Darren Criss and his wife Mia Criss (née Swier) are embarking on an exciting new chapter in their lives as they prepare to welcome their second child! The couple broke the news on December 21, 2023, sharing their joy and anticipation with fans. Although their marriage began in 2019, their friendship and relationship have deep roots that extend much further back.
The announcement came with a creative twist as Darren shared a fun, photoshopped image of the Mamma Mia movie poster featuring himself, Mia, and their daughter. Alongside the playful imagery, he included a few pregnancy tests, playfully captioning it with “COMING SOON.” He humorously added, “Let’s hope the sequel is better than the photoshop.” This playful spirit gives fans a glimpse into their fun-loving relationship!
How Did Darren and Mia Meet?
Darren and Mia's journey together began long before his breakout role in Glee, which became a cultural phenomenon in 2009. They first crossed paths in 2006, forming a friendship that would blossom into romance. Reflecting on those early days, Darren admitted in a 2013 interview that he had no idea fame was on the horizon when they started dating. This foundation of friendship has played a significant role in strengthening their bond over the years.
Mia Is a Director and Producer
In addition to being a supportive partner, Mia is also a talented director and producer in the entertainment industry. She made her mark by writing, directing, and producing the short film A (Not So) Civil Union in 2009. Furthermore, her career includes producing promotional content for Fox Networks, showcasing her versatility and creativity. Interestingly, before tying the knot, Mia and Darren opened a piano bar together in Los Angeles, demonstrating their shared passion for the arts.
They Got Married in 2019
After several years of dating, Darren proposed to Mia in January 2018. He shared the joyful news on Instagram, highlighting their playful adventures together. Their wedding took place in February 2019 in a romantic ceremony in New Orleans, surrounded by family and friends, including many of Darren's Glee co-stars. Their relationship has only deepened since then, with Darren often expressing his appreciation for Mia's qualities and their shared life journey.
They Have a Daughter Together
As they look forward to their second child, Darren and Mia already cherish their role as parents to their daughter, Bluesy Belle. They announced Mia's first pregnancy in October 2021 with a fun photo that combined their love for music and family. Their daughter was born on April 11, 2022, marking another joyful milestone in their lives. This loving family continues to share their musical journey, showcasing the bond they have built together.
