Mikey Day's Wife: The SNL Star Dated Selma Blair and Now Has a Son with Paula Christensen

Mikey Day's on-screen work garners attention, and his personal life has also piqued curiosity, especially his love life from his previous relationship with Selma Blair to embarking on a journey of fatherhood with Paula Christensen.

Mickey Day, born Michael William Day, was previously romantically involved with actress Selma Blair, whom he dated dating in December 2008.

The former couple first hit it off while filming the American sitcom, "Kath & Kim," which premiered in May 2002 on Fox and aired for four seasons.

The series followed the mother, Kath (Molly Shannon), and daughter Kim (Selma Blair), who had just parted ways from her spouse, Craig (Day). Blair admitted she "fell in love" with her on-screen love interest while filming the show.

However, the two only started dating once filming ended but broke up in 2009. It remains unclear when they split in real life and Day and since moved on with someone else.

It is unclear whether she is Day's wife or fiancee at the time of this publication. In October 2019, she posted a black and white photo of the couple on Instagram and captioned it:

“[…] I love you @thepaulaverse. Thank you for everything you do and for loving me, a full idiot."

Christensen also penned an appreciation post for Day in March 2021. She posted a snapshot of the movie star and captioned it, "Thanks for being born."

Later that year, in September, she shared a snapshot of them kissing and wrote, "[…] Love you, baby. So glad I get to go through this leg of our journey together. Pic from 2011 when the stranger we asked to take our pic got all artsy."

Christensen posted another picture of the couple passionately locking lips on her Instagram account in March 2022. She captioned the post:

"Taken 10 years ago today. Still feel this way about you @mikeyfuntime. Happy Birthday, baby. Here's to many more."

Mikey Day & Christensen Share a Son

Christensen and Day share one child, a son named Abbott. The couple reportedly welcomed their child in August 2012, who is a constant feature on their social media.

In October 2016, the actor posted a snap of his son facing away from the camera while looking at pumpkins on a farm. "Choose wisely, child," the doting dad wrote.

The game show host shared what he described as his "favorite picture" with Abbott on his Instagram in April 2018. He posted a photo of him holding his child, who was fast asleep.

Two years later, in April 2020, he shared a picture of Christensen and their son and revealed, "My son and his mama attending a Harry Potter themed birthday cake-cutting via Zoom."

Young Abbott has also accompanied his famous father to work. He became a fixture on "SNL" when his father worked from home for the show amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The youngster experienced fun opportunities, including seeing BTS when they performed as musical guests and running into actor Michael Keaton.

In a June 2023 interview, Day, who hosts the Netflix game show "Is It Cake?" revealed his favorite guest on-set was his beloved son. "It's fun to show him aspects of it, and think it's probably something he'll truly appreciate when he gets older," the father of one said of his son.
