Her son, Keaton, was born on March 1, 2022 via surrogate.
At that point, she and Armisen had only been dating a few weeks.
“I was ready to date him, I didnt know what it would turn into, she said.
I thought maybe I would be a single mom with a boyfriend.
I didnt know what would happen.
I didnt even know if he was interested at first I didnt know anything.
But it was a natural evolution.”
“We got married in a courthouse,” she explained.
“It’s not a secret, but we didnt really tell people.
We didnt announce it or anything.
And we thought people would hear about it eventually.
And thats what happened, one friend at a time.”
Their wedding lasted only three minutes at the courthouse and that they went for ice cream afterwards.
“I didnt even tell my mom,” she confessed.
I never wanted to get married.
I am not a wedding person.
Its not for me.
But this was just for us.
We just wanted to be like, ‘Guess what we did a few months ago?'"
Instead, she was often torn between her developing feelings for Armisen and the prospect of new motherhood.
“I said, All I want is the truth.
If you feel in your gut that’s not for you, it doesn’t make you a jerk.
I’m not mad at you, she recounted.
“I said, I still think you’re the best.
I just want you to really feel what you feel.
And then be honest about it because it’s a big life-altering thing.
And he said, ‘Okay, okay.'”
Lindhome told Armisen she loved him two weeks before Keaton was born.
That’s what I knew.
So I was like, ‘Okay, let’s explore,'” she remembered.
“Then it unfolded naturally over time.
I wasn’t like, ‘You’re the dad.’
I was like, I want to have dinner with you.
My thought was, I want to kiss you.
I want to see you.
Then it just kept going.”

“It was something we had to find together and see if it could work,” she concluded.
“Every relationship has a different pace.
Mine was faster because I was in a different circumstance.
But we just went at the pace that was natural.
It didn’t feel rushed.
We just found our rhythm together.
It felt like it just was good.”
