Andy Samberg’s Wife, Joanna Newsom, Also Has a Passion for Comedy
A talented musician, lyricist, and harpist, Joanna Newsom, have been in a relationship with Andy Samberg since 2008. Joanna is known for her groundbreaking work in the early 2000s when she signed with an independent label as a musician (harpist, to be exact). She was even crowned as one of the “best-known harpists in American indie music’ by Rolling Stone.
Joanna took harp lessons from a very young age and began studying at a folk music camp in her early teenage years. This resulted in her first transformative musical experience. She had started to compose her instrumental pieces at that time. Joanna is a gifted musical genius with great imagination and beautiful lyrical sense.
Being an incredible musician, Joanna Newsom has been releasing four full albums in total, selling thousands of records. She has also held her performance concerts for the past few years.
However, it seems that her interest is not just about music. Joanna seems to have one thing in common with Andy: comedy. She channeled her love for comedy by acting, too. She also has an acting career as a harpist in Portlandia. We’re talking about a multi-talented woman right here.

Though Andy Samberg and his wife seem to have an exciting life, they prefer to keep it under the wraps. But, it is still possible to know about their first encounter and their few stories after they got married.
The story began in 2008. Andy and Joanna met through a mutual friend. However, it wasn’t intended to pair them as romantic couples at first. Joanna asked her friend, Fred Armisen, to come to her shows, and Fred brought Andy there. Little did she know that Andy went because he was already a huge fan of her even before they met in person.

Andy wasn’t the only one, though. In one of her interviews, Joanna also admitted that she had been Andy’s fan since day one.
“I had just been with my band backstage, like an hour before, watching Just 2 Guyz. Andy has a tiny part. He plays Steve the c***. So, when I met him, he was kinda shy, and I said, ‘Oh my God, you’re Steve the c***! He always says he saw heart bubbles,” Joanna recalled her first encounter with Andy when she became a guest in Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Not long after their first meeting, the two started dating. Adam and Joanna then got engaged five years later, in February 2013. Seven months later, in September 2013, the two tied the knot in Big Sur, California, at the Post Ranch Inn. Since then, the rest is history.

Since they are extremely private, when People announced Joanna’s pregnancy and they were expecting a baby girl, many people were shocked. Joanna and Andy then decided not to reveal their daughter’s identity.
Even though their personal life might be a little secretive, Adam Samberg and Joanna Newsom have always been vocal in giving each other praises. “He’s my favorite person in the world,” Joanna said. She even added that Andy probably is the biggest fan of her music, and this was proven by himself, as he told iNews that “her music is really meaningful and she’s brilliant.”
Andy even joked about their anniversary celebrations as parents, as he told Conan O’Brien in 2017, “The first three anniversaries were very lavish. Had a fancy dinner in nice restaurants, went out dancing with her,” Andy reminisced. She’s like, ‘Thanks.’
He said that having a baby is just about sitting down with his wife while watching TV at the end of the day. “And then we’ve got the baby now. So this year, I got home. I picked a single flower out of the neighbor’s garden. I walked in, and I was like, ‘Happy anniversary.’ Let’s hope his neighbor would never find out about him picking up those flowers.
