Riki Lindhome and Fred Armisen are sharing some major personal news — more than two years after the fact.
In an interview with People published Wednesday, the "Garfunkel and Oates" actress, 45, revealed that she and the "Portlandia" star, 57, secretly got married in June 2022. But wait, there's more: Lindhome also revealed that she welcomed a son, Keaton, via surrogate in March of that same year.
Lindhome had already been dating Armisen for a few weeks when her son was born and wasn't sure if he would want to raise the child with her, she explained. "I told him, 'So you just tell me what your heart says, and he said 'Yes,'" she told People. "It was just insta-family, basically."
"I was ready to date him, I didn't know what it would turn into," she shared. "I thought maybe I would be a single mom with a boyfriend. I didn't know what would happen. I didn't even know if he was interested at first — I didn't know anything. But it was a natural evolution."

Lindhome and Armisen were co-stars in the Netflix series "Wednesday," with Lindhome playing Dr. Valerie Kinbott and Armisen playing Uncle Fester.
Although they have known each other for more than a decade, she said she began having feelings for the comedian while they were working together on "Wednesday."
After her son was born, Lindhome subsequently moved into Armisen's home, and they tied the knot three months later in a small courthouse wedding with Keaton in attendance, according to People. It was not publicly known that Lindhome and Armisen were married until the interview was published Wednesday.

In fact, the "Under the Silver Lake" actress said she didn't even tell her mom about the wedding, and their friends slowly learned about it one at a time.
"I never wanted to get married," she told People. "I am not a wedding person. It's not for me. But this was just for us. We also didn't want to hurt people's feelings by not having a wedding — and we didn't want to get pressured into having one. We just wanted to be like, 'Guess what we did a few months ago?'"
Armisen, a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member, was previously married to singer Sally Timms and actress Elisabeth Moss. He was also in a relationship with "Russian Doll" star Natasha Lyonne. He and Lyonne confirmed in 2022 that they had split after seven years together, and the actress told The Hollywood Reporter, "I honestly think we broke up because I wanted a swimming pool."
"We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we're still talking all the time, but Freddy doesn't like a swimming pool," the "Poker Face" actress added. "It might seem like a mundane reason for a breakup, but during that pandemic, you've got to get your laps — I'm like Burt Lancaster in 'The Swimmer.'"
On David Duchovny's "Fail Better" podcast, Armisen described his romance with Lyonne as a "successful relationship," adding that they're "still friends" and that he looks back at it "with a sort of peaceful happiness."
