Two months later, Snook subtly shared on Instagram that she and Lawson hadwelcomed their first childtogether.
Lawson and Snook first met in 2014, however, their relationship remained platonic for years as they were never “single at the same time.” TheSuccessionstar and the comedian turned their friendship into a romance during lockdown when theyquarantined together in early 2020.
“At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love,” Snook toldVogueAustralia.
Shortly after they took their relationship to the next level, Snook decided to pop the question. On Halloween day in 2020, Snook suggested the pair get married — and just a few months later, they wed in her backyard in Brooklyn, New York. Their marriage remained a secret for nearly eight months, and while they eventually shared the happy news, they’ve kept the rest of their relationship private.
So, who is Sarah Snook’s husband? Here’s everything to know about Dave Lawson.
He was born and raised in Australia

Like his wife, Lawson is an Australian native. He grew up in Melbourne, Victoria, and attended Haileybury College as a teenager before going on to study advertising and marketing at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, according to hisLinkedIn profile. While his parents wanted him to pursue a more traditional career path, he said they always supported his goals.
“I said to dad, ‘I want to really, really want to try acting,’ And he said, ‘Well, alright, you should give it a go then for a bit but give yourself a cut off time,’ " Lawson shared on theFunny in Failurepodcast. “But he was supportive as well because he said, ‘You know 99% of actors are out of work but that also means that 1% are in work.’ That was great.”

“I never set out to be a kid show host. That was never on the cards. But then, you know, you get through one audition, then you get to another and then you start getting excited and go, ‘I actually really want to do this now,’ " Lawson shared on the podcast, later calling working with the network “the best job.”
He has a son from a previous relationship
As he revealed during theFunny in Failurepodcast, Lawson has a son from a previous relationship. While he hasn’t shared much information about his son, he said becoming a dad was the best thing to happen to him.
“I can’t have regrets because I wouldn’t have [my son]. It’s that problem, if you go back in time and change one thing. A lot of it comes back to being a dad. If I change one thing … I wouldn’t want to risk undoing that,” Lawson explained.
He and Snook have known each other since 2014
Snook and Lawson first met back in 2014 and quickly became friends. In 2018, Snook even made a guest appearance on Lawson’s online talk show,Dave’s Shed Show.
“We’ve been friends since 2014, lived together, traveled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic,” Snook shared withVogueAustralia.
He and Snook fell in love while quarantining together
When the pandemic hit in early 2020, Snook and Lawson found themselves quarantining together. The duo had previously “never been single at the same time,” and as time passed while hunkered down at home, Snook said they “fell in love.”
Another contributor to their friendship turning romantic was the short romantic comedy they worked on together,Pause, which Snook both starred in and directed. The actress told the outlet it marked a turning point in their relationship where she began to see Lawson in a new light.
“That’s when I was like: ‘Oh, that’s interesting,’ " Snook said.
