In her personal life, Lyonne began a relationship with former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Fred Armisen in August 2014. However, after eight years together, the couple decided to part ways, a split Lyonne confirmed in April 2022.
Lyonne has been candid about her battles with addiction throughout her career. In January 2026, she openly discussed a relapse, but by April the same year, she shared with her fans that she was “back on her feet.” The actress found herself in the headlines again in April 2026 when she was reportedly removed from a flight for not adhering to the flight attendants’ directions.
Following the incident, Lyonne took to social media platform X to explain her side of the story. “I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut-eye on the Delta One red-eye flight to NYC,” she wrote. She described boarding the plane with minimal luggage, looking forward to a restful nap before heading to a scheduled appearance with Drew Barrymore. “I was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in-depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess,” Lyonne commented on the unexpected turn of events.
“I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red eye flight to NYC,” Lyonne wrote via X after the incident. “Boarded seamlessly with just a backpack and sneakers, eager for a nap. Plan was to be bushy tailed & beauty rested, as I was meant to head straight to glam for a slot with our beloved @DrewBarrymore, upon landing. Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess.”
