Paul may no longer be a resident of the Arconia, but his role as Ben Glenroy will forever be infamous of Only Murders lore, and the Ant-Man star’s love life is just as notable.
After all, Paul met his wife Julie Yaeger, a screenwriter and producer, in the late ‘90s. And, the actor described, Julie was the first person Paul ever met in New York—literally. He met her in a publicist’s office on the heels of his Clueless breakout role. As if it could get any cuter!
“We started talking and there was a maturity with her—she had experienced some tragedy in her life, I had too,” he explained of Julie to Marie Claire UK in 2018. “The impression I got was, ‘Wow, this is a woman. This isn’t a girl.’”
Shortly after their office meet-cute, Paul took Julie to lunch—a short few years later, they tied the knot in 2003. Afterward, the couple welcomed son Jack in 2006, who was followed by younger sister Darby in 2010. And while Paul has made quite the name for himself as a comedian and actor, it’s the life he’s created with his family that he cherishes the most.
“When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like I’m that,” he told People in 2021. “I just hang out with my family when I’m not working. That’s what I kind of like the most.”
