How They Met

Melissa and Winston are actually college sweethearts. According to the site Fame 10, the pair met when they were both studying at Marymount Manhattan College.

Marriage

The couple has been married for over a decade now, as they wed back in 2007. Following their wedding, Winston took on his wife's surname of "Rauch." There haven't been too many other details revealed about their nuptials.

What They've Said About Their Relationship

When it comes to speaking out about her relationship, Melissa has said nothing but kind things about her longtime partner. During a 2014 interview with New Jersey Monthly, the actor said of Winston, "I am very fortunate that I met my husband in college. He is my best friend and the love of my life, in addition to being an incredible writing partner. The only thing I regret is not meeting him even sooner, as my life has just gotten better since he came into it."

Collaborators

Melissa and Winston have been collaborators on various entertainment projects for over a decade now. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they've been working as a writing team since 2005, which is when they collaborated on the comedy stage show The Miss Education of Jenna Bush.

Welcoming a Daughter

In December of 2017, Melissa and Winston became parents for the first time. The couple welcomed a daughter, whom they named Sadie. At the time, the Big Bang Theory star wrote on Instagram, "I am beyond over the moon to share that our beautiful baby girl, Sadie Rauch, has arrived and our hearts are bursting at the seams with love for her."

Experiencing Heartbreak

Prior to welcoming their daughter, Melissa opened up about how her journey to motherhood wasn't a smooth one. At the time, she penned an essay for Glamour in which she revealed that she had experienced a miscarriage.

"All I could think about was another woman mourning over her loss as I did, worried she would never get pregnant again, and reading about my little bundle on the way. It felt a bit disingenuous to not also share the struggle it took for me to get here," she wrote. "Ideally, the more we talk about this issue, the more we can chip away at the unnecessary stigma around it, with the end result being that those of us struggling with loss and infertility will feel less alone."

Baby Boy Brooks

Of course, the latest update regarding the Rauch family detailed that they had welcomed a new addition to the family. On Monday, Melissa, who kept mum regarding her pregnancy, took to Instagram to let her fans know that she had recently given birth to a baby boy.

"I am incredibly thankful and overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Brooks Rauch, who we just welcomed into the world and directly into our hearts," she wrote on Instagram. "His arrival was made possible, in no small part, by the front line heroes - the nurses and doctors who show up each day to make sure that life keeps marching forward, regardless of the circumstances. Words can't describe how grateful I am to have this baby boy join our family, but to say that it is a surreal time to be bringing life into the world is an understatement."
