Michael Rapaport's love story with his wife, Kebe Rapaport (née Dunn), spans decades.

The I Am Rapaport podcast host and actress first dated in the '90s before going their separate ways. Michael went on to marry television producer and writer Nichole Beattie in 2000, and they welcomed two children together, sons Julian and Maceo.

After Michael and Nichole divorced in 2007, he shared his perspective on marriage in an interview with Celebrity Dirty Laundry. “I think marriage is like a job. It’s a work in progress," the Fallout star said in 2012. "I don’t think there are any secrets to it. You have to put into it as much as you want to get out of it."

Although Michael has not publicly shared how he and Kebe reconnected, the couple were spotted at a New York Knicks game together in 2012. The actors eventually married in 2016 after several years of dating.

Today, the couple are incredibly close and often post heartfelt messages about each other on social media. In 2021, Kebe wrote a touching birthday tribute to Michael, which read in part, “Fearless and Funniest person I know. The most generous. The most complex temperamental sensitive loving creature. My other best friend.”

While Michael has not revealed many details about his relationship with Kebe, he told Celebrity Dirty Laundry: “I think the most important thing in any relationship, whether it’s a marriage or a girlfriend, even your friends, you have to maintain a certain amount of communication and level of respect for each other.”

So who is Michael Rapaport's wife? Here’s everything to know about Kebe Rapaport and her relationship with the fellow actor.

Most recently, in April 2024, Michael and Kebe were walking around West Hollywood, California, and wanted to stop by TomTom and Schwartz and Sandy's, which are businesses owned by Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they were able to confirm whether the spots were open.
