During an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Morgan said that he and Rudd "have known each other for a while." He also explained how the two actors came to be co-owners of Samuel's Sweet Shop in Rhinebeck, NY.
Morgan said that both had properties near each other in upstate New York and knew the store owner, Ira Gutner. After Gutner died in 2014, the friends chipped in as co-owners to preserve the candy shop.
In addition, Morgan and Rudd costarred in the 2014 movie "They Came Together." They've been spotted hanging out a few times since then. Morgan and Burton, who he dated for 10 years before marrying in 2019, supported Rudd at his "Ant-Man" premiere in Los Angeles in 2015.
Morgan and Burton also attended the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend Benefiting Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City in June 2016 with Rudd.
In 2020, the Rudd and Yaeger Rudd, who's the manager of Samuel's Sweet Shop, appeared as guests on Morgan and Burton's online talk show called "Friday Night In With the Morgans."
