We already knew that Kristen Wiig welcomed two babies in quarantine via surrogate sometime last year, and in a new interview, the Saturday Night Live star confirms that she and her fiance, actor and writer Avi Rothman, tied the knot under the radar. “I am very lucky to have these two babies and my husband, and they make everything better. It changed my life, ”said Wiig as a SiriusXM guest The Howard Stern Show Wednesday. Joking about how to balance work, specifically promoting your next film Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar and family during the pandemic, Wiig says: “It is very difficult because I am always convinced that they will forget who I am if I stay out for a day. I looked at my kids, like, ‘I’m your mom. I am your mother.'”
“I am nervous about actually leaving and working when it does, because there is something very good about being at home with them all the time,” said Wiig of his twins, whose names she has not yet revealed. “The time is coming and I will do my best to balance it out, and they will come first.” “They” being two identical Gillys, at least that’s how we imagine the Wiig-Rothman house.
