Status: Dating since 2009, just got married in October 2012.

Story: Cross said he had noticed Tamblyn around Los Angeles, but "I was slow to make any moves because of our age difference, and also because she was a fan" until the two wound up sitting next to each other on a flight. Tamblyn said, "He was in the seat next to me and I was like, 'Oh my God, that's David Cross!'" and that they soon started bonding over the SkyMall catalog. Cross added, "It was so obvious" that they were perfect for each other in that moment.

Status: Married since 2003.

Story: They met while doing a play together in Los Angeles. In an episode of The Mortified Sessions, the pair described their courtship and revealed that they call each other "Mom" and "Pop." Mullally went on to explain, "We've been together for 11+ years but we always say that it feels like we've been together for six months or something. One of the things that keeps me feeling that way about him is that he's a really good guy and a good man but on the other side he's got some mischief."
