Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen are dating: surprising or great couple?
This is one of the more surprising stories I’ve heard post-Emmys. Natasha Lyonne, 35, and Fred Armisen, 47, made their debut as a couple at the Emmys. They were seen together at a pre-Emmys party, they went as each other’s dates to the Emmys, and they went to a bunch of post-Emmys parties, arm and arm. It’s on!
The new couple spent the events leading up the 2014 Emmy Awards side-by-side as well as TV’s biggest night together.
The couple attended the Variety and Women in Film Emmy Nominee Celebration on Aug. 23 and were spotted having a super intimate conversation with one another and “were very flirty and talking very closely,” an eyewitness tells Us.
On Monday, Aug. 25, the duo attended the Emmys together. Hitting up fetes like the Governors Ball, AMC/IFC/Sundance Channel’s afterparty and Netflix’s afterparty. Lyonne, 35, and Armisen, 47, walked around the Netflix bash “chuckling” with their “arms linked,” another observer adds.

While on the red carpet, Lyonne admitted to Ross Matthews she was texting a special someone. “This is not a G-rated text message I’m sending right now,” she told the TV host.
I know Armisen gets a lot of flack for being married to Elisabeth Moss for just six months before they split in 2010. Rumor had it that Fred was either cheating on Elisabeth with his then 23 year-old SNL costar Abby Elliot and/or that he couldn’t deal with the fact that she was a member of the Scientology cult. We don’t know what happened exactly and I don’t think it’s fair to put the blame on him – especially since Scientology is known to smear people who get in their way, and to actively work to break up marriages.
So now Armisen is dating Natasha Lyonne, and they make sense together. They’re both quirky and extremely funny people, they must have a blast. People Magazine had a profile of Natasha earlier this month, and they mentioned that she’s always cracking up her co-workers on the Orange is The New Black set. Costar Taylor Schilling said that Natasha is so funny she has trouble keeping a straight face while they’re filming.
Plus their age difference seems ok, 35 and 47 is not that drastic. These two make a cute couple, I hope it works out for them. Natasha has been through a lot and has come through the other side. She’s an excellent actress and I like to see her having success and happiness.
