Steve Carell Reacts to “Zaddy” Title


Is Steve Carell a zaddy? That’s what he said.

The Office alum weighed in on internet chatter over his silver fox status, joking at the 2026 Emmys that he’s actually the one who “put it out there.” (Click here to see all the celebrities on the red carpet.)

“It’s been fantastic,” Steve exclusively told Justin Sylvester during Live From E!: 2026 Emmys on Sept. 14. “I really buy into the whole thing.”

Besides, the 64-year-old quipped that title certainly doesn’t hurt his longtime marriage to Nancy Carell, with whom he shares kids Annie Carell, 25, and John Carell, 22. 

“She knows the drill with me,” Steve teased. “I’m old news. It’s fine. We get along great—31 years. We’re good.”

And after more than three decades together, the Rooster star—who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the Mariska Hargitay-hosted award show, but ultimately lost to Matthew Rhys—feels like he married “the right person.”

As he sweetly put it, “You get lucky.”
