Who is Andy Richter’s Wife? All About Jennifer Herrera Richter!

Andy Richter, known for his comedy and recent stint on Dancing with the Stars, has found love and strong support in his wife, Jennifer Herrera Richter. The couple began dating in early 2022, a few years after Andy’s divorce from his first wife, Sarah Thyre, ended a 25-year marriage. They tied the knot in June 2023 in a low-key ceremony at their West Hollywood home, with Andy’s longtime friend and comedy collaborator Conan O’Brien officiating the wedding at the last minute.

While Andy has been showcasing his dance moves on national television, he told Conan on the Conan Needs a Friend podcast in September 2025 that dancing is not usually his thing. “Also Jen, my wife reminded me that on our wedding, she said like, ‘Well, you know, what about our dance together?’ And I was like, ‘Shortest song possible,'” Andy recalled. “I was like, ‘No, I don’t want all those eyes on us for that long.'”

Jennifer Herrera is a talent agent and producer with a successful career in the entertainment industry. She is the founder of Las Bandas Be Brave, a talent agency specializing in directors for commercials, music videos, and documentaries. According to her company’s website, Jen is the “Head Creative Producer, Talent Agent and EP with history and experience across the music, advertising and entertainment industry for the past 24 years.” Andy has expressed admiration for her independence and professional achievements, telling Jesse Tyler Ferguson on the Dinner’s on Me podcast, “She has her own business, she has a career that she’s been involved in for years and years, does well at it, is well respected in her community.”

Jen is also a mother to a young daughter, Cornelia, who is in kindergarten. Andy has embraced his role as a stepfather, saying in interviews that parenting Cornelia was part of their relationship from the start. “That’s always been part of the deal for both of us from our first date,” he said.

The couple first connected on the dating app Hinge, marking Andy’s “first real experience” with online dating after briefly trying Raya. Their relationship quickly blossomed, with Andy describing the early days fondly: “Then I just started hanging out at her house and I met her daughter,” he said. “And I started finding myself driving home feeling very, very happy.”

Their engagement was announced in November 2022 with Andy posting on Instagram, “Some non-election news: I got engaged! To a lady! Her name is Jennifer Herrera and she’s the best. We’ve been together since the beginning of the year, and we’re getting married next summer. HOORAY LOVE!❤️❤️❤️.”

Since their marriage, Jen has been a visible source of support for Andy during his Dancing with the Stars journey, often seen cheering him on from the audience. So far, Andy and his professional dance partner, Emma Slater, have earned a total of 25 points in the competition’s first two weeks.

Together, Andy Richter and Jennifer Herrera represent a strong partnership both on and off the stage, blending their personal and professional lives with mutual respect and love.
