O'Brien met Elizabeth Ann 'Liza' Powel in 2000, when she appeared on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" in an advertising skit involving Foote, Cone & Belding, where she worked as senior copywriter. The couple dated for nearly 18 months before their 2002 marriage in Powel's hometown of Seattle. O'Brien and Powel have a daughter, Neve (born 2003) and a son, Beckett (born 2005). O'Brien often affirms his Irish Catholic heritage on his show. On a 2009 episode of "Inside the Actors Studio", he stated that ancestors from both sides of his family moved to America from Ireland starting in the 1850s, subsequently marrying only other Irish Catholics, and that his lineage is thus 100% Irish Catholic.
