At this point, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have been together for more than a decade, working together in their careers and creating a life together when not on film sets, too. Though they have never gone public with any sort of proposal or engagement, a 2018 style piece in Vogue referred to Baumbach as Gerwig's "fiance." They've never publicly discussed a marriage, either, but in 2023, in the lead-up to the release of "Barbie," multiple articles in places like HuffPost called him her "husband."

In a 2020 joint interview with James Corden on "The Late Late Show," they discussed their hesitance to put a label on their relationship. "'Boyfriend' sort of makes it sound like I just met him last week," Gerwig said, adding, "And 'lover' is disgusting. And fiance makes it sound like there's an imminent wedding... and so none of it works." That being said, Gerwig admitted to having a strategy to get around the awkwardness. "I feel like when I'm talking to old people, I always say 'husband,' because it makes them feel very at ease."

Baumbach concurred, agreeing that he often calls her his wife — that is, until people ask for more information, and he has to clarify. Gerwig jumped in, joking, "Not in the eyes of either God, or the state." There you have it, folks; after all these years, they're something to one another.
