Andy Samberg doesn’t open up about his family much, so when he does, people listen. On a new episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Andy gave everyone a sweet peek into life at home with his wife, Joanna Newsom.
They’ve been married since 2013. If you know, you know — Andy’s this goofy, lovable comedy guy, and Joanna’s this brilliant singer-songwriter with a fan base all her own. They keep their life pretty private. But Andy couldn’t help but gush when Amy brought Joanna up.
Amy reminded Andy how he’d first told her about Joanna back when they started dating. She said he was completely smitten right away. Andy didn’t deny it for a second. He just laughed and said yeah, he fell hard.
How Has Parenting Changed Andy and Joanna’s Life?
When Amy asked about how things have changed since they became parents, Andy got honest. He said having kids shifts everything — sleep, schedules, priorities. But the way he talked about it was really sweet. He said that any little moment they get alone still feels like a secret adventure. Like they’re teenagers sneaking in a sleepover.
He said there’s no one he’d rather hang out with than Joanna. To him, she’s still his favorite person to talk to, even with all the noise of life with kids. He called himself “lucky” more than once. You could hear in his voice he meant every word.
Andy didn’t share much about their two kids — no surprise there. He’s always been protective about keeping them out of the spotlight. But the way he talked about their life gave just enough for fans to picture them as a close, happy family.
Why Do Andy and Joanna Keep Things Private?
One thing fans love about these two is how normal they keep things. They don’t flood Instagram with family selfies. They’re not chasing headlines. Andy’s said before he likes it that way. He shows up, makes people laugh, then goes home to his real life.
Joanna’s the same. She’s built this loyal fan base with her music, but you won’t see her at every Hollywood event. They seem happy staying out of the noise.
Hearing Andy talk about Joanna like this just proves they’re still each other’s biggest fans. Even after a decade together and two kids running around, they’ve got that spark. Andy says they still make each other laugh. That’s probably the secret that keeps it all going.
