Lily Tomlin Celebrated New Year’s Eve By Getting Married To Longtime Partner

Comedy icon Lily Tomlin made it legal with her frequent collaborator and romantic partner of 42 years, writer Jane Wagner, when the two women married on New Year’s Eve.

Word about the happy occasion came via entertainment columnist Liz Smith, who noted:

And my longtime friends, Lily Tomlin and her love, the writer Jane Wagner, got married on the eve of 2014. … My wish is that their happiness will be as great as their combined talents.”

So do we! Last August Tomlin discussed the Supreme Court ruling on DOMA and Prop. 8 with E!’s Marc Malkin, saying that she and Wagner never thought they’d live to see marriage equality and they were considering tying the knot. Tomlin said that if it happened, it wouldn’t be a traditional ceremony.

“No rings, no bridal dresses,” she said. “Maybe we’ll be dressed like chickens.”

This is one wedding album we’re eager to see.
