  • Pretty, pretty, pretty different: the cantankerous comedian may be childless and currently dating a woman he hates on screen, but in real life he’s fared much better
  • The Seinfeld creator is married to Sacha Baron Cohen collaborator Ashley Underwood, and has 2 accomplished and glamorous daughters – one of whom dated SNL Lothario Pete Davidson

In HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David – playing a more exaggerated version of himself – first has a long-suffering wife named Cheryl, then a series of unfortunate girlfriends, and certainly no children or pets. In fact, his only interactions with kids end in disaster, and the same can be said of the animals on the show.

David’s IRL wife is Ashley Underwood, a producer known for working on two of Sasha Baron Cohen’s projects: Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and the TV series Who is America.

In fact, it was at Baron Cohen’s birthday party in 2017 that the pair met, according to an interview David gave to The New York Times. The pair were seated next to each other at dinner and it was going swimmingly – until he abruptly got up and left.

“Much to her surprise, I left before dessert. I was doing so well, banter-wise, I didn’t want to risk staying too long and blowing the good impression,” the comedian told the paper. It seemed to work: the couple moved in together in 2019 and married in 2020, per People.
