Romantic comedies are back with a bang, and Netflix's new hit show Nobody Wants This exemplifies this as it has reminded everyone of just how much Adam Brody is a heartthrob.

The 42-year-old show creator is also the brain behind TV mockumentary Barely Famous, and has previously acted in a number of shows from Gilmore Girls to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She is also co-creative head of Bumble with her sister Sara.
But outside her work, Erin has a noteworthy personal life, from her famous family to the jaw-dropping story of how her own love life inspired her hit show.
Here's all you need to know about Erin's home life.
Famous family

While David may have traveled often when she was growing up, he wasn't afraid to show fatherly discipline, as he made her write a report after catching her smoke a cigarette, which she had to give to her teachers.

Erin described her issues with the relationship: "We have this fake, spoiled lifestyle, but we're not even really allowed to be a part of it."

And I think when you're 15, you don't have the maturity to understand that them having a spoiled lifestyle is not going to serve them well. You're just like, 'Why do they have all these things that I don't have and my dad's the one giving it to them?'"
Erin is close with her sister Sara, who acted in 90210 as Jen Clark, and had guest appearances in Entourage, Crossing Jordan and CSI. Together, they share a joint podcast, The World's First Podcast.
Adorable love story
© Charley GallayNobody Wants This was inspired by Erin's own love story with Jewish music executive Simon Tikhman, for whom she converted to Judaism in order to marry.
Her husband spoke about Erin's decision on The World's First Podcast: "For someone to do that for you ... [it] is the biggest thing you could ever do. I'll always be grateful for Erin."
Erin added: "Simon and Judaism, they both represented family to me."
"It wasn't something I did because Simon [wanted] me to do it, it's something I did because it really felt like the right way to start a life together."
Together, the couple share a daughter, Noa Mimi Tikhman, born in May 2024.
