TIME reported in 2025 that Fey had been in a relationship with Richmond for more than half her life at the time. That retrospective description does not establish an exact meeting or wedding date, so neither should be inferred from it. The Television Academy’s biography identifies Richmond as Fey’s husband and says she lives in New York with him and their two daughters; that residence detail is attributed to the biography and may change.
