Laura Linney and her husband, Marc Schauer, have a happy marriage. That is, her actual life is quite different from her on-screen existence. In Ozark, where she plays the ambitious Wendy Byrde, she has her fair share of marital problems. Her character in the Emmy-winning Netflix drama is married to Jason Bateman’s Marty Byrde. Even before Ozark, the Emmy Award-winning actress was a household name in Hollywood, having appeared in films such as Primal Fear, The Truman Show, Love Actually, and You Can Count On Me. So it’s reasonable for her followers to be curious about her personal life, such as when she married and whether she has children.
The Love Story of Laura Linney and Her Husband
Linney married her real estate agent husband in May 2009, after they had been engaged since 2007. They initially met at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado in 2004. Schauer was a host and liaison between the town and the event. In a 2010 interview with The New York Times, she recalled the first time she met him. Schauer, she said, was a V.I.P. host assigned to her for the weekend. At first sight, the Ozark actress fell in love with the real estate agent.

She acknowledged that she had glanced at him and wondered whether she was drawn to him. She was aware that the sensation was unusual for her, but she acknowledged that she was “feeling something wonderful.” After exchanging emails, the two agreed to meet in Chicago. Linney felt as though all her worries had vanished when they reunited again. They fell hard and quickly in love. They married soon after in an outdoor ceremony. In terms of marriage, the married pair is rather private. As a result, nothing is known about their connection.
Laura Linney Discusses Motherhood
Bennett Armistead Schauer, Linney’s son, was born in January 2014 to Linney and her husband. She was 49 years old at the time and had kept her pregnancy a secret. Linney informed Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly that she did not conceal her pregnancy on purpose; she just did not publicize it. She was having trouble conceiving. So she kept silent to ensure her kid came safely and in good health.
After giving birth to her son, she recognized that parenthood had altered her in ways she had not anticipated. She saw her body changing and acting differently, and her emotions becoming more intense. She ended up with strained face muscles from smiling so much. Linney also confessed that juggling parenthood and her job was challenging. The actress was inclined to devote her whole time to her kid, but she realized it was impossible. In the end, she could only do her best to manage parenthood and a profession.
