SATURDAY Night Live alum Fred Armisen has been seen with Orange Is the New Black star Natasha Lyonne, sparking Hollywood rumours they are a new couple.
The New York Post reports that Lyonne arrived at SNL creator Lorne Michaels’ pre-Emmys party with the former SNL funnyman on Saturday night. She and Armisen were seen mingling with other guests including Seth Meyers, Jon Hamm, Anna Kendrick and Jeff Goldblum at the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar in West Hollywood.
A source tells The New York Post, “Fred and Natasha were together all night at Lorne’s party. People were surprised, but they appear to be a couple.”
While reps for Armisen declined to comment and Lyonne’s agent didn’t get back to us, People.com reported that the pair also stepped out at Netflix’s post-Emmys celebration at the Chateau Marmont on Monday night.
The site reported that Lyonne, 35, and Armisen, 47, “shared kisses and [looked] very cozy together,” and while she mingled with her co-stars Taylor Schilling, Dascha Polanco and Laverne Cox, Armisen was “constantly by her side.”
Armisen is the band leader on Late Night with Seth Meyers and has previously dated his former SNL co-star Abby Elliott, was married to Mad Men actor Elisabeth Moss for eight months until late 2010.
Moss, 32, said in 2012, “One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, ‘He’s so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person,’ ” adding, “To me, that sums it up.”
Armisen told Howard Stern of Moss in 2013, “I think I was a terrible husband, I think I’m a terrible boyfriend.”
He explained, “I want it all ... fast. I want to be married, I want to live together ... and then somewhere around a year or two years, I get freaked out.”
Lyonne had reportedly been dating journalist/media consultant Andrew Zipern since they met at an Occupy Wall Street rally in 2011.
