Janeane Garofalo And Gay/Lesbian Rumors:

Janeane Garofalo has faced many gay/lesbian rumors till date.

Although she has had to deal with such fake rumors, surprisingly, she is very humble to take it on a positive note. As per reports, Garofalo expressed that she instead takes it as a compliment and that it's not an insult,

Janeane Garofalo and Rob Cohen: A Marriage No One Was Aware Of:

Around two decades ago, Garofalo was romantically linked with her then-boyfriend Rob Cohen, who is a comedy writer and director. After dating for one year, they were in Las Vegas enjoying each other's company, and after several drinks, they got married 'as a joke' at a drive-through chapel in a cab. Little did they know, their marriage was all legal and real!

However, the amusing thing is neither Garofalo nor Rob were aware of the fact that they were legally a husband and wife until they met each other again at the reunion party of the 'The Ben Stiller Show' in November 2012.

During the event, they both found out about their two-decade-long joke. Garofalo shared her thoughts on the funny incident, 

“Rob and I got married, for real, which we had to have a notary dissolve not 30 minutes before we got here tonight. We were married for 20 years until this evening.”

She further added,

''We got married drunk in Vegas... We dated for a year, and we got married at a drive-through chapel in a cab. [We thought] you have to go down to the courthouse and sign papers and stuff, so who knew?."

 But, they got a divorced, as Rob wanted to get married to his fiance, Jill Leiderman. Garofalo shared, 

"We were married, and apparently now that [Rob] is getting married for real, his lawyer dug up something.”

Garofalo tied the knot with her husband, Brody Tate in the year 2015. 

Garofalo's Plastic Surgery Speculation:

She had plumped lips and a puffy face, which led the media to assume she had gone under the knife.

Although Janeane is yet to confirm this particular assumption, it is known that she underwent a breast reduction surgery, back in 1984.
