'When I first met my husband, it was kind of — we had a one-night stand,' she said on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2021. 'We’re in a two, three-year one-night stand now. I saw him before he saw me, and when I saw him, I was like, "I want that". And then when he saw me, I just pretended like I didn’t see him. He had to yell across the room to me.'
