Chris Kattan is committed to his girlfriend Maria Libri

He told the outlet,
“Maria and I fully accept each other for who we are. “It’s not just the things we have in common, we also embrace our quirks and differences — and we don’t love each other in spite of them, we love each other because of them.”
The comedian continued,
“When I got to see her and spend time together a few months after we first met, and I realized our creative brains were also totally in sync (after the first sketch we did together), that’s when I knew I was in trouble! Thankfully for me she felt the same way”
Kattan popped the question to Maria at a Wilco concert in Chicago last month.
The “Night at the Roxbury” actor also shared a video of the proposal on his Instagram in which Wilco’s lead singer Jeff Tweedy can be seen stopping playing for a while in mid-show after Katten got down on one knee in front of Maria.
As shown in the video, Jeff said to the audience, “She said “yes” everyone!” and then started playing one of Maria’s favorite songs “I’m the Man Who Loves You,”.
Besides, he shared several photos from the proposal last month on his respective Instagram handle.
While speaking to PEOPLE, the comedian shows gratitude to the band and “everyone involved in making this incredible moment actually happen”. He gushed,
“I’m forever grateful. I love you Maria”
Maria Libri discussed her first meeting with Chris Kattan
In an interview with PEOPLE, Maria acknowledge that the now-engaged couple hit it off right away when they first met over a year and a half ago.
The soon-to-be-married couple met when Libri was interviewing the comedian while he was on tour for a comedy show. The former journalist recalled,
“It’s funny how life works sometimes and gives you gifts when you’re not looking for them. When we met, we were immediately comfortable with one another. Call it weird, mystical or magical, it’s like we’d known each other in a past life.”
“After spending that first day together (though I didn’t know how), I just somehow knew that my life would never be the same after meeting Chris.”
In February 2022, Kattan went Instagram official with Libri while sharing a photo of the pair smiling together. He then simply captioned the post,
“I just met a girl named Maria!’ @maria_libri,”
