Soon after hitting things off, they started sharing a dorm together and even moved to New York's Hell's Kitchen to pursue their acting career after they graduated.

They eloped in 2002, on the day of their 10th anniversary, and have been together ever since.

After Hahn and Sandler's careers took off, they moved to Los Angeles to further pursue acting roles.

In 2006, the duo welcomed their first child, a son named Leonard. Three years later, Kathryn Hahn and Sandler became parents to a daughter, Mae.

While speaking to Parade magazine in 2018, Kathryn Hahn revealed that despite being in the spotlight, the family lives a "pretty normal life."

She said:

"I have cute kids and a hubby forever and two dogs and a rabbit and now a hamster...So I have this rich and creative life but also a normal life, and I’ve been able to keep the two separate and holy."

Kathryn Hahn, who also trained at Yale School of Drama after graduating from Northwestern University, revealed that she was insecure when she started out. While talking to IndieWire, she opened up about the advice she would give her older self, stating:

“If I could’ve shaken hands with that awesome, insecure, passionate, 22-year-old that moved to New York, I would have told her that same thing. The person I knew who knew could do it, who was really passionate."

She continued:

"I knew she wanted to do plays and she wanted to rehearse Hamlet at 2:00 in the morning and was all messy and passionate and chain-smoking in some theater group, but thought that she just wasn’t quite polished or good enough to make it in the business. Because you’re trying to be somebody you’re not, instead of just being who you are.”

As per her IMDb, Hahn will next star in Tiny Beautiful Things and Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
