Netflix’sKinda Pregnantis a story of both love and motherhood — which much of the cast has experienced in their own lives.

At the beginning of her stunt, Lainy basks in the newfound perks: compliments on her “glowing” skin, strangers offering their subway seats and unexpected friendships from a pre-natal yoga class. But things take a complicated turn when she meets her dream guy, Josh (Will Forte), and has to maintain the charade.

In January 2025, Schumer — who also produced the movie alongsideAdam Sandler— opened up to PEOPLE about costarring with a “great romantic lead” like Forte.

“It’s a really special thing to build that kind of trust with someone, to get used to kissing someone other than your partner and have it not be a big deal,” the comedian said.

While Schumer and Forte have on-screen chemistry as Lainy and Josh, they have their own romances in real life. Schumer married her husband,Chris Fischer, in February 2018, and Forte wed his wife,Olivia Modling, in July 2021.

Here’s everything to know about the real-life loves of theKinda Pregnantcast.
