All About Mikey Day and Paula Christensen's Family
In August 2012, Mikey Day and his partner Paula Christensen welcomed their first child together, a son named Abbott—and he may be following in his famous dad's footsteps. Over the last few years, Abbott has appeared in two SNL sketches alongside Day. The first occurred in 2019, when Abbott was featured in the "Children's Clothing Ad" sketch. The comedian praised his son's acting chops on X, writing, "So proud of the boy!"
Abbott's second SNL appearance happened in 2020, when cast members had to film their skits at home due to the pandemic. The father-son duo were featured in "Dad Prank Video," which follows a child pranking his dad around their house.
Day opened up about fatherhood in a 2023 conversation with SheKnows, saying he "refuses to accept that he's getting older" now that Abbott is a tween. "He's doing things that I did as a kid and I'm like, 'Oh, man, we're the parents,'" he told the outlet. "And I remember being annoyed by my parents. And I'm like, 'Oh, we're that now. We're that.'"
He continued, "You always think like, 'No, we're cool, though. We're not going to be annoying.' We're like 'Yo what's up, man?!' But I say the same things my parents did. Like, 'After you eat can you put your dishes in the dishwasher? Please? It's not that hard.'"
