THOUGHT SHE WAS STRAIGHT

Unlike most people, Allynne did not always know she was gay. At least not until Notaro came into the picture. The duo met on the set of the 2013 movie "In a World" but related only as co-stars.

While at Sundance the following year, Allynne and Notaro reunited. It was there that the couple's love story kickstarted.

Allynne found herself gravitating towards Notaro and wanting to spend more time with her but was left confused because she had always identified as straight.

The actress was sent into an identity crisis spiral that burdened her with the need to have a label. Was she straight? Was she bisexual? Was she gay? These were the questions on her mind.

In commemoration of Mother's Day in May 2018, Notaro shared a few tips on how she infuses her comedy career into motherhood.

But it was not until six months later that Alynne finally realized she needed to stop putting herself in a box. She began owning and enjoying her feelings for Notaro, and eventually, they officially started dating.

Though she dated several men before meeting Notaro, the actress once admitted that she was never in any long-term relationship and had never really been in love.

But with Notaro, everything was different. Being in love was easy and even better; there were no doubts, perhaps because they've always been comfortable with each other.

For the actress, pursuing a relationship with Notaro felt like she was committing to spend the rest of her life with the comedian, so it came as no surprise that they eventually did.

In January of 2015, Notaro and Allynne shared the exciting news that they had gotten engaged during the New Year holiday.

Ten months later, they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony reportedly graced by some of Hollywood's finest stars including Sarah Silverman and Jessica Williams.

Ever since, fans of the couple have continued to watch their love blossom; Notaro and Allynne never hesitate to gush over each other publicly.

Now approaching the sixth year of their marriage, Allynne and Notaro continue to dote on each other, and even better, these two have proven that sometimes, love is enough.
