E! News reports that after more than four decades together, Lily Tomlin and her partner Jane Wagner may finally tie the knot.
"Jane and I have been together for 42 years," Tomlin said tonight at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Pre-Emmy Performers Peer Group reception. She then exclusively revealed to E!, "We're thinking maybe we'll get married."
Tomlin, who turns 74 on Sept. 1, and Wagner, 78, never thought they would see same sex marriage legal in their lifetime. "You didn't think that would happen," the 9 to 5 star said. "It's pretty remarkable." The Supreme Court's recent rulings on DOMA and Prop 8 have paved the way for gay couples like Tomlin and Wagner to finally say, "I do." "You don't really need to get married, but marriage is awfully nice," Tomlin said. "Everybody I know who got married, they say it really makes a difference. They feel very very happy about it." Of course, being the funny lady that she is, Tomlin also Cracked that she and Wagner wouldn't be slipping into wedding gowns. "No rings, no bridal dresses," she said. "Maybe we'll be dressed like chickens."Photo Credit: Walter McBride / WM Photos
