All the Deets on Kathryn Hahn’s College Sweetheart-Turned-Husband, Ethan Sandler
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Nearly two decades after her breakout film role in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Kathryn Hahn is still playing characters we're obsessed with. Case in point? The hilarious Carla Dunkler of the Bad Moms franchise plus a fictional wicked witch in the Disney+ series WandaVision (which, BTW, is getting a spinoff series with Kathryn's character Agatha Harkness front and center).
After decades in the public eye, fans know a lot about Kathryn, but a somewhat more private subject is her college sweetheart-turned-husband Ethan Sandler. Here's what to know about Kathryn Hahn's husband and their sweet 'ship.
Ethan is also in ~show business~
According to his IMDb, Ethan has spent his fair share of time in Tinseltown, starting as an actor with minor roles on popular TV shows like Sex and the City and Will & Grace, plus films like The Bourne Supremacy and The Princess Diaries. Later on in his career, he added "film producer" and "writer" to his resume and began to work behind the camera on My Boys, Whitney, and New Girl.
Per Deadline, Ethan even signed a deal in 2017 to become executive producer of the CBS sitcom Man With a Plan alongside Adrian Wenner, a title the two held all the way through the show’s end in 2020.
He and Kathryn are college sweethearts
The pair first crossed paths in college at Northwestern University, where they were both studying theater, and they almost immediately hit it off. Was I personally there to witness their origin story? No. BUT these two began living in a dorm together soon after they met, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Ethan and Kathryn then went on to move in with each other in New York City after graduating to pursue their careers.
They got married in 2002
On the 10th anniversary of their relationship in 2002, the two apparently decided to elope and celebrate all of their years together.
^The literal textbook definition of picture perfect, NBD!
They have two kids together
Their oldest child, Leonard, was born in 2006, and Kathryn and Ethan also share another, May, who was born three years later in 2009. Despite Kathryn's fame, she says they still “live a pretty normal life.” In 2018, the actor told Parade, “I have cute kids and a hubby forever and two dogs and a rabbit and now a hamster...So I have this rich and creative life but also a normal life, and I’ve been able to keep the two separate and holy. I don’t do social media either. I invited my daughter to the Hotel Transylvania 3 premiere over the summer. We had a ball, and it was a really sweet movie but I think that was the first and last time we do that.” @ Kathryn if you're reading this...I'm always avail!
Ethan and Kathryn have shared the screen together
Ya know what they say! The couple who works together, stays together. (They say that, right?) It's the case for this couple, who starred in the same show, Crossing Jordan, while it was on the air.
The crime drama was broadcast from 2001 to 2007, during which Kathryn and Ethan played an engaged couple, because of course they did. According to Suggest, during season 6 of the show, Kathryn's character Lily even became pregnant with Ethan's character's child. And I know what you're thinking: pics or it didn't happen. Well, lucky for us, Getty Images is fully a thing and nothing can ever really be erased from the internet. Et voilà:
They really love animals
Last year, Kathryn opened up about new additions to the couple's home: “We’re fostering kittens currently. This is our third litter. My 11-year-old convinced me it would be a good thing to do since there are a lot of shelters that need help. But, you know, you walk into my guest room, and it’s urine-town right now, for sure. [Laughs] But it’s cute as hell. And it’s all on her, all her responsibility. I’m very proud of that lady.” Even a few years earlier in 2018, the actor referred to herself and the rest of her family as “animal hoarders.” Love it 🥺❤️.
Aaaaaand that's pretty much all we know so far about Ethan! But rest assured, there will likely be more to come because these two are just so cute.
