Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s Relationship Timeline
Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach are in the movie-making business — but they choose to keep their romance out of the limelight whenever possible.
The twosome began as coworkers in 2010 when Gerwig played Florence in Baumbach’s Greenberg. Later that year, Baumbach split from Jennifer Jason Leigh, with whom he shares son Rohmer, after five years of marriage. In the wake of his breakup, the While We’re Young writer’s dynamic with Gerwig turned romantic.
Gerwig and Baumbach proceeded to become two of Hollywood’s best-known collaborators in the years that followed cowriting 2012’s Frances Ha, 2015’s Mistress America and 2022’s White Noise.
Their joint writing venture for 2023’s Barbie, however, may be their biggest project to date — and according to Gerwig, Baumbach had no clue she signed them up to write the Margot Robbie-led film.

“I said, ‘And Noah would like to write it too.’ And I had not really talked to Noah about this,” Gerwig recalled during a November 2022 appearance on Dua Lipa’s “At Your Service” podcast. “I think I had a 6-month-old baby when I said yes? And I wasn’t necessarily running everything by him … It was in March of 2020 that Noah said, ‘Are we meant to be writing a Barbie movie?’ I said, ‘Yes.’”
She continued: “He said, ‘I don’t have any ideas for that! Why didn’t you sign us up to write a different thing?’ And I was like, ‘Because I have a feeling. I like Margot and I have a feeling.’”

Turns out nobody’s paying attention.”
