Despite their 26-year age difference, Anne and Steve Martin have maintained a strong and enduring relationship. In December 2012, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mary. At the time, Steve Martin was 67 years old. He humorously mentioned on The Late Show with David Letterman that they considered naming her “Conquistador,” though they ultimately chose a more traditional name.
Martin has often spoken fondly of his family, once referring to his wife as a “violet by a mossy stone”—a line borrowed from poet William Wordsworth—underscoring his admiration for her quiet strength and charm. The couple continues to lead a relatively private life, away from the constant glare of the media spotlight.
While Anne Stringfield is often recognized publicly as Steve Martin’s wife, she has carved out her own identity as a writer and editor. Her reserved nature and the couple’s low-profile lifestyle have only added to the quiet mystique surrounding her. Despite her limited public appearances, Anne remains a respected figure in literary and art circles.
