“By going to see their live shows over the years, I’ve gotten an idea of the core facet of their movement,” he said in a 2014 New Yorker story about Glazer and her Broad City co-star Abbi Jacobson. “If you remove the divide between performer and audience, you have something else. It’s like a collaboration.” Offstage, Glazer brings her spontaneous sense of humor to her relationship with Rooklin, even once cutting off his long blond hair while preparing for a movie role. “We went to Australia and we were staying up to reset our sleep schedule and we were like, ‘Let’s shave your head,’” she toldKelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest in 2019, adding, “I braided the hair and no joke, I’m bringing it to a wig fitting on Friday to sew into a wig for a movie I’m doing.” While her comedy is often unfiltered, Glazer is typically pretty private when it comes to her love life. But the comedian, who stars in the Apple TV+ murder mystery series The Afterparty (premiering Friday, Jan. 28, 2022), doesn’t keep everything about her marriage a mystery. Read on for everything we know about her husband, David Rooklin.
When did Ilana Glazer meet husband David Rooklin?
Just like her Broad City character, Glazer is no stranger to adventures in New York City, so it’s only fitting that she met Rooklin in Washington Square Park. “I met him after FX passed [on Broad City] and before Comedy Central picked up the show,” Glazer told Ripa in June 2017, adding, “We just made eyes and it was like, ‘Damn.’ She continued, “It came together kind of quickly. Just because it was all there already… It was crazy. It was pretty casual and just chill.”

As his bio explains, “Redesign Science develops and applies a molecular dynamics-driven platform for in silico drug discovery against emerging drug target classes.

Glazer and Rooklin welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in 2021. The actress shared a first glimpse at their little one in July, posting an Instagram photo of herself breast-feeding and writing, “Been breastfeedin’ in compression socks for the past three weeks, hbu?” Rooklin seemed to subtly announce the big news on social media a week before, posting a drawing of a mother and baby, which he dubbed a “quick sketch of new mom.” The New York native previously bared her bump in the March issue of Entertainment Weekly, telling the publication, “There are certain trends in society of how pregnancy should look—the ‘shoulda coulda wouldas’ that are put on women all the time but are so amplified in pregnancy. I’m specifically seeking out the most spiritually healthy and welcoming experience.” Her pregnancy happened to coincide with the release of Hulu’s False Positive, a thriller where she plays a woman undergoing IVF treatments. “This was not supposed to happen this way, but it’s just so eerie and cosmically funny that it has,” Glazer added to EW. “I’m lucky; I’m in control, unlike our protagonist. I don’t feel like I’m having the rug pulled out from under me in any way.” Next, Jennifer Lawrence Is Pregnant! Get to Know the Oscar Winner’s Marriage to Husband Cooke Maroney
