Who is Nick Kroll's wife, Lily Kwong?

Lily Kwong is a former model, landscape architect, and founder of Studio Lily Kwong and Freedom Gardens.

Her entrance into the modeling industry came in 2007 when she was discovered by a model scout and worked for her cousin, designer Joseph Altuzarra, as a studio assistant and fit model.

Her interest in urban and eco-friendly clothing grew, and she went on to attend Columbia University in 2012 where she received her Bachelor's degree in urban studies.

In 2015 she moved on to collaborate with H&M and Maiyet to create eco-friendly fashion and designed a floral installation for the High Line in partnership with St-Germain in New York City.

Kwong told The New York Times in 2017: “These brands seek me out because of my record and knowledge around sustainable products."

Growing up in Northern California, Kwong earned the nickname Scout for her passion for nature.

“I had a nature club when I was in first grade,” she told Whitewall Thumb. “I was always leading kids into the woods to either forage or gather materials.”

Now working as an environmentalist in fashion and art, Kwong told the outlet she uses climate change and sustainability in her projects.

"As designers, I feel that we have a responsibility to help restore ecosystems where we can," she said.

"In my work, I find so many people are landscape-blind. We’re so disconnected from nature as a culture that it becomes difficult to see the beauty of a single flower.

"I like working at a large scale and confronting people with the natural world or an environmental idea, which I believe can translate into environmental stewardship down the road."

When did Nick and Lily get married?

Kroll and Kwong were married in a stunning oceanside ceremony in November 2020.

The couple met in 2018, and a source told US Weekly: “Things are going well,” in the new relationship.

They said: “They have a lot of fun together obviously and are both real big fans of each other.”

After they were married, Kroll shared a Polaroid photo of their nuptials, in which he and Kwong held hands while posing on a cliff overlooking the ocean in the cute photo.

Kroll shared the shot on social media, writing: "So very thankful for Lily Kwong."

The comedian sported a tuxedo for the wedding while Lily wore a flowy white gown designed by Rushka Bergman.

Their friends commented on the photo, including Sarah Silverman, who joked: "Wheeeee congratulations!!! R u on the left?"

Comedian Dave Hill added: "This is how I find out?! Congrats! Need to figure out what to do with all this potato salad."

Kwong also shared the photo on Instagram and wrote: "So deeply thankful. 11.19.20 + forever @nickkroll."
