Let’s be real for a second. In a town like Hollywood, where "forever" usually lasts about three press cycles and a messy Instagram unfollow, seeing a couple actually go the distance is kinda jarring. It’s even rarer when they aren’t just living together but literally building an entire production empire from their living room.
Adam Scott and Naomi Sablan have been a thing since 1998. Think about that. When they met, The Wedding Singer was in theaters and we were all still using dial-up. They’ve survived the transition from "struggling actors" to "industry titans" without becoming a tabloid fixture, which is honestly the biggest flex in show business.
How It Actually Started (It Wasn’t Glitzy)
Forget some high-end gala or a movie set meet-cute. They met at a bar on Sunset Boulevard. Basic, right? Adam was introduced to Naomi by a mutual friend, and let’s just say the sparks didn't immediately set the building on fire. Naomi actually left pretty quickly after finding out he was an actor.
"I heard 'actor' and was like, okay, bye," she’s joked in past interviews.
It took seeing him on stage to change her mind. They dated for seven years before finally tying the knot in 2005. By then, Adam was starting to find his footing, but Naomi was already a force behind the scenes. She got her start as a segment producer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! back in 2003. While Adam was becoming the internet’s favorite "nice guy" on Parks and Recreation, Naomi was learning the brutal logistics of late-night TV.
Why the "Naomi Scott" Name Confusion Is Real
If you’ve ever Googled Adam Scott and Naomi Sablan, you’ve probably seen a picture of the Aladdin actress Naomi Scott and been very confused. It’s a whole thing.
Adam’s wife, born Naomi Sablan, took his last name after they married. This has led to years of internet glitches where people think the Severance star is married to a British pop star who is twenty years younger than him.
The two Naomis finally met at a party for Elizabeth Banks a few years back. Adam posted a photo of them together just to prove, once and for all, that they are two different humans. It’s one of those weird Hollywood glitches that just won't die.
The Birth of Gettin' Rad Productions
In 2012, something changed. They weren't just a couple; they became business partners. They founded Gettin' Rad Productions because, frankly, they wanted to see each other more.
Naomi has been very open about the fact that the industry's hours are garbage for families. She realized that if she kept working on other people’s shows, she’d never see Adam or their two kids, Graham and Frankie. So, they hatched a plan.
Their first big swing? The Greatest Event in Television History on Adult Swim. It was weird, niche, and totally them. They spent an absurd amount of time and money painstakingly recreating shot-for-shot intros of 80s TV shows like Simon & Simon. It shouldn't have worked. It did.

Since then, the duo has produced:
- Other People (the 2016 Sundance hit with Molly Shannon)
- The Overnight
- Fun Mom Dinner
- Ghosted (the Fox paranormal comedy)
Keeping the Kids Out of the "Lumon" Life
Despite Adam’s massive surge in fame thanks to Severance, the family stays remarkably private. They live in Los Angeles, but you won't see their kids on a reality show anytime soon. Adam famously had to hide in a closet to do Severance production Zooms just so his kids wouldn't hear spoilers.
Apparently, it’s the first project of his they actually care about.
They are remarkably normal parents. Naomi is a huge advocate for gun violence prevention and works with the Center for Reproductive Rights. She’s also a proud alumna of Notre Dame Belmont, recently returning there to mentor young women about breaking into the production world. She’s big on the idea that hiring women isn’t just "nice"—it’s a smart business move that increases profitability.
What Most People Get Wrong About Them
People assume Naomi is just "the wife" supporting the star. That’s a total misunderstanding of their dynamic. Honestly? Naomi is often the one steering the ship. Adam has gone on record saying he would "disintegrate into a fine powder" without her.
She was named one of Variety’s "Top 10 Producers to Watch" for a reason. While Adam is the face of the brand, Naomi is the architect. They’ve managed to balance a 20-plus year marriage with a high-stakes business partnership, which is basically the equivalent of winning an Oscar for life.
Navigating the 2026 Landscape
As we move through 2026, the couple is busier than ever. With Severance continuing to be a cultural juggernaut, the pressure on their production company to deliver more high-concept content is massive. Yet, you still see them on red carpets—most recently at the Critics Choice Awards in January—looking like they actually enjoy each other’s company.
No scandals. No "source says they are living apart." Just a couple of NorCal kids who met at a bar and decided to build something together.
How to Apply the Scott-Sablan Strategy to Your Own Life
If you’re looking for a takeaway from their relationship, it’s basically this: The "hatch a plan" method works.
- Prioritize Shared Goals: They started a company specifically to fix their work-life balance. If your career is killing your relationship, find a way to merge interests.
- Keep it Private: They don't overshare. The less the public knows about your domestic life, the less they can mess with it.
- Acknowledge the Expert: Adam never misses a chance to credit Naomi as the smarter one in the room. Respecting your partner's professional "win" is key to a long-term bond.
