Did you remember that Amber Tamblyn, 28, and David Cross, 47, were engaged? I didn’t. Kaiser put it in the links in August, and a quick look back at our archives reveals that these two were first spotted making out at a party back in 2008. They’re still together, they’re engaged, and it sounds like they’re having a lot of fun. US Weekly got a brief quote from the happy couple on their upcoming wedding. There’s no date given for when it’s planned and they just joke around about it, but their wedding is probably coming sometime soon.
David Cross and Amber Tamblyn’s nuptials will be “a fun show for our guests,” the Modern Family actor, 47, tells Us. “We’ll take the piss out of a traditional wedding.” He cheekily adds that he knew the actress, 28, was The One because “a letter in the mail” said so. Jokes the bride-to-be: “He’s a pathological liar.”
[From US Weekly, print edition, December 5, 2011]
Well good for them! I know Amber from “House” and she was also in 127 Hours. I don’t watch “Modern Family” and I didn’t get into “Arrested Development” when it was on, so I’ll always know Cross as Ian from Alvin and The Chipmunks. Cross is coming back in the third installment of the series, Alvin and The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. It’s out this December and I’m sure my kid will drag me to it. The Chipmunks movies have CGI characters as stars so there’s not likely to be a ton of promotion from the voice actors or the actors who play humans. I’d love to hear more about Cross and Tamblyn’s wedding, though. It would be great to see photos too. It sounds like they’re going to throw a great party.

cute
Agreed. She’s old enough that if she wants to jump an old dude’s bones, go for it.
I think so too; she’s very mature, and he’s kind of juvenile, so they even out!
They both look really normal, I dig it.
Not that they care haha
skeeves me out
Oooh I wonder what Riff thinks (her dad played Riff in West Side story with Natalie Wood)
I love them together! She also was on general hospital and Joan of Arcadia. And he alwasys seems super funny and nice when he does interviews.
The heart wants what it wants.
If you find a good man or woman go for it. The world be damned for its unasked for opinions.
Congrats to them both.
“The heart wants what the heart wants” is the quote Woody Allen gave when trying to justify his inappropriate relationship with his step-daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Probably not the best example to use.
Soon-Yi PREVIN was never Woody Allen’s step-daughter. Woody never married Mia, nor adopted any of her numerous children. Soon-Yi was adopter by Mia Farrow and her former husband Andre Previn.
Since Woody and Soon-Yi are still together, he was right when he said “The heart wants what the heart wants”.
@contrario
Although that’s the case it’s still gross. They (Mia and Woody) had 1 biological child that also took the last name of “Farrow” and not Allen (or any name associated) and 2 other adopted kids. So whether Soon was his child or not she married her brothers father. Mia and Woody were together for 10 years so this wasn’t a quick relationship and Soon and Woody had no real interaction. Woody was taking naked pics of Soon so they say when she was 18 but could have been sooner than that. I don’t just blame Woody I blame both of them. Woody for being a backstabbing perv and Soon for being an ungrateful backstabbing person.
Contrario it doesn’t matter it is still wrong. Would you want the man you “didn’t marry” of 10 years sleeping with your kid? It’s disrespectful to Mia, manipulation of the child and just plain disgusting. I was a HUGE fan of his until he turned out to be a pedophile taking naked pics of her.
They’re walking a fine line between skeevy and cute. At least it’s not an age gap like Stodden!
Aw, I love her! She’s a great actress. Anyone else ever watch Joan of Arcadia? No? Just me. K. I’ll just…I’ll see myself out.
It was a great show.
I loved that show!
I did! 😀
He was on Modern Family? when?
In this season, he was the guy Claire had to deal with when she was trying to run for city council. He was only on 2 episodes, so it hardly qualifies him as “the Modern Family actor.’
I thought that was weird too! I watch that show and could not place him at first. that said, I love him in everything else I have seen him in! 19 years isnt so bad.
Omg it’s creepy. and gross.
47-28=19 year age diff. My parents have 20 years between them. Not quite so crazy….
Weird but cute. I always thought he was a bit of a dick, but he totally won me over as Tobias Funke, the anal-rapist (analyst/therapist) on Arrested Development. Seriously, funniest show EVER. And I remember her when she was wee Emily Quartermaine on General Hospital. I hope they last!
I thought she was great on GH. Loved him as Tobias, too. They seem like a quirky couple. I hope they last too.
I thought he was hilarious as Elliot’s brother Donny on Just Shoot Me! He pretended to have a brain injury because he didn’t want to grow up but he let the truth be known to Maya by hitting on her. Sounds awful but he pulled it off.
