Judd Apatow & Leslie Mann

In 1996, Judd Apatow directed the film The Cable Guy starring Jim Carrey. Although the movie was a box office disappointment, at least one great thing came out of it. Apatow met actress, Leslie Mann.

A year later, the couple were married and they wasted no time in starting a family. Just one month after their wedding, they announced that they were expecting their first child.

The couple now have two daughters named Iris and Maude. The girls have been featured in two of Apatow’s films (Knocked Up and Funny People). In both movies, they portray the daughters of Mann’s character.

Many often say the key to a great marriage is a sense of humor. This is one couple that agrees with that. In an interview last year, Mann said that she loves how Apatow makes her laugh. But she also revealed that another important factor in their marriage involves back rubs.

“He rubs my back every single night before bed. Seriously, every single night! I’ve trained him so that he can’t fall asleep unless he’s rubbing me,” Mann told a reporter.

Sounds like this couple has definitely found the secret to making a marriage work!

Happy Anniversary!
