Lizzy Caplan Feels Lucky to Experience Parenthood With Husband Tom Riley

Caplan and Riley aren't on social media, so they leave much to the imagination when it comes to their personal lives. However, during a January 2022 appearance on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," Riley revealed the happy news that he and Caplan had welcomed a baby boy in late 2021. Riley didn't give too much information away, but a few months later, Caplan spoke about motherhood in an interview with Grazia USA.

"There are moments where you're just watching this little person do a thing and you're just beaming at him and you don't even realize you're beaming until maybe you see a picture of yourself watching him do this thing and you realize, 'Oh my, I'm smiling so much right now,'" she said. "I was smiling without being totally aware that I'm smiling — it's like this unrivaled pure joy."

Later in the interview, Caplan expressed her gratitude for Riley, whom she said is the perfect match for her in parenthood. "The division of labor can really fall to the woman in the majority of cases," she explained. "I definitely could not have worked as much as I've worked this year if I didn't have this partnership with my husband. But also, it just wouldn't be as fun if we weren't sharing all of it 50-50. We're pretty good at seeing the funny in stressful situations. I do feel very, very lucky."

Caplan once again opened up about life as a mom during an interview with The Guardian in February 2023 while discussing her role of Libby in "Fleishman Is in Trouble." "I just feel a sense of calm that eluded me for my entire youth," she shared. "In retrospect, I'm very happy I never had to experience that shot-out-of-the-cannon, life-changes-overnight thing . . . but again, this is how it feels looking back."
