How did Leslie Mann meet Judd Apatow?
Mann and Apatow have been married for 26 years but they never fail to shower each other with immense love. The couple, who are proud parents of Maude and Iris, first met in 1995 when she auditioned for his movie ‘The Cable Guy’. "There goes the future, Mrs. Apatow. I had a soul connection instantly. I meant it. That's why I remember it," Apatow told Elle, recalling that moment.
Their first meet undoubtedly left Apatow mesmerized but he decided to take some before persuading Mann to go on a date with him. On their first date, he cooked her a dinner of "spaghetti with Ragu sauce and Wonder bread with Fleischmann's margarine" before taking her to a basketball game. "On the way to the basketball game, I was like ... Oh! It hit me. My previous boyfriend was really mean. And I thought, [Apatow's] nice. This is the type of person I should be with. And then we made out after the game," Mann told Elle in 2012, adding, "I slept over, but nothing happened. We just kissed a lot. But I remember driving home feeling so happy and like... I felt like I was already in love."
‘I feel like I do not know him at all'
The couple soon started dating and a year after ‘The Cable Guy’ came out they exchanged vows in Miami. Just six months after their marriage, the newlyweds welcomed their daughter, Maude, on December 15, 1997. Their family grew in 2002 when they welcomed their second daughter, Iris.
In 2022, Mann opened up about their marriage and said she was still getting to know her husband after more than two decades of being married to him. "I feel so lucky that I get to spend my life with him. He really is a good person. And at the same time, I feel like I do not know him at all. Who is this person walking around my house, eating my food, and sneaking off into his little secret room doing secret things?" she joked on 'Live! With Kelly and Ryan'.
