On March 27, Kattan announced the proposal on Instagram. He posted a few photos and claimed that the proposal took place during a Wilco performance in Chicago. Kattan added that Maria’s favorite song, I’m the Man Who Loves You, was played after the proposal, despite the fact that the performance was interrupted by lead vocalist Jeff Tweedy. He went on to say:
“Thank you Wilco and Jeff, and everyone else who helped make this incredible moment a reality.” I’ll be eternally thankful. Maria, I adore you.”
In an interview with PEOPLE, Kattan said that the reason their relationship worked out was due to their differences. Kattan noted that he and Libri accept each other for who they are:
“I knew I was in trouble when I got to see her and spend time with her a few months after we first met and realized our creative brains were also totally in sync (after the first sketch we did together)!” Fortunately for me, she felt the same way.”
Chris Kattan’s girlfriend was a journalist.
