Nick Offerman Is Actually Quite A Bit Younger Than Wife Megan Mullally

In an interview with GQ, Megan Mullally revealed that something she found attractive about Nick Offerman when they first started flirting was the age she assumed he was. But her assumption was wrong. "I was 41, and I'd always had younger guys pursue me, and I was really sick of it," she said. "And so I met Nick and I thought, 'Oh, great, 'cause this guy's like 38!' Turns out he was 29. And I was pissed." She found it difficult to believe that there was over a decade between their birthdates because Offerman didn't just look older. "He was mature, so when I found out he was 29, I said these two words: YOU MOTHERF***ER," she recalled.

Offerman's age revelation was not a dealbreaker, thankfully. Mullally wouldn't just become the younger comedian's loving wife, best friend, and "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told: An Oral History" co-author — she's also become a guide for Offerman. "One great benefit of our relationship is that Megan has gone through everything a couple of chapters ahead of me, so there's an easy student-master quality to it," Offerman told New York magazine.

Evidence that she's taught him well can be seen in the couple's hysterical portrayal of a toxic relationship in "Parks and Recreation." But while Ron Swanson makes his ex Tammy have a mini meltdown in a diner by commenting on how much she's aged, in real life, Mullally shared, "Nick has said he would divorce me if I got Botox."
