Does Maya Erskine Have a Husband? The Actress Has a Son with 'This Is Us' Star Michael Angarano
Maya Erskine is engaged to her potential future husband, Michael Angarano. They made their relationship public in September 2019.
Erskine is famous for her acting roles in the comedy "PEN15," which she also co-created and co-executive produced, and the movie, "Wine Country." She is set to play a lead role in the first season of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," a series reboot of the 2005 film of the same name.
With her professional life on the up, the personal side of things is going quite well for the actress, who has been in a long-term relationship with Michael Angarano. The pair are currently engaged and welcomed their first child together in 2021.
Maya Erskine's Partner Is the 'This Is Us' Actor Michael Angarano
Erskine and Angarano have been together for at least two and a half years. It is not certain how their love story started or when they began dating, but the couple became Instagram official in September 2019 when Angarano shared a selfie of the two at the Emmy Awards. A humorous caption was attached to the photo:
"[O]hhh look who it is sitting right behind me completely randomly at an awards show in which we were both nominated who i also happen to be in love with."
Since that moment, the couple has been seen together more frequently. They occasionally post each other on their social media platforms, attend many award shows arm-in-arm and walk the red carpet together.
Angarano is a native of New York, where he was born on December 3, 1987. Despite not being one of the biggest names in Hollywood, he has been in and around the Showbiz industry for almost three decades and has been in over 70 productions. His first appearance was as David Duchovny's son on "Saturday Night Live" in 1995.
In 2000, he was in "Almost Famous" starring Kate Hudson, and in 2005, he played one of the lead roles in "Sky High" alongside Kurt Russell and the late Kelly Preston. Three years later, he featured in "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the lead roles. He played Cyrus Kinnick in "Wild Card," starring Jason Statham.
Maya Erskine and Michael Angarano Got Engaged in 2020, but They Appear Not to Be Married Yet
Erskine and Angarano were very private about their relationship when they first began dating. No publicly available information explains how they met or how their relationship developed. However, in late 2019, the pair seemed to have been in love for quite some time.
The following year in November, the couple made a double announcement when Angarano revealed that they were expecting and were engaged via his Instagram page. The post with the great news included a picture of the pair and Erskine sporting a baby bump.
Although they don't reveal too much about their personal lives, Angarano and Erskine are not shy to show off each other to the world. The couple occasionally share photos of themselves together with captions that praise and declare love for each other.
Michael Angarano and Maya Erskine Are Proud Parents of a Son Named Leon
After their late 2020 announcement, Angarano and Erskine became parents for the first time when they welcomed their son, Leon Frederick, in May 2021. Hollywood personalities, including Emily Osment, Brenda Song and Angarano's "This Is Us" co-star, Mandy Moore, celebrated the news of his birthday.
Erskine said she learned about the pregnancy at Angarano's parents' house in July. She broke the news to her closest people after a doctor had confirmed it.
Erskine continued to work after giving birth. During those days, she was starring in season two of the cringe comedy show, "PEN15." "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" starman Andy Samberg was an executive producer on the show.
A photograph shared by her fiancé showed the actress breastfeeding in between setups during an episode she was directing. He praised her, saying, "[Y]ou are incredible as an actor, a writer, a showrunner, a director, and a mom. [W]e love you and are so grateful for you in our lives (I'm speaking on mine and Leon's behalf)."
