    Riki Lindhome and Fred Armisen are married — and have been since 2022.

    Not only did the couple tie the knot two years ago, but they have been raising baby boy Keaton, now 2, together since his March 2022 arrival via surrogate .

    The actress, 45, was expecting the little one via a donated sperm and egg when she started to develop feelings for Armisen, she told People on Wednesday.

    The longtime friends were filming “Wednesday” at the time and moved “fast.”

    In fact, Lindhome told the actor, 57, that she loved him during their first dinner date — leaving Armisen “shock[ed].”

    Their journey to “insta-family” was a “natural evolution,” she said.

    “I thought maybe I would be a single mom with a boyfriend,” she recalled. “I didn’t know what would happen. I didn’t even know if he was interested at first — I didn’t know anything.”

    However, when Lindhome introduced 3-week-old Keaton to Armisen when he returned from a work trip abroad, the comedian was ready for fatherhood.

    “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 said at the time.

    “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. … So you just tell me what your heart says,'” Lindhome continued — to which Armisen replied, “Yes.”

    Lindhome and the infant moved into his home, and the couple had a courthouse wedding three months later.

    “The wedding was three minutes long and then we got some ice cream,” the bride gushed, saying she was “not a wedding person.”

    The newlyweds kept their nuptials a secret — even from Lindhome’s mom.

    “This was just for us,” she explained. “We didn’t really tell people. We didn’t announce it or anything. And we thought people would hear about it eventually. And that’s what happened, one friend at a time.”

    Lindhome insisted that their whirlwind romance wasn’t “rushed.”

    She claimed, “Mine was faster because I was in a different circumstance. But we just went at the pace that was natural. … We just found our rhythm together.”

    While the marriage is the singer’s first, Armisen was previously married to Sally Timms from 1998 to 2004 and Elisabeth Moss from 2009 to 2011.

    The “Handmaid’s Tale” alum, 41, blasted her ex in a 2014 New York Magazine interview, calling their time together “extremely traumatic and awful and horrible.”

    Two years later, Armisen admitted to Marc Maron that he had “a problem with intimacy” in both marriages and self-sabotaged the unions with “cheating and infidelity” that he was “neither ashamed or proud of.”
