Fred Armisen is boning Abby Elliot post-split from Elizabeth Moss

Several days ago Elizabeth Moss and Fred Armisen announced their split after ten months of marriage. Some of us threw out some theories for the reasons behind the breakup – everything including affairs (for either of them) to Moss being a Friend of Xenu. Now we might have a more solid theory – Life & Style is reporting that Fred has begun dating his Saturday Night Live colleague Abby Elliot in the wake of his split from Moss. Just to clarify, in the initial report of Fred and Elizabeth’s split, they claimed that they had been over since the spring, so Fred has been “single” for several months now. Still, was there some overlap between his marriage and this new relationship?

Life & Style can exclusively report that Saturday Night Live co-stars stars Fred Armisen and Abby Elliott are dating.

As revealed by Life & Style last week, Fred split from Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss in May after 10 months of marriage. It was an amicable separation.

“They’ve known each other for a few years from being on SNL together but after the split, Fred sought comfort in Abby. They just started dating a few months ago. Fred and Abby are getting to know each other in a romantic way and taking things slowly. But they’re enjoying each other’s company. It’s early days,” says a source close to the couple.

A friend of Elisabeth’s tells Life & Style, “Elisabeth is doing great and focused on Mad Men and is enjoying the single life. This news won’t even phase her.”

Fred, 43, has been with SNL since 2002 while 23-year-old Abby joined in 2008.

He is currently filming his new series Portlandia in Portland, Ore.

Um… how could this news not “phase” Moss? I mean, I get it, she’s on the show every young actress would kill to be on, and that makes her pretty awesome, career-wise. But how could it not hurt that your estranged husband is already shaking up with a young colleague two seconds after (or perhaps DURING) the split? Oh, well. Moss is a cool girl, Xenu or no Xenu, and I hope she bounces back and starts dating someone really cool. Who is a good Scientologist for her… Jason Lee? Eh. Giovanni Ribisi? That might be interesting.
