When did Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen date?

Lyonne, 43, confirmed her split with Armisen, 55, to on April 15, 2022.

The Russian Doll star told the outlet that the former couple was living together at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

She said that some might think their breakup was over a "mundane" reason but that it was important to her.

"I had been there living with Fred [Armisen] and during COVID. I honestly think we broke up because I wanted a swimming pool.

"We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we’re still talking all the time, but Freddy doesn’t like a swimming pool.

"It might seem like a mundane reason for a breakup, but during that pandemic, you’ve got to get your laps — I’m like Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer. So, I got myself a house with a pool out in Los Angeles. So that’s the real scandal. I guess I finally am an actual bicoastal," she concluded.
