Lee said on a recent podcast: "We talked the other day with Roisin Conaty. Her sister met Tara and said 'I assume you two have been together after you became a comedian and a bit of money.'
"And I said 'no, no, we met before I ever was a comedian when we were at university.' And she looked aghast at why this woman would be with me.
"And do you know what she said? 'Did you save her life or something?'
"I thought that's an incredibly bold statement to make after five minutes of meeting someone."
Lee and Tara got married in 2005 and have three children Arlie, Louie and Millie. Lee first rose to fame by winning So You Think You're Funny at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in1995.
