Adam Scott, the guy you know from Parks and Rec, Severance, and that one time he terrorized Ben Stiller in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, has a love story that’s way more charming than anything Hollywood could script. Back in 1998, a friend dragged him to a bar on Sunset Boulevard and introduced him to Naomi Sablan. The vibe? Awkward at first. Naomi bolted almost immediately—later joking she’d heard “actor” and noped out. But fate wasn’t done with them. When Naomi saw Adam perform onstage later, something clicked. Fast-forward seven years, and they were married in 2005, ditching big wedding drama for something low-key and personal.
Naomi isn’t just “Adam Scott’s wife”—she’s a powerhouse producer who got her start in late-night TV, hustling as a segment producer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! during its chaotic first year. She’s the brains behind films like Fun Mom Dinner and Other People, and together, she and Adam run their production company, Gettin’ Rad Productions. The origin story? Pure parental pragmatism.
After their first kid was born, Naomi realized working insane hours on someone else’s show meant missing out on family time. So one night, over probably too much wine, they hatched a plan: “Let’s start our own thing.” Their first project? A gloriously weird Adult Swim series called The Greatest Event in Television History, where they remade ’80s TV show intros with obsessive detail.
Kids, Chaos, and Keeping It Real
Adam and Naomi have two teens—Frankie, 16, and Graham, 18—who’ve inherited their parents’ sharp wit and zero tolerance for Hollywood nonsense. For years, the couple shielded them from the spotlight, insisting on a “no premieres, no paparazzi” rule so they could “be kids as long as possible”. But lately, the children are finally admitting Adam’s work doesn’t totally embarrass them. Severance—his mind-bending Apple TV+ thriller—got their stamp of approval, which Adam called a “miracle” since they usually avoid his projects like expired milk.
Parenting teens means rolling with the punches. Case in point: Frankie’s TikTok fame. In a viral video, Adam deadpans alongside his 16-year-old daughter as she lip-syncs about spray tans and Vegas trips, leaving the internet shook. “How is Adam Scott someone’s dad?!” screamed the comments. (Answer: He’s 52, and yes, we all feel ancient now.)

Meanwhile, Graham’s flying under the radar, but Adam’s Instagram tributes to Naomi on Mother’s Day spill the tea on their family dynamic: “I marvel at what an incredible mother she is—and the kind, smart, caring people our kids are,” he gushed, adding that she deserves “a year of Mother’s Days” for putting up with his Zoom parenting.
The Secret Sauce: Partnership On and Off Screen
What makes this Hollywood marriage last 25+ years? Mutual admiration and a shared sense of humor. Adam’s Instagram is basically a Naomi fan page: “I’ll disintegrate into a fine powder if I try to explain how much I love her,” he wrote on her birthday. When they’re not producing together, they’re walking red carpets—Naomi in show-stopping silver gowns, Adam in teal suits that somehow work—or joking about the other Naomi Scott (Aladdin’s Princess Jasmine), whom they finally met at Elizabeth Banks’ birthday party. Adam’s caption: “An epic, historic moment”.

Their secret? “We have a great partnership at home and professionally,” Adam told SheKnows. Translation: They’re ride-or-die collaborators who’d rather build a life—and a production company—together than play by Hollywood’s rules. And honestly? That’s the real plot twist.
