Meet Simon Tikhman, husband of Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster: they met at a gym and Kate Hudson was at their wedding – but why did the music producer initially disapprove of the Netflix hit?
Tikhman was initially wary of Foster airing her personal life on her podcast – and of the fact that she wasn’t Jewish; but she converted to Judaism, they married a year after meeting, and now share a daughter
Netflix series Nobody Wants This is one of the streaming platform’s current blockbusters, spending weeks in its Top 10 TV charts. The viral show, which stars The Good Place’s Kristen Bell and The O.C.’s Adam Brody, is on everyone’s lips at the moment – but did you know that it’s based on a real-life couple?
In Nobody Wants This, Joanne is an agnostic podcast host and Noah is … well, a hot rabbi. The show follows the two characters as they navigate dating, family and religion – and ultimately fall in love. It’s a idyllic yet surprisingly charming look at navigating the ins and outs of relationships – and, clearly, one that could easily happen in real life.

Bell’s character, Joanne, is a little more authentic to Foster’s real life persona. On the show, Joanne hosts a podcast with her sister, Morgan; in real life, Foster has a podcast called The World’s First Podcast, which she hosts with her sister, Sara.
