Kristen Wiig, star of the beloved Bridesmaids, appears to be headed down the aisle herself, with reports that she and long-term boyfriend Avi Rothman are engaged.

The couple began dating three years ago, but have kept their relationship relatively low-profile, largely avoiding media coverage and rarely being photographed together.
They were spotted on holiday Kauai, Hawaii in 2016, at which point a source said that they had been “secretly dating a few months” and were “really happy together.”
They were also spotted alongside Saturday Night Live cast-member Leslie Jones at the American Museum of Natural History‘s Museum Gala that same year.
Kristen Wiig stepped out wearing what appeared to be a fancy engagement ring at the Los Angeles premiere of Booksmart back in May, sparking rumours of an impending wedding.
A report in People confirmed their engagement this week.
Wiig was previously married to actor Hayes Hargrove, but the pair divorced in 2009 after four years together.
She will appear as the villain Cheetah in next year’s Wonder Woman 1984, and is also set to voice a character in animated series Bless The Harts, alongside Maya Rudolph.
Avi Rothman is an actor, writer and director who trained with The Groundlings, the same LA-based improv comedy troup where his fiancee got her start.
Anyway, if you need me, I’ll be watching old SNL clips for the rest of the day.
