Actress Kat Dennings and singer Andrew W.K are married!

The couple exchanged vows during a "small home wedding" in November 2023.

“I wanted our wedding to feel completely different from an ‘industry event’ in every way,” Dennings told Vogue. “I even handmade all of our wedding florals, aisle pieces, and our ceremony arch, which took three entire days. I wanted to be hands-on with the entire experience and feel like we had built our moment together from scratch.”

The Two Broke Girls star surprised her fans in May 2021 by announcing that she was engaged to W.K. The news came as a shock to many as the couple had only just revealed their relationship earlier that month.

While the exact timeframe of their romance is unknown, Dennings previously revealed that her and W.K's engagement came as a surprise to the couple themselves.

"Not planned. No knee down — I don't even remember what happened after that," she said during a February 2022 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. "We just were like 'Should we get married?' And 'Yes.' I just burst into tears."

From their online flirtation to their surprise engagement, here's everything to know about Kat Dennings and Andrew W.K.'s relationship.
