Natasha Lyonne Talked Her Split With Fred Armisen in Her 'SNL' Monologue Let's Unpack Their Rela

Actors Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen have been an item for over seven years, a reality Natasha touched on while webhosting 'SNL'. Let's pass over their relationship timeline.

What do cigarettes, cockroaches, and time go back and forth have in not unusual? Fans of Netflix's Russian Doll for sure know that the Venn diagram together with these three things sees Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne at its heart. And when we say "cockroaches," we if truth be told imply cock-a-roaches.

Whether you may have been a fan of hers since her But I'm a Cheerleader days otherwise you hopped at the Natasha bandwagon when she joined the solid of Netflix's Emmy-winning ladies's jail darkish comedy collection Orange Is the New Black (she mentioned "lesbian rights!"), Natasha is an entertainment business veteran.

Given her a long time of carrier (which she's finally getting correct recognition for), it's sudden that the New Yorker and utter goddess hosted Saturday Night Live for the first actual time on May 21, 2022 — aka the emotional Season 47 finale.

Along with disclosing the truth about her "cosmic connection to SNL" and that lots of its cast contributors are her "chosen family," Natasha brought out her close friends and SNL alums Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) and Fred Armisen (Portlandia) — the latter of whom she dated for seven long years.

Perhaps there was simply too much funny in this former courtship. Let's unpack Fretasha's (we made this up, if you could not tell) relationship.

Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen started dating in 2014.

"We're the only couple who had a sex tape nobody wanted to buy," she joked at the celebrated level of Studio 8H. The two were first noticed in combination at Netflix's post-Emmys birthday party at the Chateau Marmont circa 2014, consistent with Vanity Fair. Natasha informed Glamour in 2019 that the two met via mutual friend Maya Rudolph. "I was going through a rocky road, as we know,” Natasha said, referring to her publicly tumultuous past.

Fred Armisen was likely charmed by Natasha's rough-around-the-edges intrigue, as their first encounter was as wild as we assumed it was. See, when Maya and Fred stopped by Natasha's place, she was donning a silk robe and a pair of sunglasses while chain-smoking. This woman is a gift.

“I pulled out a copy of [Legs McNeil’s oral history of punk] Please Kill Me, autographed it, and was like, ‘Welcome, kid. Fred—what a name. Happy birthday. Enjoy the book.’ He still has it,” she told Vanity Fair.

Fretasha called it quits in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Things were going smoothly for years (for all we know), as Natasha called Fred an "A-1 winner boyfriend" during a 2017 interview with Conan O'Brien on TBS's Conan.

And while we don't know the nitty-gritty details of their seven-plus years as lovers, we do know that things got a bit rocky during the dreaded pandemic. The last time Fretasha was photographed as a couple was at the 2020 Golden Globes.

In September 2021, the Daily Mail released paparazzi photos of Natasha hand in hand with a tall, curly-haired "thriller guy" at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off. Understandably, this fueled rumors of Fretasha's demise.

In April 2022, Natasha spoke about her split with Fred in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, blaming the breakup on a godforsaken swimming pool. Wait, what?

"I had been residing [in LA] with Fred [Armisen] and during COVID I truthfully suppose we broke up because I wanted a swimming pool. We love each other with regards to up to two folks can love each different and we’re still talking always, but Freddy doesn’t like a swimming pool," she explained. We truly hope you're hearing her raspy voice in your head as you read this.

"It might look like a mundane reason why for a breakup, however all through that pandemic, you’ve got to get your laps — I’m like Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer. So, I were given myself a space with a pool out in Los Angeles. So that’s the real scandal. I assume I finally am a real bicoastal."

A gal's were given to swim. All in all, we're glad to hear they are still buds and that Natasha accomplished her pandemic dream of getting her very own swimming pool.
