The couple first met in 2014 at actor Seth Green’s house after Dads, Seth and Brenda’s short-lived FOX sitcom, got canceled. Mack happened to be staying at Seth’s and tried to lighten the mood. It didn’t go...great. “He was trying to be funny about our show being canceled and I was not having it,” Brenda says. They both remember her shooting him enough dirty looks that he left the room. (“She was thoroughly unimpressed by me is what I will say,” adds Mack.)

Mack gave Brenda some of his journals to read in her spare time. They were full of scribbles, some jokey, others emotional and complex. “I saw this person he put out there—it was a product of this armor that he’s put on to protect himself,” she says. “But I could see that that wasn’t really who he was; I could see these glimpses of this really interesting, very sensitive, very intelligent, artistic person that he doesn’t really let show.”

So here they are, not married but maybe better than married. At 27, Brenda says, she’d had a breakdown over not having found her person yet. “When I met Mack, there was so much more of me that I hadn’t figured out,” she says now. “He made me such a bigger person and I was like, Oh my god. I didn’t realize that there were so many things I didn’t know about myself.”
