He shares two kids with Lee
Armstrong and Lee are the parents oftwo little ones, sonsApollo JoosungandRaphael Joobaek. The couple welcomed them in August 2016 and April 2019, respectively.
While Lee described the attention she’s been receiving for her first major leading role at age 40 as “a total dream,” she’s aware of her life’s reality as someone who doubles as an actress and a mom of two little kids.
“I am still a mother of two very young children,” Lee told PEOPLE in June 2023. “It’s a sharp pivot from great reviews to, ‘Where is my breakfast?’ ”
Armstrongposted a sweet Instagram tributeto Lee on Mother’s Day in 2023. “Raising kids with a partner is a gamble. When you start dating someone in your 20s you’re generally not considering whether they can whip up a rocket out of a cardboard boxes,” he began in the caption.
“No parent is perfect, or very good, at first. I’m not. But I feel like I hit the lottery with you @thegreta (and while lotteries are problematic they do fund schools or something I think so double win?) I love you happy Mother’s Day.”

Armstrong and Lee lived together in New York City prior to their move to California. After a decade, the couple moved from Brooklyn to an L.A. suburb in 2020 to live a quieter family life.
The move was an ironic one for Lee, who toldW Magazinethat she was “never coming back” to the town from which she now lives 30 minutes away. After Lee was cast onThe Morning Show, she and Armstrong moved to their California hilltop property that was once a goat farm.