THAT’S WHERE I FIRST LOVED HIM. Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pie!!
YES! That was easily the funniest episode of Just Shoot Me EVER and David made it that! I still quote “chicken pot chicken pot chicken pot pie! He was in one of the Scary Movies, too…the second one, maybe? He is hilarious. I only know Amber Tamblyn from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the beginning of The Ring…but I really like her. I think it’s a cool pairing and wish them well!
It saddens me that no one has mentioned “Mr. Show with Bob and David” yet…
Seriously, Mr. Show was awesome.
Although I do love him as Tobias too. And I even enjoy his stand-up. I used to have a weird crush on him actually, so I get it. Funny people are attractive.
And she’s cute too. I remember her from Joan of Arcadia and those Travelling Pants movies.
They’re odd, but I really like them as a couple.
OMG!! Thank you! Mr. SHow was the most awesome show ever! One of my favorite skits was the East Coast/West Coast ventriloquist rivalry.
I don’t watch much TV so I’ve never seen Arrested Development or CSI’s or any of that. I’m racking my brain trying to figure out where I know this guy from. He played the video store manager in Men In Black, remember! Jeez, dating myself aren’t I.
If it helps–
He plays Jim Carey’s best friend in “Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind”
Excuse me while I go cry just for thinking about that movie…
She is kind of an old soul so I love them together. She is old enough to make decisions on who she wants to marry. My best friend’s parents are 20 years apart, and they have the most stable marriage out of anyone I know.
Tobias!
I met Amber once. She came in where I worked (in a RURAL place which was weird)and bought some chapstick, and she seemed really friendly. David Cross is hilarious, I bet they have a good time.
LOVE LOVE LOVE David Cross, ever since Bob and David. I thought it was weird he was dating someone so much younger, but it’s been quite a few years now, so she must be a cool person (not merely younger arm candy.)
He’s screamingly funny, not just on TV/movies, but in his books.
At this point it actually makes me mad when people say they’ve never seen Arrested Development, because it was the best comedy on television and it was killed by FOX/lack of enthusiasm of viewers too busy watching reality television. People who never saw it should be ashamed, I tell you. Ashhhamed.
Ok ok, I’ll watch it when I get the chance! I’m sorry! I have been meaning to. Don’t guilt me I have so many other shows I’m watching. 😉
Just stop whatever you are watching and watch AD. You won’t regret it.
Alright, end of shaming. But its on netflix instant stream right now! Pretty soon you will realize that you never wanted to live in a world without Tobias Funke!!
Ooh I have Netflix, I will definitely watch it! I’m convinced.
Absolutely agree. Impossible for a thinking person not to love AD. I have purposely not watched the last five episodes so that if I ever get sick or injured, I have something to look forward to…but now that they are poised to make new episodes and a MOVIE, I will have to finish up Season 3!
I’m Oscar! Dot com!
That show was great, Mr. Show, too (R U Da 1?). Now they’re taking Community away from me, sigh.
Let me remind you that that “stupid all-anal action” paid for that mountain bike of yours.
As if these Ken and Barbie couples wouldn’t be far more bizarre behind closed doors than David and Amber.
Hail to the odds, you’re normal ones !
They make an odd but sweet couple – good on them!
I love them both and wish them the best.
It does seem unusual but I don’t know them personally. I know Amber from GH and JoA. If it weren’t for the beard maybe I wouldn’t think they looked so mismatched.
They’re a random couple, but they go together well. I think they’re cute in a quirky way. I hope they last. =)
AD is one of the best shows ever!
he has gained a ton of weight. interesting that if he were a woman, that would have been the main theme of this post. just guessing.
Oh yeah. That’ll last. Girl, don’t do it. 47 year olds are already having MAJOR erection problems.
That’s a joke, right? My hubby is 43 and never has a problem….You mean it’s going to die in 4 years?
Hahaha!
DAMN!! My husband only has one more year of erections left?!
I like them. They seem as though they are a good fit for one another.
They’re cute. They both seem quirky in a genuine way and she’s old enough if the age difference doesn’t bother them, shouldn’t bother anyone else either.
She’s too pretty for him. I sure hope he shaves for the wedding!
He’s totally hot!
I get the same creepy feeling I got with Britany Murphy & her fat loser of a hubby
Um no, this man has a career and I doubt he’s feeding her perscription meds.
He is too old. This marriage will not last. Ridiculous.
