Dave Franco and Alison Brie have become one of Hollywood’s most low-key yet beloved couples. Since meeting over a decade ago, the pair has kept their relationship largely private while continuing to support each other’s careers and collaborate creatively. Their latest joint project is the 2025 body-horror film Together, which premiered at Sundance and hit U.S. theaters on July 30. Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, the film stars Dave and Alison as a couple whose crumbling marriage takes a bizarre supernatural turn.
As their marriage continues to flourish, many fans have wondered whether the two plan to start a family. Over the years, Alison has opened up about motherhood. Below, learn more about their relationship, wedding, and what they’ve said about having children.

What Has Alison Brie Said About Wanting Kids?
Alison has spoken candidly about the topic of having children. In a 2018 interview with The Sunday Times, she revealed that she and Dave often joke about not having kids and enjoy their life without them.
“I don’t really want to have kids. It’s great because I don’t worry about when should I get pregnant — between seasons, while we’re shooting the show — I don’t think about it every day. It would be nice, but I think of all the things that would be so stressful,” she said.
“I think about how much we’re involved in our cats’ lives. Oh my God, if it was a child!”
