Rudolph and her long-time partner Anderson share 4 kids, but never married – all of them appeared in their dad’s film Licorice Plaza, while son Jack ‘thinks he’s Michael Jackson’, Rudolph said in 2016

The 50th series of Saturday Night Live opened with a skit featuring actress Maya Rudolph’s much-anticipated return – reprising her role as US Vice-President Kamala Harris.
The Good Place actress was joined by SNL alumni Andy Samberg as Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff; James Austin Johnson as former president Donald Trump; Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden; and prolific comedian Jim Gaffigan as Harris’ running-mate, Tim Walz.

SNL veteran Rudolph’s previous appearance on the show came in May, when she returned to host its Mother’s Day episode. That featured sketches celebrating mothers and a live musical number performed by Rudolph, who sang, “I’m your mother” – a reference to the internet slang used to describe famous women. Her opening monologue pointed out that she has been a mother four times.

Here’s everything you need to know about Rudolph’s offspring quartet, who have largely managed to stay out of the limelight.

Rudolph, 52, and her partner, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, 54, have been together since 2001. Although the long-time couple have never married, they share four children.

According to People, despite never marrying, Rudolph has referred to Anderson as her husband since the birth of their firstborn, Pearl Minnie Anderson.

Despite having highly prolific parents such as Rudolph and Anderson, all four of the couple’s children have for the most part managed to avoid being in the public eye.
