Sarah Millican is married to Gary Delaney. Yes, that Gary Delaney—the sharp, deadpan comedian known for his one-liners. They are, quite simply, a comedy power couple, but in the coziest, most relatable way possible.
They met in the early 2000s on the UK comedy circuit. He was a rising star of quick, clever jokes; she was the queen of observational, confessional storytelling. Sparks flew, but not in a Hollywood fireworks way—more like a shared love of a good pun and a nice cup of tea kind of way.
They got married in 2013, and their relationship has become a subtle, beautiful backdrop to both of their careers. He’ll pop up in her social media stories, and she’ll reference him in a routine about sharing biscuits or the perfect sofa blanket.
Why Their Marriage Feels So Good
Here’s the fun part—and why you should care, even if you’ve never heard a joke by either of them. Their marriage is a masterclass in mutual respect and parallel play. They are both introverts who love being alone together.
Sarah has often said that Gary understands her need for quiet time and her intense focus on writing. In return, she champions his razor-sharp one-liner style. They don’t overshadow each other; they amplify each other’s weirdness. Isn’t that the goal?
Their love story isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about the little things. Like when Sarah revealed that Gary once bought her a very specific bin for her office because she complained about the old one. And she was thrilled. That, my friend, is true love.
