Baumbach and the mother of his son met in 2001 whilst the actress was involved in the Broadway play called Proof. Besides, Jennifer also contributed to other work of her then-husband including Margot at the Wedding (2007) and Greenberg (2010), the same film where Baumbach's current girlfriend, Greta Gerwig co-starred the Miami Blues star.

Baumbach and Leigh only wed on 2nd September 2005 and remained together for roughly nine years until 2010 when Leigh filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. And, ironically, Marriage Story is primarily linked to his own story by the public.
