Seth Green has been a familiar face in Hollywood since childhood, but his personal life, particularly his marriage, is just as fascinating as his career. Born Seth Benjamin Gesshel-Green on February 8, 1974, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he has built a career spanning decades, from playing Scott Evil in the Austin Powers series to voicing Chris Griffin in Family Guy. But one of the most important relationships in his life didn’t begin on a film set—it started in a comic book store.
Does Seth Green Have Kids With Longtime Wife, Clare Grant? Inside Their Married Life and Plans for Children
In 2007, Seth Green first crossed paths with his wife Clare Grant at the reopening of Golden Apple Comics, a well-known comic book shop in Los Angeles. Green was there signing copies of his comic book series Freshmen, while Grant, an actress and model, was taking photos at the event. They barely spoke that night, but fate wasn’t done with them yet. Their mutual love of comic books and pop culture brought them together again at Comic-Con, where they hit it off instantly. What started as a friendship soon turned into something more, but not right away. As Clare later explained, “It wasn’t love at first sight—it was besties at first sight.”
Their bond grew quickly, and by the time they embarked on the two-week Robot Chicken Skate Party Bus Tour in 2009, they knew they were meant to be more than friends. On New Year’s Eve of that year, Seth proposed with a custom-designed ring he had spent months perfecting with a jeweler. Clare, completely unaware that a proposal was coming, was overjoyed.
Just a few months later, on May 1, 2010, the couple exchanged vows at a private vineyard in Northern California. The ceremony was officiated by filmmaker Craig Brewer, a close friend of Clare’s, and she walked down the aisle in a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown, while Seth opted for a custom-designed suit by Dennis Kim.
From the beginning, their relationship has been filled with laughter and shared passions. Clare, who made her Hollywood debut in 2005’s Walk the Line, is an accomplished actress and voice artist, having worked on projects like Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Robot Chicken, the latter of which was co-created by Green. They’ve also collaborated on several films, including Changeland in 2019, which Green wrote, directed, and starred in alongside his wife.
Their love for gaming and cosplay has further strengthened their bond—Clare has competed in gaming tournaments, including the 2019 Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am, and the couple frequently attend conventions together, often dressed as their favorite characters.
One thing that has remained a constant in their marriage is their decision not to have children. Seth Green has been vocal about the pressure society places on couples to start a family, once joking, “People have just gotten used to certain cultural cycles and they can’t wait for the end of them.” Clare echoed his sentiments, explaining that as soon as they got married, people began asking when they’d be having kids. Despite the external pressure, they’ve stood firm in their choice, proving that love doesn’t need to follow a conventional path.
Their relationship has also had its share of challenges, including public scrutiny. In 2018, a former friend of the couple, Isaac Kappy, made serious allegations against Green, which were widely discredited. Kappy, who was later investigated for harassment and threats against the couple, tragically passed away in 2019. Through it all, Seth Green and his wife Clare Grant remained strong, continuing to focus on their marriage and creative projects.
Over a decade into their marriage, they are still best friends first and foremost. Clare once wrote on Instagram, “You promised me a life of adventure, and I promised you I wouldn’t kill you. Looks like we are both keeping up our end of the bargain… for now.” With humor, love, and a shared passion for all things geek, Seth Green and Clare Grant continue to defy expectations, proving that a Hollywood marriage can indeed stand the test of time.
