The Romantic Tale: How Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam’s Love Story Began
Their first meeting was in 2005 when Killam shot a pilot titled “Nobody’s Watching” with Canadian actor Paul Campbell, who had known Smulders for years as they shared the same agent.
However, Smulders failed to make an impression on Killam. He did not recognize her when they later met again at a birthday party and eventually started dating.

Cobie Smulders revealed on “Busy Tonight” that her husband, Taran Killam, doesn’t remember their first meeting.
Smulders recounted how she approached Killam to compliment his performance on a TV show, as he was a friend of her friend Paul. Despite this interaction, Killam had no recollection of it. Smulders humorously noted that she made “zero impression” on him then.
Now they’re married and have a beautiful daughter,” Campbell told television critic Bill Brioux. “She owes me huge.”
“It was hot and heavy a month in,” Killam told Us Weekly about realizing Smulders was the one.
“She was driving me around and suddenly she did a U-turn for no reason and I was like, ‘What is happening? What are you doing?’ And she was like, ‘Sorry. It’s something I always do.’”
Cobie Smulders had seen a little girl at a lemonade stand. “I was done,” Killam told the weekly celebrity and entertainment magazine. “I was done,” he repeated himself.

From Romance to Family Life: Cobie and Taran’s Journey Together
Wearing a wedding dress from bridal designer Claire Pettibone, Smulders married her longtime boyfriend at the Alisal Guest Ranch in Solvang, California, on September 8, 2012.
They have two daughters, Shaelyn Cado Killam (2009) and Janita Mae Killam (2015). In September 2019, Cobie Smulders shared her enduring love story with her husband, Taran Killam, during an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”
She expressed how fortunate she feels to have had Killam by her side for over a decade, describing their journey through their 20s together as both miraculous and challenging.
“Isn’t he just a dream?” she said of her husband. “I’m a very lucky woman. This magic happened 14 years ago. We’ve been together since we were 22 years young. We were babies and we survived our 20s together — I don’t know how that’s possible, but we did. It’s crazy.”
“We were 22, the friend was turning 30, so we were like, ‘This chick is super old. Whoa,’” she recalled about meeting at a friend’s birthday party. “We met and got along and he thought I was also 30. So it was a really funny meeting of like, ‘When were you born?’”
