Andrew Schulz, the comedian with a knack for pushing boundaries, found a partner who not only complements his humor but also carves her own impressive path—Emma Turner Schulz. Their love story is a mix of comedy, career shifts, and a shared life that took a significant turn in 2024 with the arrival of their daughter, Shiloh Jean Schulz.
But before they became parents, they were just two people navigating life in New York City, where Emma was building a career in fashion before making a leap into the tech industry.
Who Is Andrew Schulz’s Wife, Emma Turner Schulz?
Emma Turner, born on February 14, 1995, is the daughter of Kristin and Quentin Turner. She pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Fiction and Fashion at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, a program designed for students to craft their own curriculum. Her early career saw her interning at Marie Claire in 2014 before landing roles at luxury fashion houses like Balenciaga and Barneys. Her focus was merchandising and brand strategy, but by 2020, she decided to pivot. She enrolled at NYU’s Stern School of Business, where she later earned her MBA in 2022. That same year, she transitioned into tech, taking on a role as a program manager for AI projects at Apple.
While Emma was going through career shifts, Andrew Schulz was rising as one of the most-watched stand-up comedians on YouTube, holding that title for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019. His comedic style, a mix of quick wit and social commentary, eventually landed him a Netflix special in 2020—Schulz Saves America. But while he was breaking into mainstream comedy, he was also falling in love. The details of how Emma and Andrew met remain somewhat private, but it’s known that they started dating in the late 2010s while Emma was still in college.
For the most part, their relationship was kept under wraps until October 20, 2020, when Schulz surprised fans with an engagement announcement. He recounted the proposal story on his podcast, Flagrant 2, sharing how he popped the question with an oval solitaire ring at Emma’s favorite restaurant. Emma had been discussing an interview she had for her master’s program, mentioning how odd it felt to call Andrew her “boyfriend” at this stage in her life.
In response, Schulz seized the moment, dropped to one knee, and said, “Yeah, we should change that.” The proposal was so nerve-wracking for him that he fumbled his words, accidentally asking, “Will you spend the LEST of your RIFE with me?”—a mistake he later laughed about on social media.
Fast forward to December 18, 2021, and the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Montecito, California. It was a classy affair with close friends and family, and while they kept most details private, a few snapshots made their way onto social media. Emma stunned in a classic tulle mermaid gown, while Schulz opted for an ivory blazer, black trousers, and a bow tie. The reception had a playful touch, with the newlyweds spotted on the dance floor wearing In-N-Out Burger paper hats.
Andrew Schulz and Emma Turner Share a Daughter, Shiloh Jean
In February 2024, Andrew Schulz and his wife Emma Turner entered a new chapter—parenthood. Their daughter, Shiloh Jean Schulz, was born, marking a shift in both of their lives. Schulz shared an emotional Instagram post welcoming his daughter, writing, “You’ve got such an amazing journey ahead of you. I can’t wait to see it unfold. I know you can’t read any of this yet, but I am deliriously happy you’re here. I love you so much.” Parenthood, as Schulz would later joke, came with its fair share of exhaustion. He admitted that he and Emma were experiencing a level of sleep deprivation they had never known, but all the exhaustion faded the moment Shiloh smiled at them.
Emma’s presence in Schulz’s life isn’t just as a supportive spouse—she has her own creative passions. She runs a food blog called Blistered Peppers, where she shares recipes, restaurant reviews, and cooking tips. Her blog reflects her love for food, which, interestingly, was something she had to introduce to Andrew. In a humorous recollection, she wrote about how when they met, Schulz barely ate bread, consumed only one meal a day, and often chose questionable sushi spots. One such spot resulted in Emma getting food poisoning on their third date. Needless to say, her influence has since refined his palate.
Through the years, Schulz has been vocal about his admiration for Emma, often celebrating her birthday—which coincides with Valentine’s Day—with heartfelt Instagram tributes. In 2022, he shared, “Happy Birthday & Valentine’s Day my love ❤️ Thank you for giving me the best days of my life. I feel so incredibly lucky to get to spend the rest of MINE with you. You are the kindest, most selfless, and loving person I’ve ever met.”
Now, with Schulz’s latest Netflix special, Andrew Schulz: LIFE, premiering in March 2025, his comedy has taken a more personal turn. The special heavily features his experiences as a husband and father, including the anxieties and joys of raising a daughter. One bit in particular explores the idea of “daddy issues,” poking fun at the immense pressure dads feel knowing that anything that goes wrong in their daughter’s life could somehow be pinned on them.
