Before her marriage to “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail, when she was 20-years-old, Emmy secretly married her music producer boyfriend Justin Siegel in February 2008. He filed for divorce in September 2009.

Emmy shared how she talked about the downsides of marriage — particularly not being able to be with a different person ever again.

The actress was shocked when her friends asked her “why not?” which she jokingly said prompted her to move back to New York.
