When Patton Oswalt‘s first wife Michelle McNamara died unexpectedly in 2016 at the age of 46, she not only left behind a grieving husband, but their daughter, Alice Rigney.

The actor and comedian, 50, found love again with now-wife Meredith Salenger, whom he married in November 2017. And Alice has since adjusted to her stepmother, but Oswalt remembers that “there was some weirdness” at first — specifically surrounding his daughter’s newfound responsibilities around the house.
