In an interview with Haute Living, Seth went into more detail about their first meeting. "I worked on [Da Ali G Show], and [Will] was dating [Lauren's] friend," Seth said. "Will and I were friends, and he said that the girl he was dating had a friend, and that we might like each other, so we went to a birthday party and met."

Apparently, the pair had their first date that evening: a late-night dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches that lasted until dawn.

As Lauren recalled to Vulture, the two were a perfect match from the beginning. "This was before The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and I had no idea who he was," she said. "And I was really shy around guys, but he was also awkward and weird around girls."

Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen's Relationship Timeline (5)

In 2012, Seth and Lauren created the Alzheimer's charity Hilarity for Charity. As Seth wrote in Glamour, they created the charity because of Lauren's mother's early-onset Alzheimer's. "[Lauren] experienced Alzheimer's with her grandparents; she could see the signs," he wrote. "She cried about it a lot because she knew."

He went on, "Just sitting there, watching it happen, was emotionally brutal. So we started Hilarity for Charity to raise money for research and awareness."

Seth also spoke to PEOPLE about their charity in 2014, saying, "We quickly realized there was nothing to help the situation, so out of a sense of desperation and wanting to feel like we were doing something for the cause, we, along with some friends, started Hilarity for Charity in the form of a comedy variety show. We started the charity because there was really nothing else we could do."

He went on, "Comedy is 'the something' we're actually capable of doing. Because it's such a bummer, we thought it might be nice to, in some way, make it fun for people."

"I don't know anyone who works harder than my husband … That was incredible for me to learn from," Lauren continued. "Certainly watching him, it was like, well, he's doing it, I'm going to do it too then! It's been fun. I feel lucky that I have someone that I live with who inspires me and pushes me."

The couple worked together on the Netflix film Like Father, which also starred Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer. Although Lauren was the writer-director of the comedy, Seth admitted that it took some convincing for his wife to give him a part in the movie.

"You would think it would be easy for me to get cast in the film because of that — it wasn't," Seth said on The Tonight Show. "The role was for, like, a Canadian man in his mid-30s and I read the script and I was like, 'Perfect.' And then my wife is like, 'So I'm starting auditions next week.' And then she would just keep showing me these auditions of all these guys. She's like, 'This guy is handsome, what do you think of this guy?' "

When Seth told Lauren that he wanted the role, she was hesitant. "She was like, 'I don't know … The character isn't like you,' " he recalled. "I eventually talked her into letting me do it."

"It has all the ingredients of a very good time," Rogen told PEOPLE of the event. "And all in the name of something that is not at all a good time. I think that contrast is what has been interesting for people and it's been a draw for people — to attack a subject that is decidedly not that fun with an approach that is as fun as we can make it."

Lauren added, "I think because I felt alone, it was important to create something where young people could feel a part of this disease and feel like they could have a hand in fighting against it."

She went on, "That idea just led to, combined with the fact that Seth is a comedian and I'm kind of funny, it's just what came naturally to us."

"Seeing Lauren talk about it is very impressive to me," he told PEOPLE. "How much she talks about it, and how willing she is to talk about it.

The topic of children once again came up for Seth during a 2021 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. During the show, Seth revealed that he and Lauren were still uninterested in the idea because of their lifestyle.

"I wouldn't be able to do all this work that I like ... People are always like — it's something I think I was uncomfortable answering this before — but they were like, 'How do you do so much?' The answer is I don't have kids ... I have nothing else to do," Seth said.

He added that Lauren was even less interested. "I would say she wants kids less than I do. I could probably be talked into it; she's like, 'no,' " said the actor.

"I don't know anyone who gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our non-kids," he went on. "Like, we're f------- psyched all the time! We're laying in bed on Saturday mornings, smoking weed, watching movies naked. If we had kids, we could not be f------- doing this."

When he and Lauren realized the concert was being filmed, they hoped to hide in the background. "We're not equipped mentally to deal with doing this right now. So we go up to the desk and they give us our tickets, and our seat numbers literally are 1A and 1B," he joked.

Lauren continued, "It hasn't been easy, but with the support of incredible friends and family it feels like we've made at least small difference and I'm really just so proud of all of us. Thank you to @sethrogen @raffi9 @tumco & @matthewseabass—HFC literally wouldn't exist without you."

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Seth revealed that he once cried in front of a date prior to meeting Lauren in 2004.

"It was my birthday coming up, and so I asked her … 'Let's go out to dinner on my birthday!' and I was like, 'I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend at this dinner on my birthday!' " the Pam & Tommy star said of a woman whom he was "hooking up" with at the time.

But when Seth asked the woman to be his girlfriend, she said no. "I started crying!" he recalled. "Then I was like … 'We need to eat. Like, we can't leave.' And she was like, 'It's your birthday. And there was a cake coming and s--- so it's like, I had to sit there and this poor woman had to sit there with me as I wept into my truffle mac and cheese."