It’s interesting to consider the dynamics of a couple who appear mismatched on the outside; like, what is it about him that makes up for physical attractiveness? From the comments, sounds like he has a great personality. I think that’s cool and we shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Bet their marriage will last a while, considering it doesn’t appear based on the shallow characteristics of most HWood couples.
anyone else excited that new arrested development episodes will be available on netflix in 2013?
2013? I don’t think I’ll be able to stomach giving them my money that much longer.
I’m glad that’s not my daughter, whatever makes them happy I guess, good luck but I don’t think it will last.
Damn, if I had a daughter, I’d be happy if she was engaged to a man she loved and who treated her well. That’s hard enough to find nowadays without limiting yourself to certain ages. If she’s happy, be happy for her.
A little weird but both are old enough to make the decision and I don’t see an ulterior motive for them being together other than love so go for it … none of anyone else’s business.

Good for them. Whatever works, right?
Double standard but it works here. I don’t think they would get so much support of their ages were reversed. I think it helps that neither are plastic and are on equal footing careerwise.
I don’t know him but I remember Amber from Joan of Arcadia which was cancelled after only 2 seasons. She also played the artsy girl in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!
I always say you should wait 3 years before getting married. They seem to be a stable loving couple so it’s more than OK. She’s 28, not 18.
and they’ve already lasted longer than most hwood couples.
He is my celebrity crush, so I get it. Humor can win over anyone.
He’s mine too!
Well, Amber’s grown up, no longer that travelling pants girl or Joan. The only thing that makes this creepy is that Amber looks like 12 (even with matronly arms) and that David Cross does not look like 47.
Does he look older or younger to you? She looks 20 to me. He looks 50 something to me.
There is someone for everyone I believe, plus you can never judge a book by it’s cover, they may click well emotionally and spiritually, We don’t see that. David Cross is a very funny and intelligent comedian, Amber seems like the type of girl who does not take herself to seriously and would enjoy some laughs. Congrats to them, I wish them well.
It’s not the age difference that bothers me so much as the fact that he is so unattractive. I know, it’s shallow, but I just can’t imagine why such a cute girl would be attracted to him. I really don’t know anything about him, so maybe he’s super nice, smart, funny and kind. At least I hope so.
If it means he won’t hit on the rest of us. Go for it! He’s not MY type but he is a funny guy so that may be it. It’s not like she is a young vapid hottie – young yes but totally normal looking/seeming.
They’re a cute couple.
If he didn’t look like Grizzly Adams it wouldn’t look skeevy. He looks like he’s in some parole database.
Shave dude, shave!
Which one of them is supposed to be in modern family? I do like modern family but…if that was a typeo for arrested development, they are not even close.
They are a sweet couple.
Excuse me, aren’t we the same group of commenters that said Ashton cheating on Demi was an inevitability because he would get bored of her old wrinkly ass? Why doesn’t anyone seem to think that the age difference will cause Amber to cheat on David’s old wrinkly ass? A bit of a double standard, isn’t it?
Yes, but it’s biology. What would happen to our species if young men chased after women past their reproductive prime? Happily, we are beyond mere biology. Well some of us are.
I think he’s very funny and she was fine on House. But these age differences disgust me. He looks like her Dad. My dad is 22 years older than me, so maybe that’s why if creeps me out. I like men my own age and hated when 50-70 year old men hit on me when I was in my twenties.
I think they are precious together. The age difference is nothing. You can’t help who you fall in love with…my other half is 22 years older than me and we’ve been together for almost 20 years. I wouldn’t trade a minute of those years.
Good luck to these two! They are adorable.
As Robin Williams says, some men need a moral GPS to beep louder as they approach someone who could be their kids age.
20 years is very real — not just a number. It’s a number marking a factual, biological generation. 7 years, 15 years even is something you can play with. But if your kid comes home with someone your age you know you’ve done something wrong. If your son dates someone half his age he’s pretty nasty. 2,000 years ago people’s options were limited so people could marry 13 year olds and some people sold their kids to the local rich man.
But societies evolve too.
Sorry, but you’re generally going to miss a lifetime with a partner with that many decades between you. As you enter your 30’s he’s retirement age. In your 40’s or 50’s he’s gone. It’s creepy.
Very creepy, and they even look alike.
Wait, you mean David Cross ISN’T gay?
Yes!
I thought for sure I had read that he was gay. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).
This marriage actually surprised me.
Eh, doesn’t matter. Happiness to them both.
Sorry, but something about him really creeps me out.
I wouldn’t say he’s cute (his eyes creep me out) but I tend to find geeky guys with beards cute so maybe she has the same sensibility that I do.
He would make an excellent santa.
Joking aside though… him?
Stay homeless, Tobias.
