Comedian Amanda Lehan-Canto of Smosh and The Groundlings and UCB fame is officially taking on a new title: a mother. But fans have just one question buzzing across the internet: who is Amanda Lehan-Canto married to?
The answer? Amanda is married to her long-time partner, Hardzei “HP” Perapechka, a Belarus native. The couple wed on May 4, 2023, after being together for almost 7 years.
From comedy skits to couple goals
Amanda and Hardzei's romance started back in 2016. Amanda captioned a carefree Instagram post from 2019 with, “I met my future husband on the side of the road and gave him a sick hat.” The two clicked immediately, and what started with a hat turned into a lifelong partnership.
