Rashida Jones, 48, says she is married to her longtime partner and Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig, 40, only ‘in the eyes of God’
Rashida Jones shared an update on her relationship status with Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig.
Although she has been together with the 40-year-old rock musician for years, the 48-year-old Silo actress says they are not married yet, but that they plan to wed in the future.
βWe’re not married,β she said The New Yorker in an article published on Sunday.
“We just call each other that,” she continued. “But we are who we are, in the eyes of God!”
The Black-ish star, who welcomed her first child, son Isaiah, now almost six, with Koenig in 2018, added that they do want to get married in the future, but are calling each other husband and wife for now.

βI’m sure we’ll get married someday, but basically that’s how it is,β she said.
The former Parks and Recreation actress, who first dated Koenig in 2016, also spoke candidly about life as a rock star’s partner.
“Like vintage fur coats and bus life? No. Too old for bus life. But I’m incredibly proud,” she said.
βHe takes a really long time to make his albums, which I really like because it means he’s home a lot,β she added.
βThis is actually our second tour, so we’ll see how far I get with Rock Wife,β she continued.
The office’s veterinarian also spoke about her parents, music producer Quincy Jones and the late model Peggy Lipton, and their marriage.
βMy parents didn’t get married until my dad had his first brain aneurysm and my sister was six months old, because of the rights issue,β she explains.
Jones also said she’s in what she calls “crazy middle age.”

In addition to her many roles, including that of a musician’s ‘wife’, she also talked about her latest acting job.
She spoke about her role in Sunny, an upcoming science fiction series premiering on Apple TV+.
The series, which is based on a novel by Colin O’Sullivan, stars Jones as Suzie, an American expat living in Kyoto, Japan.
The story follows Suzie as she struggles to cope with the disappearance of her husband Masa, played by Hidetoshi Nishijima, and their son Zen, after they are presumed dead in a tragic plane crash.
She is given a homebot named Sunny, who tries to help her process her grief and get her life back on track.
With the help of the robot, she discovers that her husband was not the refrigerator technician he claimed to be.
Of the role, Jones said it was a different experience than she was used to, as she had to play a grieving protagonist, adding that the robot was “very high maintenance.”
βI’ve never had the opportunity to play a role like this before, someone who solves a mystery and has her own baggage with her,β she told the outlet.

βI’ve never really played a lead role in a series like this, where the story is told through one person’s quest,β she said.
“I felt like I was old enough, that I was ready for the challenge. ‘I love that this character, unlike me, is isolated,’ she continued.
“She’s a bit misanthropic. She came to Japan and found her own people, her family β and then she lost it all of a sudden. It feels like a show about finding where you belong.
“And I find the grief interesting,” she added. “Grief has shaped my life tremendously over the last five years, because I lost my mother five years ago.
“I became a mother, and seven months later I lost my mother. That pressure in both directions changed me forever.”
Sunny’s debut episode will be available to stream on Apple TV+ starting Wednesday, July 10. New episodes will be released weekly.
