WARNING: This article contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy.
The Umbrella Academy has welcomed Jean and Gene into the fold and fans are curious to know more about their real-life romance.
Season four marks the beginning of the end of the Netflix drama and will conclude for good after its release on Thursday, August 8. In the final appearance, the siblings meet the leaders of the Keepers, an organization that wants to restore the one true timeline, Gene and Jean Thibedeau (portrayed by Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally).
The unlikely pair has caught the attention of subscribers, especially fans of the comedians who bring Gene and Jean to life in the Netflix series The Umbrella Academy.
The Umbrella Academy’s newcomers, Gene and Jean, are portrayed by real-life couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally.
While Nick is best known for his role as Ron Swanson on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation, Mullally starred behind Karen Walker on the NBC series Will and Grace. And it was in the early days of Will and Grace that Mullally’s path first crossed with that of her future husband.
Nick and Megan met in 2000 when they both starred in The Berlin Circle at the Evidence Room Theatre in Los Angeles.
Megan told Buzzfeed in 2013, “We had a lot of scenes together and I thought, ‘Wait a minute, he’s funny.’ And then I thought, ‘Wait a minute, is he cute?’ What’s going on?”
In 2010, she also confided in New York Magazine and explained that the two had only started dating after the previews of The Berlin Circle, but had not been apart since.
The couple became engaged in London in 2002 and married a year later, in 2003, on the night before the Emmy Awards at their home in Los Angeles.
Over the years, they have worked together on numerous projects and made cameo appearances in “Parks and Recreation” and “Will and Grace.”
These include “The Kings Of Summer,” “Hotel Transylvania,” and “Stealing Harvard.” He also co-authored the 2018 book “The Greatest Story Ever Told” and hosted the podcast “In Bed With Nick And Megan.”
Although it seems like the couple is constantly working, it is important for both of them to take a step back from time to time.
Megan told People in 2016, “My favorite thing to do is just stay home with the dogs and read or watch movies and be together. We really like each other and try to get along well.”
“I feel like Nick and I have the best relationship and the best marriage.”
“The Umbrella Academy” can be watched on Netflix.
