Meet Bill Burr's Beautiful Family and the Comedy Chaos They Create

The Gist:

• Bill Burr is an Emmy-nominated stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster.
• He married actress and producer Nia Renée Hill in 2013.
• The couple has two adorable kids together, a daughter and a son.

American comedian Bill Burr has had quite a successful career; he rose to prominence in the early '90s stand-up scene and is best known for his brash, no-holds-barred approach to comedy. The "comedian's comedian" jokes about a lot of things in his material, even drawing from life with his wife, Nia Renée Hill, and their two kids.

From concealing his "rage" from his daughter – "She's seen glimpses of the anger, but I'm able to smooth it over pretty quickly" — to his marriage to his Bill Burr’s Monday Podcast co-host, Bill's family is central to many of his best jokes.

Just like her famous husband, Nia is also in the entertainment industry! She's an actress, known for appearing in the Netflix original series Santa Clarita Diet and HBO's dramedy Crashing. Nia also voiced Georgia Roosevelt and Nia Roosevelt in the animated series F Is for Family, which Bill created, co-wrote, and starred in.

Nia is also a writer and producer; in 2012, she founded the production company Tenderheaded Films.

In 2003, Nia worked as a talent coordinator on the first season of Chappelle's Show. Bill started appearing on the show in 2004, but Nia revealed via X (formerly known as Twitter) that she didn't meet Bill until a year later when he guest-starred on another show Nia worked on, Tough Crowd With Colin Quin.

They dated for nearly a decade before getting hitched in September 2013.

On her blog, Nia was very open about her marriage to the Mandalorian actor, writing posts on topics such as what to say (and not say) to people in interracial relationships and the struggles of having a more successful partner.

"It was easier to play the role of spoiled housewife than to get my ass up everyday and possibly fail. But I can’t do it anymore. It’s not me," she wrote in 2013. "It may take me a few years, but I want to be an equal financially contributing member of my household. I have to. Not being one in the past few years has made me feel bad and has created an imbalance in my relationship."

At first, Bill was nervous about having a kid, but as he told Boston Magazine in 2017 about his wife's first pregnancy, " I was very excited. Believe it or not, I always wanted to be a dad."

Nia gave birth to the couple's first child, a daughter named Lola, on Jan. 20, 2017. They welcomed a son in June 2020, and the couple has not publicly revealed his name.

In September 2020, Nia tweeted about Lola and her desire to follow in her dad's footsteps. She wrote, "Bill told our daughter that he was going out to tell jokes. She asked me what that meant. I told her it means Daddy makes people laugh. She said, 'I wanna tell jokes too!' Pray for me, y’all."

However, during a March 2022 episode of the podcast The Scroll Down, Nia revealed that Lola "reminds me a lot of myself at her age. She's a little bit more combative ... I was a little more low-key — she is half her father."
