Mark Normand Is Married to His Wife Mae Planert despite His Gay Speculations
“You see Squid Game? I’m just living life,” Mark Normand joked about his married life ritual.
The stand-up comedian Mark Normand has performed at various comedy festivals, television shows, and venues across the United States.
Normand has also made several appearances on television, including on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He has also released a comedy special called Out to Lunch on YouTube, which has garnered millions of views.
His jokes, which often challenge traditional sexuality-related comedic genres, often led to speculation about his sexuality within the LGBTQ+ community, as he made humorous references to being “a little queer.”
However, his current relationship with his wife, Mae Planert, contradicts any such claims.
In this article, we will discuss his gay moments, delve deeper into dating life, and learn more about his wife.
Mark Normand’s wife was dating someone else when they first met
Normand and Planert married in November 2022, but as per the sources, they have been dating for a long time. It is revealed that they have been dating since 2015.
In addition to being the comedian’s spouse, Planert is also a stand-up comedian. She co-hosts podcasts such as We Were Had and Risque Business News.
During her appearance as a guest on the podcast A Relationship Story, Planert shared how she met her then-boyfriend Normand in his show. She also revealed that she was dating somebody else, and they decided to go to Normand’s show.
After the show, she was still thinking about Normand, and as her friend suggested, she messaged his social media.
“So I just messaged him on Facebook,” she said. “And one of his jokes at the time was about how he was so awkward that if he makes eye contact with a woman, he takes it that they are in love.
Planert also mentioned that they had made eye contact several times, jokingly stating that she took it as a sign that they were in love. She said, “And I was like, ‘We made eye contact more than once so I take it we’re in love now.”
Their conversation on Facebook led to them starting to date, and the rest is history. The couple does not have a child together, but they seem to be the parents of their cat.

Initially, Planert wasn’t involved in comedy. However, she later developed an interest in it but hesitated to pursue it openly because she was concerned that people would think her success was due to her relationship with a famous comedian.
To avoid this, she explored other creative avenues, such as taking an improv class that she disliked.
With Koppen with Comic, she revealed, “I didn’t want to do the thing that he was doing. You know, for obvious reasons. I just wanted to do my own thing so I tried to circumvent it by doing other things that are also creative… Actually, I took an improv class which was a [explective] disaster. I hated it. I hated it so bad.”
Mark Norman’s point of view on love and upon cheating on his girlfriend of 12 years
In the podcast with Lex Fridman, Normand poured his point of view on love. He said, “Many people want love to be a perfect, pre-packaged euphoric experience, but the reality is that, like a good body, it takes work to keep a loving relationship in shape.”
Normand speaks about the challenge of doing the work, noting that it’s often the problem in relationships.
He also shared a personal story of being unfaithful to a previous girlfriend after slipping into a routine married life. Normand believes that commitment, mainly through marriage, is an antiquated idea but acknowledged that many women still value the tradition.
“Then, that wasn’t love anymore,” he said. That was more like a relationship where we were comfortable with each other and slipped into the routine of married life on autopilot.”
“I tried to break up, but it didn’t work out. Our lives were too intertwined. Eventually, I cheated and got caught, which led us to go to therapy to try to work things out. However, it was like a car wreck; the door just never closed the same,” he continued.
“When it comes to commitment outside of love and marriage, I think it’s an outdated and unrealistic concept,” Normand added. “We are moving towards more non-binary and polyamorous relationships, and many women still like the idea of marriage.”
He also revealed that he was currently engaged and was not yet married at that time. He also talked about Planert and her excitement over their marriage.
“The idea of it, like I’m a fiancé now or whatever you call it. I’m engaged, and I mean she is just going hog wild. She’s loving it, she’s got the dress thing, pick a venue flow,” he told Fridman.
“And she’s, she’s deep in, whereas I feel guilty because I’m just like, oh geez, is it planned already? Where’s the wedding? You see Squid Game? I’m just living life. Yes, it’s planned, it’s in New Orleans, I’m from there, and it’s [The wedding] next year.”

