Bill Nye Is Married! The Science Guy Star Weds Journalist Liza Mundy

Washington, D.C., native and beloved 'Science Guy' Bill Nye has said 'I do' to former Washington Post journalist Liza Mundy, PEOPLE can exclusively share

Bill Nye has found the woman he'll have chemistry with for the rest of his life!

PEOPLE can exclusively share that the beloved Science Guy married journalist and author Liza Mundy late last month at the Castle Building's Haupt Garden at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

Naturally, the couple's connection was forged over their shared love of learning and storytelling.

Mundy, a former Washington Post reporter and New York Times best-selling author, mentioned Nye's cryptanalyst mother Jacqueline Jenkins-Nye in her book Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II.

When Nye got word of the book, he wrote an email to Mundy, and the rest, as they say, is history.

On the couple's special day, Star Trek star Robert Picardo (who played The Doctor across the franchise) served as officiant.

Every criticism I've heard of Bill Nye is because he DARED to suggest that Gender exists on a spectrum.

Another tale of never meeting your heroes I guess
Yeah. And I know my examples are purely anecdotal, but each of the people I know were just so utterly disappointed. And who knows, maybe he is a lovely person in other situations/times, but what I've heard has really changed my perspective quite a bit on him. Best of luck and best wishes to the married couple though.

Back in the day before he got a TV show with Disney, Bill Nye was on the local Saturday night Seattle sketch comedy show "Almost Live." It aired at 11:35pm here before SNL came on at midnight. They once held a contest to go on a date with him.
