While Brian Baumgartner is well-known for his hilarious character, Kevin Malone, on "The Office," the actor also has an interesting private life. In April 2014, the then 41-year-old tied the knot with his sweetheart, Celeste Ackelson, in a backyard weekend wedding.

His co-stars from "The Office," excluding Steve Carell, were present at the wedding. This included John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, and Oscar Nunez.

This is not surprising since Baumgartner considers his "The Office" co-stars his second family. The year before, as their show came to an end, he acknowledged the connection he developed with them. "We’ve all grown up together. Our lives have changed together," he confessed.

Baumgartner doesn't post any Instagram pictures of Ackelson, but he's uploaded images of Brylee on a few occasions. However, his little girl's face is never visible in the photos.

In 2016, he celebrated the Easter holidays by sharing an adorable picture of Brylee on a golf field. The little girl was wearing a polka-dot outfit as she fiddled with a flag. Baumgartner joked that she was the "best caddy ever."

In September of that year, Brylee returned to social media, appearing shirtless while sitting in a corner exploring some papers. Baumgartner hilariously revealed that Brylee was being resourceful that day, "helping Grandpa pay some bills."

Next to her was an older man sitting at a desk wearing glasses as he focused on the task. He had some papers, envelopes, and a pen in front of him and was in deep concentration while the actor's child did her own thing on the floor.
