Bill Hader has recently made news of his secret connection with Anna Kendrick. Many people overlook the fact that he was formerly married and has children. Hader met his wife, Maggie Carey, in Los Angeles via her college buddies. Carey, like him, works in the entertainment sector. She works behind the camera as a writer, producer, and director, rather than in front of it.

Relationship Between Bill Hader and His Daughters
Hader was a cheerful parent who spent time with his children when he first became a father. He used to fawn over them in interviews and tell everyone how much he adored them. Hader even quit Saturday Night Live (SNL) after the birth of his second daughter to be with his family. He was “so obsessed with work and worry” since his job was hard.
It came down to being on SNL or becoming a parent. He chose the latter, leaving SNL to spend time with his children and assist his daughter.
But, as time passed, he became preoccupied with his professional job. He was so preoccupied with filing and filming that he didn’t have time to spend with his family. In a January 2019 interview with Variety, Hader said that he had become an absent parent. He revealed that he had barely spent five days with his children over the summer of 2018.
He talked up about how difficult it was for him to spend less time with his girls, filled with humiliation. As a result, he said that he will “take off” in the summer of 2019. He sobbed as he spoke about his girls and how much he missed them. Then he blamed his job for his inability to spend time with his children. “It’s this strange thing where when you’re in this field, you don’t have time to be with them, and it’s very, really tough,” he said. As a result, Hader solely accepted writing gigs, as he had said. As a consequence, he was able to work from home and spend time with his children.