Richard Gadd’s Controversial Romance with Actress Auditioning for ‘Baby Reindeer’
All about his former dating life.
Baby Reindeer was a great hit for Richard Gadd, the creator and star of the Netflix series.
The British black comedy drama-thriller was adapted from Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show and hit the streaming service on April 11, 2024. The 7-episode drama, produced by Clerkenwell Films, was an instant hit and grabbed the attention of millions worldwide.
As Baby Reindeer was based on Gadd’s real-life events, viewers were instantly accustomed to digging deeper into the happenings of the series, mainly relationships. As if that wasn’t enough, his professional conduct was also questioned.
Days after Baby Reindeer hit Netflix, on April 16, 2024, a transgender actress named Reece Lyons came forward on X, claiming she and Gadd dated for a brief period and that she also auditioned for the role of Gadd’s ex-girlfriend, Teresa “Teri,” in the Netflix series.
Lyons never specifically mentioned Gadd or Baby Reindeer in her X thread but an investigation by Deadline confirmed that she was indeed talking about the Netflix show and its creator.
In her X thread, Lyons mentioned that she didn’t believe she was a victim of abuse but acknowledged that Gadd hurt her even if there was no conscious intent to do so. Additionally, she was hurt by Gadd “conflating a work opportunity with a dating dynamic.”
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons first met each other in October 2021. Both of them were in the bar of London’s Bush Theatre after Lyons had performed the one-woman show Overflow.
“I had met him in the bar after one of my shows. He was with a friend; they both approached me after my performance to congratulate me, and that’s when he offered to buy me a drink,” Lyons recalled her first encounter with Gadd on her X thread.
She then stated that she initially thought of declining the offer as she didn’t know Gadd but before she could decline the offer, she recognized him. She claimed that Gadd had followed her on Instagram a month earlier.
It was at that moment she realized that this wasn’t a normal chance encounter. She decided to accept his offer for a drink, after which they began their conversation. “We split off from his friend, and he began to tell me about his upcoming Netflix show that he had written,” she wrote.
Lyons continued her X thread by writing that Gadd had offered her the role of his ex-girlfriend, a trans woman. As per Lyons, Gadd mentioned that he allegedly didn’t treat his now-former girlfriend the best.
When Gadd offered the role, Lyons claimed she was interested in auditioning for the role and told him to contact her agent. Right after that, Gadd allegedly expressed his romantic feelings for Lyons.
Weeks after their first meet, Gadd contacted Lyons and asked her out on a date. She agreed even though she was mindful of the overlap between the romantic invitation and the upcoming audition. During their date, their conversations didn’t turn out well.

After a week, Lyons texted him and ended things prematurely. She told him that she didn’t think the conflation of the upcoming audition for Baby Reindeer and dating each other at the same time was very wise, and Gadd replied that he understood what she meant.
However, things didn’t end then and there between the two, as Lyons claimed that Gadd spontaneously called her two weeks later and expressed his desire to try dating again. When he said that, she felt conflicted as she had previously set clear boundaries and he appeared to understand them.
“‘What if I say, no?’ I asked myself. ‘Does that mean he would feel slighted, and I wouldn’t get the chance to audition?’ I decided to say yes and quickly found myself pulled back into his emotional chaos again,” Lyons wrote on her X thread.
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons had gone on four dates between October and November 2021, before the former decided to end things permanently in December of the same year. As per sources close to Gadd, some conversations about a Baby Reindeer audition might have taken place while the two were dating.
In March 2022, three months after Gadd and Lyons broke up, the latter auditioned for the role of Teresa “Teri” and submitted her self-tape to Nina Gold Casting. However, she wasn’t offered the role and it ultimately went to Mexican actress Nava Mau.
Deadline reported in May 2024 that Gadd had no control over the casting process on Baby Reindeer but provided some feedback on audition tapes to Clerkenwell Films. Likewise, Gadd and Lyons seemingly had a final conversation after the actress for the role of Teresa “Teri” was finalized.
As per Lyons’ X thread, Gadd reportedly consoled her over the phone and mentioned that her audition was exceptional. “But it’s out of my hands. Netflix is looking for somebody who’s already a star,” Gadd reportedly told Lyons.
Sources close to Gadd stated that Lyons was the one who asked him for feedback on her audition on the day of rejection. She then asked him, “But what about us?” to which he replied, “It’s not going to work. You’re too confrontational for me.” “And that was it,” she concluded.
After Lyons went public with her relationship with Gadd, Baby Reindeer’s producer Clerkenwell Films launched an investigation into Lyons’ comments. This investigation revealed that Gadd had not disclosed his romantic liaison with Lyons to Clerkenwell Films.
During the investigation process, Lyons was neither interviewed on the phone nor in person, as Clerkenwell Films believed that her X thread, along with other evidence, was enough. Clerkenwell Films ultimately concluded that Gadd behaved professionally and casting decisions were not compromised.

