Who is Lance Reddick’s wife, Stephanie Reddick?

So, who is Lance Reddick’s wife, Stephanie Reddick? According to Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, the couple met in 1999. Stephanie was an employee at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when Lance was at the theater starring in a play. Twelve years after initially meeting, the couple married in Minnesota in 2011, as that’s Stephanie’s home state.

“We did everything at Bar Lurcat in Minneapolis, from the ceremony to the reception,” Stephanie shared with the magazine. “We had people coming in from out of town, and I didn’t want to make them go from one place to another. And Bar Lurcat is so stunning. We actually changed the date of the wedding just so we could have it there.”

Stephanie shared info about her wedding dress, too. “I found it online for $250, including shipping,” Stephanie said. “Lance picked it up at the post office, and it fit perfectly. My favorite moment of the wedding day was when my mom saw me in my dress and she started crying.”

How many kids does the couple have?
