Why this Vogue writer wants what Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson have
; hearing her enunciate the nonsense name Nunni was enough to convince me that she was the funniest woman on earth.
Naturally, the funniest woman on earth can’t be expected to settle down with just anyone, and my parasocial standards for Rudolph arehigh; if she were dating some no-name comedian or had married some A-list, sharp-jawed actor douchebag, it would probably bum me out. Luckily, she’s been in a relationship with director Paul Thomas Anderson since 2001, and I like his movies, so there you go.
One of my favorite aspects of Rudolph and Anderson’s nearly two-decade-long courtship is their evident gift at naming babies. The couple has four children, who—with the names Pearl, Lucille, Ida, and Jack—sound less like a group of kids than a mishpachah of Jewish elders getting together in the sauna at the JCC to complain about the state of the world today. , was even inspired by Rudolph’s reaction when Anderson had the flu.
to describe Anderson, particularly after the two had their first child, but personally I prefer to believe that she and Anderson are engaging in a silent protest against the cultural hegemony of marriage. Either way, I love Rudolph and Anderson’s love, and any couple that manages to make it work with four kids—even if they have nannies round the clock and all the other trappings of fame—has my admiration forever. Ultimately, no amount of childcare or wealth takes the sting out of having to change four diapers in a row.
