Who Is Eric Stonestreet’s Fiancée, Lindsay Schweitzer?
Lindsay Schweitzer is more than just a partner to Eric; she’s a dedicated pediatric nurse who has been a source of strength and support in his life. Their love story began at the Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City in 2016, where fate brought them together. By 2017, the couple had confirmed they were dating, and Eric was already raving about her during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Your girlfriend is lovely — I met her backstage," Ellen DeGeneres playfully mentioned during the show. "She’s a nurse. That’s a good thing for you because you’re a hypochondriac." Eric chuckled and admitted, "I’m a big baby, too. She calms me — she calms my nerves. I’m a very high-strung person, and Lindsay has been a rock for me."
Eric’s relationship with Lindsay is a testament to how love can bring balance and understanding into our lives. Their connection isn’t just about romance; it’s about finding someone who truly gets you, flaws and all.

When Did Eric Stonestreet and Lindsay Schweitzer Get Engaged?
On August 22, 2021, Eric took to Instagram to announce that he had popped the question to Lindsay after five years of dating. The couple celebrated their engagement with a heartwarming post where Eric humorously captioned the photos: "She said, 'She’d have her people call my people.'" This lighthearted moment perfectly captured the couple’s playful relationship.
But Eric wasn’t done yet. Just three days later, he addressed some online trolls in another Instagram caption. Known for his wit and humor, Eric decided to tackle the situation with a creative twist. He applied filters to their engagement photos to make Lindsay appear older, turning the comments into an opportunity for laughter. "Apparently, a lot of people think I look too old, as a 49-year-old man, to be engaged to my almost 42-year-old fiancée," he joked. "Look, she can’t help that she looks so great at 42 and I can’t help that I apparently look like her grandad so, I fixed it for everyone."
Eric’s response was a masterclass in turning negativity into positivity, proving that a sense of humor can go a long way in navigating life’s challenges. When asked about wedding plans during a March 2022 appearance on Today, Eric shared that he and Lindsay weren’t rushing the process. "It took me 50 years to get to the question," he said with a smile. "There’s no way I would’ve ever gotten to the place to commit my life to someone if it was with someone pressuring me into doing anything, so we are in the same place, the same pace of what we want to do." Their approach to marriage reflects a deep respect for each other’s individuality and a shared vision for the future.
