and it grew stronger over time. They moved in together, and Fred became a part of their new little family.
Courthouse Wedding – Just the Two (and a Baby!)
Three months after Keaton’s birth, on June 1, 2022, Riki and Fred decided to make things official. They got married in a simple ceremony at a courthouse. It was a small wedding, with just their son Keaton and one friend as a witness. They didn’t make a big announcement or anything, but figured people would find out eventually.
Riki says she never really wanted a big wedding anyway. This courthouse ceremony was perfect for them – just a small way to celebrate their love for each other as a new family.
Keeping it Quiet
Riki admits she didn’t even tell her own mom about the wedding at first! They just wanted to keep things private and enjoy this special time together as a new family. But news does travel, and eventually, more and more people found out about their marriage.
A Happy Ending (or Beginning!)
This story is a sweet reminder that love can come along at any time, even in unexpected ways. Riki and Fred’s relationship blossomed from a long-time friendship into something much deeper. And now, they have a beautiful son and a happy marriage. Congratulations to the happy couple!
