Is Kacey Musgraves Friends With John Mulaney's Ex-Wife?

Fans suspect Anna Marie Tendler and Kacey Musgraves might be in a divorcée broken hearts club after a wholesome interaction between the two on Instagram. When Musgraves took to social media to talk about the nearly-impossible task of putting on a duvet cover, Tendler sweetly responded with a duvet cover tutorial dedicated to Musgraves on her Instagram Story (via Reddit).

Needless to say, this public exchange got the internet buzzing — could the two women be bonding behind the scenes over their respective divorces? In May 2021, Tendler and comedian John Mulaney confirmed their divorce after six years of marriage, per Page Six. The previous year, Musgraves split from ex Ruston Kelly. At the time, the singer "cited irreconcilable differences as grounds for the divorce," according to US Weekly.

So, Musgraves and Tendler are both processing breakups of their own, but is there anything else that connects these two to each other? Well, it turns out that their similarities may run deeper than just their broken hearts.

In a shocking announcement in September 2021, John Mulaney revealed that in addition to being in a new relationship with Olivia Munn just months after his divorce news broke, Munn was also pregnant with his child. Per Page Six, Munn and Mulaney first met when he and then-fiancée Anna Marie Tendler were attending fellow comedian Seth Meyers' wedding in 2013. Fast forward to May 2021, and news broke that Munn and Mulaney were dating. What followed was a whirlwind relationship, Munn's pregnancy, and breakup rumors.

Before Tendler and Mulaney's split, Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly went through a public separation in July 2020. And like Tendler, Musgraves' ex was spotted with Munn post-split. In December 2020, Munn posted a series of Instagram Stories that showed her, Kelly, and a friend "spending time at a woodsy location," per the Daily Mail. According to the outlet, "While Munn and Kelly's dynamic seemed to err on the side of friendly flirting, some Ruston fans speculated there was more going on via Reddit."

Additionally, some fans think that Musgraves and Tendler might be talking smack about Munn. One TikTok user noted, "I would bet, like, a million dollars that [Musgraves and Tendler] are definitely interacting privately, and I know they're talking s*** about Olivia Munn."

Speculation aside, Musgraves and Tendler have more in common than the fact that Munn interacted with their exes.

Post-split from John Mulaney, Anna Marie Tendler has been busy making a name for herself through her photography and other works of art. In September 2021, she was featured at the Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, Calif., per Page Six. As noted on her website, the photographs from her "Rooms in the First House" series "chronicle the often non-linear experiences of loss, anger, and powerlessness, as well as a reclamation of identity." Per Page Six, the series "seems to reveal her state of mind after [Tendler and Mulaney's] split."

In September 2021, Musgraves released her highly-anticipated fifth album, "Star-Crossed," and The New York Times dubbed it "The Kacey Musgraves Divorce Hour." On the album, Musgraves seemingly sings about the deterioration of her marriage, with The New York Times, noting that it's "Musgraves's divorce album, a song cycle about how a relationship deteriorates: not all at once, or in huge shards, but decrementally."

So, if the two are communicating in private, should we be expecting a Musgraves X Tendler collaborative art piece? Maybe not, but fans are seemingly comforted by the prospect that these ladies may have found solace in each other following heartbreak.
