Tig Notaro tied the knot with her girlfriend turned wife Stephanie Allynne on 24th October 2015. Interestingly, both of them had never been in a relationship with women in the past. In fact, they both had a fair share of heartbreaks after dating men.
Earlier, the couple met on the set of In a World... (2013). Tig and Stephanie subsequently got engaged on exactly New Year's Day 2015. The duo couldn't have chosen a more celebratory occasion.

During an interview with HuffPost Live in 2016, Notaro was asked about what keeps her motivated, and she gleefully talked about her partner. The comedian said,
I think the one thing I haven't had is a relationship that fulfilled me and made me excited about being with that person forever, and I have that now, for the first time in my life. That drives me to work on that and invest in that. I still want to live my life and pursue my career, but my personal life and my relationship, my family, it's more important than ever.
Notaro insisted she does not need anything as she truly has it all. She added, "It's embarrassing. That's what drives me."
Stephanie, meanwhile, is an American actress, writer, and comedian who was born on 19th September 1986 in Claremont, California. She is well known for Dream Corp, LLC (2016), and One Mississippi (2016–2017).

On 20th July 2012, Notaro got diagnosed with cancer on both of her breasts. A few days later, she addressed her health issues during a live stage show at Largo. The performance was iconic for one line in particular.
While the comedian was on her way to the stage and receiving applause from the crowd, she walked to the mic, and the first thing she said, "Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer."

Later, the stand-up comic who had a double vasectomy with no reconstructive surgery decided to get out of chemo while she continued her treatment with hormone-blocking therapy. This, however, didn't go smoothly as she was admitted to the hospital following her show in Philadelphia since she needed a cyst surgery.
Back in November 2014, Notaro delivered a powerful performance whilst topless at Town Hall. The New York Times reviewed, "She showed the audience her scars and then, through the force of her showmanship, made you forget that they were there. It was a powerful, even inspiring statement about survival and recovery, and yet, it had the larky feel of a dare."
