Wednesday star Lindholme, 45, who became a mom to son Keaton on March 11 2022 after using a donor egg and sperm to conceive – told People the pair had quickly got serious, and three months after the birth, they wed.
Lindholme and Armisen had known each other for 15 years but the actress realized she was falling for him when they filmed Wednesday together in Romania in 2020.
She said: ‘I could tell I was having feelings, but then I was like, ‘Well, I can’t say anything because I’m about to have a baby. I knew that I was starting to have feelings for him, and I wanted to go on a date.
‘So I was like, Okay, let’s explore. Then it unfolded naturally over time. I wasn’t like, You’re the dad. I was like, I want to have dinner with you. My thought was, I want to kiss you. I want to see you. Then it just kept going.’
Riki Lindhome and Fred Armisen quietly made their own mysterious and spooky family.
The Last House on the Left actress shared that she and the Saturday Night Live alum tied the knot over two years ago in a private ceremony after falling in love while filming Wednesday.
“We got married in a courthouse,” Riki told People in an interview published July 17. “It’s not a secret, but we didn’t really tell people. We didn’t announce it or anything. And we thought people would hear about it eventually. And that’s what happened, one friend at a time.”
As for the wedding process? The pair, who were longtime friends before their relationship turned romantic, skipped the engagement and chose a random Wednesday afternoon June 2022 to get hitched, a nod to the show where they fell in love. She added, “The wedding was three minutes long and then we got some ice cream.”
But marriage wasn’t the only major milestone for Riki and Fred, who began dating while filming the Netflix series in Romania. At the time they started dating, the Garfunkel and Oates star was also in the process of starting her family, with her welcoming her son Keaton in March 2022 via surrogacy with a donor egg and sperm after several years of IVF.
