Fans of the comedian theorized that Mulaney and Tendler’s marriage was in trouble in December 2020. Shortly before Mulaney checked himself into a rehab center, followers noticed that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram. Tendler then removed her married name from her profile before deactivating Instagram entirely. She has since returned to the social media platform, but any traces of Mulaney have been deleted.
Mulaney has not posted on the platform since Dec. 2, 2020, shortly before entering rehab. He checked out in February, after 60 days of treatment.
