Who is Tig Notaro married to? All about her wife as comedian reveals twin sons reaction to recently finding out she's gay

Tig Notaro's children have recently discovered that their mother and her wife Stephanie Allynne are gay. This was disclosed by Notaro while appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on June 4, 2024, when she was questioned on how she has been celebrating the pride month.

Notaro and Allyne tied the knot in 2015 and the latter is also a popular face in the entertainment industry. She has appeared on TV shows such as UCB Comedy Originals and The Midnight Show.

The actress stated that she and Allyne were sitting inside the car along with the kids when they had a conversation "about gay" and one of their sons, Finn, suddenly asked, "You're gay?" She added:

"We're like three minutes now from the school and I start explaining what gay is. And then while I was explaining it, I started getting insecure, thinking, what if he doesn't like this?"

Tig Notaro then questioned her sons on their feelings about everything that has been revealed to them and Finn responded by saying that he loves his family. Notaro addressed the situation by saying:

"We drop them off at school and we're like 'bye!' and we truly drove off going like half-a-mile-an-hour, like 'How on earth do our kids not know we're gay?' Because, dare I say, we're also an iconic gay couple."
