How did Weird Al meet his wife?
Weird Al and his wife Suzanne were set up for a date by Lost in Space child star and musician Bill Mumy. They talked on the phone for several weeks before meeting in person. He told Rolling Stone in 2014 that he liked his wife before seeing her and does not intend to marry someone else.
I hadn't even seen her, but I already had a major crush. She was asking me all these questions about my life, and I said, 'You can just watch my VH1 Behind The Music tomorrow.' I guess we did get married a little late in life, but neither one of us had been married before, and neither of us intends to be married again.
Does Al Yankovic have children?
The musician has one daughter called Nina with his wife, Suzzane. The two have a strong father-daughter bond, and from Al's Instagram posts, she was just as goofy as her dad growing up. Yankovic revealed to Rolling Stone that he was happy being single but became more satisfied when he married and became a father.
The Behind The Music made too much of a big deal out of the fact that I was pushing 40 and still single. I wasn't upset about it at all. I enjoyed being single. But when I got married, I found I was even happier, and when I had a kid, I was even happier, still.

Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in November 2022, Al said he has never been close to the Material Girl hitmaker.
Our relationship is platonic, by the way. The only time I actually met her was in 1985. I talked to her for maybe like 45 seconds backstage. So that's the extent of the relationship.
