Their beautiful love story

A marital union spanning more than two decades in an industry renowned for its rocky relationships is worthy of acclaim. It’s just a far cry from the pattern that’s been seen in Hollywood with celebrity marriages and relationships where separation and divorce are more like a default setting in such unions.

This is not to say that marriage is problem free or has had its storm free sail, but it is more like a survivor amidst all the inconveniences and many challenges that such a union battles. Nancy Carell and Steve Carell have been married since 1995 and have remained one of show business’s strongest couples. Let’s take a look at their cute love story.

How did they meet?

The beautiful love story presented in the troupe, The second city where Nancy was a student in a class taught by Steve. However, contrary to what you might think, the two comedic forces didn’t get along at first, despite being attracted to each other. Steve revealed that asking her out was kind of a herculean task as he kept beating around the bush for a long time.

He first thought that the lady he was interested in (Nancy) hated him because she acted calm around him even though he knew at first sight that she was his. But the truth was that she was just as nervous as he was and was just trying to act cool.

Still, the thought of possibly being rejected brought to mind his memory of the first girl he called out on a date in eighth grade. He received a NO for an answer, and from that time until Nancy’s acceptance, was cautious in his journey.

He didn’t start off on a fancy note but said something like if he had to ask someone out, it would be someone like her. Stupid right? But guess what? Nancy was right to give him a more awkward answer. She replied that if someone like Steve asked her out, she would definitely go out with him. If ever such a person existed and was certain, Steve was there of course. They were already in love with each other but didn’t know how to present their case.

In any case, this was only the beginning of their happily ever after. They then won a date and had their first date at the Green Mill jazz club. The tandem bonded on August 5, 1995. The journey was characterized by endless happiness.

Family life, children

The couple share the same sense of humor, although Steve doesn’t think his wife is an easy laugh. He counted that as one of the many reasons he loves her. He considers Nancy the best indicator of the quality of jokes and says she challenges him intellectually and comically. Comically because she’s not someone who’s going to laugh at everything everyone does.

He then added that Nancy Carell, his wife is the smartest and funniest person he has ever met. And that he had never assumed that such a smart and attractive woman would be remotely interested in him.

She played her husband’s love several times. For example, in The Office where she portrayed a friend of hers and appeared with him on a number of shows, including The Daily Show

Nancy Carell said of her husband that he was very funny and didn’t try so hard. They have two children, daughter Elisabeth (born May 25, 2001) and son John “Johnny” (born June 2004).

Predictably, their children seem to have inherited their parents’ sense of humor, described by their parents as very pure and honest in an interview.

The super-cute couple own a home in Los Angeles, as well as Marshfield, Massachusetts, where they have the option of escaping celebrity life during the summer. The duo also own The Marshfield Hills general store which they bought in 2009.
