Later that year, John also mentioned Annamarie in his stand-up comedy special 'New In Town'
In his stand-up special "New In Town," John mentioned Annamarie. "I really like dating Jewish women," John said in reference to his girlfriend.
"They're great, because like I think a lot of problems people have in relationships are with communication because guys don't know what women are thinking. And with Jewish women, you do not have to guess what they are thinking … they will tell you," he joked.
In 2013, the couple adopted a French Bulldog named Petunia

On July 5, 2014, John and Annamarie were married in Boiceville, New York, in an area with an impressive view of the Catskills. They were wed by friend and comedian Dan Levy and the wedding had a 1920s and woodland-deco theme.

In 2015, John described their wedding ceremony in his comedy special 'The Comeback Kid'
"My wife is Jewish, she's a New-York Jew. I did it!" John said in his comedy special "The Comeback Kid" on Netflix.
"Now, I was raised Catholic. I don't know if you can tell that from the everything about me. My wife is Jewish, I grew up Catholic, so we got married by a friend. Being married by a friend is a beautiful ceremony that alienates both families' religions while confusing the elderly people at the wedding," he joked.
In 2016, Annamarie was John's make-up artist for his Broadway show
In 2016, John and comedian Nick Kroll took to Broadway for their hit show, "Oh, Hello" In the show, they played two elderly men, Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland, and Annamarie helped transform them into these characters.
"It was hands-down the most rewarding thing that I did in makeup in my entire makeup career," Annamarie told Nylon magazine in a 2019 interview. "We did 140 shows just on Broadway, that doesn't include the tour and off-Broadway. I went from writing books, which was very solitary, to working on Broadway on something really collaborative and that was so fun."
The show closed in 2017.
In early 2018, Annamarie was mentioned in another one of John's stand-up routines
In his 2018 Netflix special "Kid Gorgeous at Radio City," John made many references to his wife and her fiery personality.
"I said, 'Do you mind if I still make fun of you on stage?' And my wife said, 'Yeah, you can make fun of me. But just don't say that I'm a b---- and that you don't like me,'" John recalled. "I was like, 'The bar is so much lower than I ever imagined. That's it?' Also, I wouldn't say that. What kind of show would that be?"
He went on to jokingly clarify, "My wife is a b---- and I like her so much. She is a dynamite, 5-foot, Jewish b----, and she's the best."
In October 2018, John and Annamarie dressed up as Romeo and Juliet for Halloween