The Percy Jackson star sealed the deal with a heartwarming proposal, officially taking their romance to the next level. Fans and well-wishers alike eagerly await the details of this romantic milestone as the couple prepares to embark on marital bliss.
In this article, we delve into the captivating tale of Lerman’s proposal, their relationship, and the woman who has captured his heart.
Logan Lerman opened up about his proposal to Analusia Corrigan
Lerman recently opened up about the charming way he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Corrigan.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 32-year-old actor shared the delightful details of how he popped the question in an unconventional yet romantic setting – a rowboat in New York City’s iconic Central Park.
He revealed that while in New York, he initially had no concrete plan for the proposal but soon realized he needed a private and intimate setting.
Corrigan, 29, pointed out the rowboats; he thought it would be a perfect idea but discovered that he lacked the necessary rowing skills.
He described how his fiancée ended up doing all the hard work, rowing the boat. At the same time, he sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
As they drew the attention of onlookers amused by the sight of Corrigan manning the oars, he bided his time until they reached a secluded part of the lake.
In that tranquil moment, surrounded by the beauty of Central Park, Lerman seized the opportunity and popped the question to his beloved.
Despite the initial challenges, the proposal went smoothly. Lerman’s heartwarming tale beautifully captures the essence of love, spontaneity, and the willingness to embrace unexpected moments that make memories truly special.

After the heartwarming proposal in Central Park, Lerman and his fiancée, Corrigan, made a stunning red carpet appearance, celebrating their love and future together.
On March 21, the couple graced the premiere of Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones in Los Angeles, radiating joy and complementing each other perfectly with their coordinated looks.
Lerman, known for his role in Bullet Train, cut a dashing figure in a sleek black overcoat and dress pants, adding a touch of sophistication with a silver silk shirt. Meanwhile, Corrigan, stunned in a chic black bandeau dress, exuding elegance and confidence.
Their red carpet debut as an engaged couple came four months after Corrigan took to Instagram to share the exciting news of Lerman’s proposal.
In a heartfelt post, she playfully referred to her future husband as “Mrs. Logie,” accompanied by a series of endearing snapshots, including a photo booth strip capturing their loving embrace and a close-up video showcasing the exquisite engagement ring.
Lerman, clearly smitten, responded with a sweet comment, expressing his love for his “sweetie.”
Who is Analusia Corrigan?
Lerman’s fiancée, Corrigan, is a talented artist whose journey has been shaped by her diverse cultural experiences and the unwavering support of her family.
Growing up in San Diego, her frequent road trips to Mexico with her mother instilled in her a deep appreciation for culture, which she later incorporated into her art.
It was her father’s work with the renowned Alvin Ailey dance company in New York City that ignited a new creative spark within her. She viewed the crew as a “window to real people in real life,” an experience she didn’t have on the West Coast.
Her parents played a pivotal role in nurturing her artistic aspirations, always ensuring that she understood the value of the arts and that being an artist was a viable career path.

Her artistic pursuits led her to enroll at the Parsons School of Design, where she initially studied oil painting but later pivoted to graphic design, realizing the challenges of succeeding in the former field.
However, after graduation, Corrigan discovered that her true passion lay not in technology but in creating tangible works with her hands.
It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that Corrigan found her calling in ceramic art, initially selling ashtrays and mugs with unique designs. Her work explores “figurative shapes and their innate matter, language and sensation,” as described on her website.
From lamps and mirrors to wall hangings, Corrigan’s creations are a testament to her talent and dedication.
Now displaying her art at shows and during New York City’s design week, Corrigan has garnered a steady stream of clients. She remains grateful for the opportunity to have her creations grace the intimate spaces of people’s homes.
Logan Lerman’s relationship timeline with Analusia Corrigan
Lerman and Corrigan’s relationship timeline is a heartwarming tale of love that blossomed from a long-distance connection into a deep, lasting bond.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2020 when they were linked together. However, they kept their relationship relatively private in its early stages.
It wasn’t until August 2022 that Lerman and Corrigan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Bullet Train, marking a significant milestone in their journey together.
Despite the initial distance, with Corrigan residing in New York City and Lerman in Los Angeles, they found a way to make their relationship thrive.
She has provided glimpses into their life together through her Instagram account, which is primarily dedicated to showcasing her exceptional work as a ceramic artist.
However, she occasionally shares endearing snaps of Lerman, who sometimes lends a helping hand in her studio, highlighting the supportive and collaborative nature of their partnership.
Lerman, too, has been unafraid to express his adoration for Corrigan publicly. In December 2021, he penned a heartfelt tribute on her 27th birthday, referring to her as his “best friend” and expressing his gratitude for having her in his life, making every day “better and brighter.”

Then, during one of Corrigan’s visits to Los Angeles, the lockdown occurred, leading her to extend her stay with Lerman and allowing them to strengthen their bond further.
Over the past three years, Lerman and Corrigan have embraced adventures together, exploring the world hand in hand.
From hiking in the Pacific Northwest to immersing themselves in the beauty of Italy, their love has flourished amidst breathtaking landscapes and new experiences.
As their relationship deepened, they reached significant milestones, such as attending Lerman’s co-star Joey King’s wedding in Mallorca together in 2023.
