Nikki Glaser and Judd Apatow aren't just funny.
In fact, when the Knocked Up director joked that the comedian used to babysit his and Leslie Mann's children, Maude Apatow, 28, and Iris Apatow, 23, while presenting at the 2026 Golden Globes, Nikki confirmed their relationship.
"You know, Nikki Glaser used to be our babysitter," Judd declared at the Jan. 11 awards ceremony. "That's true; she was our babysitter, and she was like, 'I do stand-up comedy.'"
To which the I Feel Pretty star confirmed his statement with a screenshot posted to her Instagram Stories on January 12, writing, "100% true. "Summer 2007.
Nikki has previously discussed her experiences with Iris and Maude, stating that working as a nanny was not her ideal job.
"I babysat for Judd Apatow when I lived in LA," she told Vulture in a January 2011 interview. "It was a great gig, but it pained me to be around such greatness and only be known as a nanny."
She added, "I will never love your child as much as you do. "It is impossible."
And the comedian couldn't stop praising Maude, Iris, and their family, revealing how observing their family inspired her own career path.
"The kids were super-funny," she told The Washington Post in the same month. "It made me wish I grew up in a comedy household."
But that isn’t the end of their friendship, as Nikki is set to work with Judd once again. In October, The Hollywood Reporter reported that she will star, co-write, and produce an “edgy” romantic comedy with Judd for Universal Pictures.
Until then, Nikki put her comedy chops on display as she returned as the host of the Golden Globes for the second consecutive year. Shortly after her gig, she celebrated with an Instagram post, writing, "The best job with the best people."
