He got married to Riki Lindhome in secret in 2022.
In July of 2024, Riki Lindhome revealed that she and Fred Armisen had been married for two years and that she had a baby via surrogate just weeks after their first date. The two had apparently known each other for more than a decade, but their feelings started to change while filming Wednesday in 2020.
“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,” she told People.
“He didn't get to meet Keaton (her son) until three weeks after he was born because he was still working. And 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,” 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.’”
The two got married just a few months later.
