The Internet can’t get enough of the mysterious Julie Yaeger. As if being married and having two kids wasn’t hard enough, Julie Yaeger is married to a celebrity, too. And not just any celebrity. She’s married to “Clueless” hearthrob, Paul Rudd.

You can imagine that falling in love with a celebrity is like falling in love with anyone, right? You know, except for the millions of fans that want to know anything and everything about you.

Like many celebrity couples, though, Julie Yaeger and Paul Rudd have figured out how to handle all the publicity: they stay private.

And although they mostly stay to themselves, there are a few personal tidbits that the couple has shared with their fans. Here are five things we know about the Hollywood couple.

1 How did Julie Yaeger and Paul Rudd meet?

As a young publicist working in New York City, Julie Yaeger was just doing her job when she offered to help Paul Rudd when he walked into her office.

He arrived late at his publicist’s office and had to rush to an audition, according to an interview with Luke Crisell. Julie Yaeger offered to take his luggage to a friend’s house in the meantime. New to the city, Paul Rudd asked out Julie Yaeger to lunch.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

2 They married in 2003.

After dating for five years, Julie Yaeger married her boyfriend Paul Rudd, according to IMDB. Being married to an actor/actress means that there will inevitably be scenes that bring up marriage, sex and anything that could potentially make spouses uncomfortable.

Paul Rudd shared an anecdote about a scene in “This is 40,” where the characters imagine their wives’ deaths and then becoming sexy widowers.

“Not that I would ever fantasize about my wife’s death, but I think everyone has those moments where you play out the death of your spouse,” he told Jewish Journal. “You could create laughs about how attractive you would look to someone if you were in mourning (laughs). I know that sounds horrible.”

It hardly needs to be said that Paul Rudd was just doing his job as a comedic actor. But also, Julie Yaeger must have thick skin and a good sense of humor.

3 The couple has two children.

Julie Yaeger gave birth to her first child with Paul Rudd in 2006. They named their son Jack Sullivan Rudd. In 2010, the couple had their second child and named her Darby Rudd.

4 Julie Yaeger attends her husband’s premieres.

Julie Yaeger has been to almost every one of her husband’s premieres and Hollywood events, especially during one of the biggest days in his life, the day he received his Hollywood star. Julie Yaeger and their children proudly stood by Paul Rudd on the Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce honored Paul Rudd on July 1, 2015 with his own place in entertainment history. The whole family was all smiles.

5 Julie is Jewish, just like Paul Rudd’s entire family.

“My whole family is Jewish; my wife, Julie, is Jewish – there isn’t anyone in my family who isn’t Jewish,” Paul Rudd told the Jewish Journal in a Q&A.

The actor described his Jewish identity and mentioned how he knows what it’s like to look for matzoh and going to synagogue. Unfortunately, the interview didn’t reveal anything else about Julie Yaeger. But, you can just imagine what it might be like to go on a search for matzoh with the two who clearly have a good sense of humor.

It’s refreshing to see celebrity couples keep it simple. While they do keep a low-key profile, they have also given fans a sprinkle of their personal life.
