She is Kristen Wiig.
Kristen and her husband Avi Rothman have two children, twins named Shiloh and Luna.
They were born in January 2020 via surrogacy after Wiig and Rothman struggled with in vitro fertilization (IVF) for three years.
Wiig has spoken about the 'bittersweet' journey to motherhood and the impact her children have had on her life.
This comes after news Kristen is set to star alongside Bill Murray in Epiphany.
Max Barbakow, the director of Epiphany, said: 'It's a rare, delightful experience when a story takes you on a journey that all at once manages to make you laugh, make you feel, and hold a mirror up to the wonderful absurdities of everyday life.
'It's even more delightful when your spirit guides are Bill Murray and Kristen Wiig. But 'Epiphany' carries that breadth of tone, depth of wisdom, and such a lush sense of cinematic possibility, all while teeing up iconic roles for two already-iconic, totally original unicorns in Kristen and Billy.'
The upcoming movie centres on Favorite Ives, an heiress who is facing destitution after spending her entire fortune. The character, played by Kristen, is therefore required to find a rich husband in just two weeks, or she risks becoming homeless.
Favorite's search for a rich husband leads her towards Bill's on-screen character, billionaire Oz Bell, who is wowed by her spirit and spontaneity. Despite this, their relationship proves to be very complicated.
Bill and Kristen are both serving as executive producers on the comedy project, alongside Jillian Apfelbaum and Margot Hand.
Bill remains one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and the acclaimed actor recently admitted that he actually prefers to play complicated on-screen characters, because he can often relate to their failings.
During an appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, he explained: 'It's always interesting when you're playing a guy who has done some damage. I know I've done some damage.'
The 'Groundhog Day' star has enjoyed huge success in his career, starring in films such as 'Lost in Translation' and the 'Ghostbusters' franchise. However, Bill also confessed to being 'lazy' at different times in his career.
The movie star reflected: 'I've been lazy. I don't have an agent anymore, so I'm not the first person people think of to be in studio movies.'
Despite this, Bill suggested that some of his recent film projects - including 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' - have given him a renewed sense of enthusiasm for the movie business.
The veteran actor - who was a member of the 'Saturday Night Live' cast, before achieving huge success in Hollywood - explained: 'Only in this last year, doing these, has reawakened me about searching for material.
'I've lived the life of a bass … waiting for something to come down at me. If something lands in my mouth, I'll eat it.'
Last year she said Wiig never thought she would be in any more Despicable Me movies.
The actress voiced the role of Miss Hattie in the first installment of the animation franchise - which centres on a former supervillain turned secret agent named Gru, his adoptive daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, and his yellow-colored Minions - and was delighted to be asked back to play her role in the fourth film.
She told Who magazine: 'I was so happy to play Miss Hattie in the first movie, but then just kind of assumed that since the girls were adopted, I wouldn't be in any others. So, the fact that they asked me to come back and be a different character for the next three films is amazing, and working on them has been one of my favorite experiences.'
The Bridesmaids star is even excited for her children to be able to see the new film because it has such a 'generational appeal' and is looking forward to sharing something with them that she has been a part of.
She said: 'The kids have seen the first film and they just love Minions. So, I'm very excited to see 'Despicable Me 4' with them. It's nice to have something we can all watch together that I've been a part of.
'Given how long the franchise has been around, it has generational appeal. , I wish I had [Miss Hattie's] energy! In this film, you see her mama bear come out, and I think I'm like that with my family a little bit, too. So Lucy loves her work, but family comes first, and that's something I can relate to, for sure'
