Patton Oswalt Engaged
As most people know, Patton Oswalt’s wife, Michelle McNamara, passed away unexpectedly last year, leaving him and his daughter torn apart and grieving. But today Oswalt has announced that he’s ready to move forward, announcing on social media his engagement to his actress girlfriend Meredith Salenger.
Although devastated by his wife’s death, Oswalt found the motivation to continue to be creative and funny, all while being open about his grieving process. It was only last month that the couple made their first public outing at the Hollywood premiere of Baby Driver. Today, the couple posted a few photos to social media announcing the news, with Oswalt joking that he hid the ring in a replica of Boba Fett’s famed ship, Slave I.
Oswalt is, undeniably, one of the busiest and most respected (and funniest) comics working right now. In the past year alone, he’s had roles on big shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return, Veep, The Simpsons and Santa Clarita Diet. His most recent special, 2016’s Talking for Clapping, won both an Emmy and Grammy award just a few months apart.
I put the ring in a marzipan Slave I replica and said, "Will you be my Padawan of Love?" She maced me but said yes later. https://t.co/9gIr2yxfP5
