Anne Stringfield is an American writer, best known for her work with The New Yorker and for being the wife of actor and comedian Steve Martin. She was born in 1972 in Pensacola, Florida. Her father, Dr. James Stringfield, is a pulmonologist, and her mother, Margo Stringfield, is an archaeologist affiliated with the University of West Florida.
Anne attended Pensacola High School before enrolling at Davidson College, a liberal arts institution in North Carolina, where she earned her degree. From a young age, she was drawn to literature and writing, interests that later shaped her professional career.
Stringfield began her career as a writer and editor, working for The New Yorker, where she often edited articles and contributed to the publication. She also wrote occasional art reviews for magazines such as Vogue, showcasing her background in and passion for the arts. Her affinity for visual art eventually became a notable point of connection in her personal life.
Anne Stringfield met Steve Martin through her work, likely during her time at The New Yorker, where Martin occasionally contributed pieces. The two bonded over their shared love of art—Steve Martin is an avid art collector, which proved to be a strong mutual interest.
The couple married on July 28, 2007, during a private ceremony held at Martin’s Los Angeles home. It was Anne's first marriage and Steve’s second. Lorne Michaels, creator of Saturday Night Live and a longtime friend of Martin, served as the best man, while Anne’s sister acted as the bridesmaid. Although it was an intimate event with just seventy-five guests, notable figures such as Tom Hanks and Carl Reiner were in attendance.
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.
