Why Rashida Jones and BF Ezra Koenig Consider Themselves Husband and Wife

Matt Winkelmeyer/VF24/WireImage for Vanity Fair Rashida Jones is explaining why she and boyfriend Ezra Koenig consider themselves husband and wife despite not being legally wed. “We’re not married,” Jones, 48, told The New Yorker in an interview published Sunday, July 7. “We just kind of call each other that.

Stefanie Keenan/WireImageWhile speaking with NPR in 2021, Rashida opened up about the “emotionally intense couple years that followed” the birth of their child, as her mom died from cancer in May 2019 eight months after they became parents. The Parks and Recreation cast filled homes with laughs and love during its seven-season run on NBC, but since the show ended, fans have still been able to see their favorite faces from the group in a slew of high-profile projects.
