Tendler now lives in rural Connecticut in the house she purchased with Mulaney in 2020 before their separation.
She said:
I do miss my friends, and I am aware that I’m maybe a little too young to be living in the middle of the woods by myself. [But] I was able to create the space that, even as a child, I always wanted to live in.

Anna Marie Tendler wrote:
“I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my a– at a Golden Globes party in 2014. He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into my crack. I guess he tried to play it like he was politely moving me out of the way and oops touched my butt instead of my lower back? Like most women in these situations, I didn’t say anything but I have thought a lot about what I’d say if I ever saw him again.”
