Kat Dennings is promoting season two of Dollface and popped by The Drew Barrymore Show virtually to chat about it. As we know, Kat is engaged to Andrew W.K. There is nobody better to gush about your love story than Drew. Drew loves love. This is Kat’s first engagement and she’s relishing it, which is lovely to see. So often people focus so much on the wedding that the engagement gets ignored but it’s such a dear time in a couple’s life and it really should be celebrated more. Kat is, though. She told Drew about how much she appreciated Andrew and how glad she was he came along when he did.
Kat Dennings got engaged to musician Andrew W.K. back in May 2021, just days after the world learned about their relationship, and now she’s opening up about their proposal story.
“It’s great. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. He’s a sweet, baby angel,” Kat said about her engagement.
She added, “Well I’m 35, so I waited a very, very good chunk of time to get married and I am so glad I waited until I found the right person. It’s really hard. Everybody goes through the nightmarish time of life looking for that person, or not whatever floats your boat, but I feel very lucky and he’s the best.”
Drew then asked about how Andrew proposed.
Kat said, “He had a special moment that makes me believe in magic. We were doing kissing and we had like a shared feeling. I felt this intense feeling, this is my person, this is it. I can’t be without him this is the man I am supposed to be with. And we looked at each other and we both proposed at the same time. Not planned. No knee down. I don’t even remember what happened after that. We just, we were like, ‘Should we get married?’ ‘Yes.’ And I just burst into tears. I never thought I had it in me because I kind of a toughie but I did, I wept happy tears. I felt this sense of relief like I’ve done it. I made it through the wilderness and found this incredible person. Yeah, no one believes me but I assure you that’s what happened.”

I love Kat’s engagement story. I get squishy about moments when you truly know it’s right and asking each other to get married at the same time would be a huge green flag for me. I get what Kat means by waiting for such a long time, too. I think she’s talking about that period in a single person’s life, usually around mid-20s, when it seems like all your friends get married (and it seems to happen in the same year, too!). Suddenly all eyes are on the single person. I was the single person in my group and always indifferent to the idea of getting married. I wanted kids, though, so I was a good target for the marrieds. The bombardment of marriage propaganda was so heavy, I started wondering if maybe I should get on it. Fortunately, my family didn’t care one way or the other, so they supported my singledom. I pushed through, did my own thing, and then someone came along who made marriage appealing to me. Like Kat, ‘waiting’ worked for me, too.
I finished season two of Dollface. I liked it, just not as much as season one, but I appreciate the changes they tried to make. They rushed too many storylines, though. And once again, people can inexplicably live lavishly with no source of income. But the choice they made at the end for Kat’s character, Jules, was really bold and I forgave some of the other plot holes because of it.
Also, if you watch Kat’s segment on Drew, Drew has her new rescue kitty on her lap. She’s adorbs!
