Nominated for a Best Lead Actor Oscar for Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story (out on Netflix now), Adam Driver and his wife, Joanne Tucker, have a low-key relationship.

Driver, who tends to be private about his family life, admitted during his opening monologue on the January 25 episode of Saturday Night Live, "I’m a husband, and a father." He jokingly added, "It’s in that order though."

Tucker, who is an actress as well, and Driver met at Juilliard drama school. They've been married for six years.

The two have a nearly three-year-old son who they managed to keep private.

They made their most recent public appearance at the 2020 Golden Globes and we'll likely see them hit the red carpet at the Oscars on February 9.

Perhaps you first set eyes on (all of) Adam Driver while he starred as Lena Dunham's enthusiastic boyfriend on HBO's Girls. Or, maybe you got acquainted with him as Kylo Ren in Star Wars...or in his Oscar-nominated turn in BlacKkKlansman. And, while we're listing things, there's a chance you got to see all six foot two of him in Broadway's Burn This. Or you just streamed Marriage Story on Netflix, Noah Baumbach's heartrending portrayal of divorce, in which Driver plays opposite Scarlett Johansson, which secured him an Oscars nomination for Best Lead Actor.

No matter how you got here, you likely have quite a few questions about the former Marine who has rapidly become a Hollywood darling. Because unlike his character on Girls, who literally let it all hang out, Driver and his wife, actress Joanne Tucker, both 36, are notoriously private. So private, in fact, that they managed to keep their nearly three-year-old son a secret. Here's what we do know about Driver and Tucker's six-year marriage.

They met at Juilliard.

After two years in the Marine Corp, Driver broke his sternum mountain biking, ending his tenure as a civil servant. Though he was devastated not to continue the call of duty with the soldiers he trained with, he told GQ that ultimately his dismissal led him into acting.

"The Marine Corps is supposed to be the toughest and most rigorous of its class," Driver says, comparing it to the highly competitive performing arts school. "Obviously the stakes are different. You have the risk of getting shot or killed in one and just embarrassed in the other. I thought, 'This will be easy.'"

While attending school in New York, he met Joanne Tucker, who has also appeared on Girls (but more on that later). They currently live in Brooklyn.

Adam Driver and Joanne Tucker got married in 2013.

While we don't know much about their June 22 super-secret destination ceremony, we can only assume that the reception featured a bounty of charcuterie, based on an interview Driver gave to Broadway.com. The Indiana-raised actor joked that unlike his wife, who grew up in New York, he wasn't savvy in the ways of the city, so she had to enlighten him.



"She taught me what Gouda cheese is," he said. "And that you shouldn't talk with your mouth full and spit on the sidewalk."

They have a nearly three-year-old son who they managed to keep secret.

There were rumors circulating that the two had a sneaky baby. Many media sites pointed to this W Magazine interview in which Driver said, "I look at my dog—this sounds so absurd—but it’s not—I don’t know if I can love anything more. Like, I have a kid, maybe—and be like, ya know, but the dog!” Awkward laughter ensued.

Then, while promoting Logan Lucky with Channing Tatum, the interviewer brought up martinis, as you do. “I don’t have parties, because the world is a sad place and full of anger," Driver said. Tatum then slid in, “Can you imagine you’re just making martinis for your baby,” Driver quipped, "Stop crying. This is my party trick. You’ll have your time. This is me time now."

It wasn't until an October interview with the New Yorker, however, that Driver confirmed that they are indeed parents. The former Marine likened keeping their baby secret as “a military operation.” He said, wistfully, “My job is to be a spy—to be in public and live life and have experience. But, when you feel like you’re the focus, it’s really hard to do that.”

And, during his opening monologue on the January 25 episode of Saturday Night Live, he admitted, "I’m a husband, and a father. It’s in that order though. I’ve been very clear with my son about that. He’s second to everything."

So, what's Joanne been in?

Besides a cameo on Girls (if you're so inclined, you can watch it here) and Showtime’s Billions, she's been seen in the film Zero Days (among others) and has done voice-over work in Ken Burns’ Prohibition and the Roosevelts. She also has a slew of off-Broadway credits.

They are also dog parents.

Tucker and Driver share a Rottweiler-pit bull called Moose. His interests include eating tennis balls.

Together, they founded the Arts in the Armed Forces charity.

Inspired by his own time in the Marines, the organization's goal is to connect active duty service members, vets, military support staff, and their families around the world to theater, at no cost.

"It’s [aim is] to bring thought-provoking theater-based troop entertainment to an audience that wouldn’t normally be associated with theater," Driver told the Guardian.

Despite being low-key, they have attended the Oscars.

Yep, that was Tucker on Driver's arm at the 2019 Academy Awards.

Though you'll rarely catch Driver grinning on the red carpet, he shared on SNL, "People think I hate red carpet stuff, and I do, but it’s just because I’m bad at smiling. I look like a kidnapped person trying to send a message with my eyes." Though we don't entirely agree, at least Tucker's striking looks distract from that.

And she's been by his side as he's promoted Marriage Story.

Pretty soon, we'll be able to (presumably) peep them at the Tony's. Provided they're not too busy, oh, say, taking care of their (probably fake) mystery child—or, much more likely Moose.
