Early years[edit]
Kinsey was born in Lafayette, Louisiana. When she was two years old, her family moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, where her father worked as a drilling engineer. They lived there for 13 years, and she attended the Jakarta Intercultural School. During this time, she learned Indonesian, a language she still occasionally speaks. Her family returned to the United States and settled in Archer City, Texas when she was 14.[2][3]
Kinsey studied English at Baylor University, where she became a member of the Chi Omega sorority, "took as many theatre classes as possible", and participated in the "Baylor in London" program.[4]
After graduating from Baylor in 1993,[4] Kinsey served as an intern on the NBC talk show Late Night with Conan O'Brien, which she described as an "awesome" experience.[5] She worked for the show's band leader, drummer Max Weinberg. The experience inspired Kinsey to take a coast-to-coast road trip with a friend from New York City to California.[6]
Personal life[edit]
On June 18, 2000, she married writer and producer Warren Lieberstein.[21] He is the brother of Paul Lieberstein, who played Toby Flenderson on The Office. She gave birth to their daughter in May 2008.[22] On February 18, 2009, Kinsey and her husband separated. Her representative stated that the two continue to be friends.[23] In June 2010, it was announced that Kinsey had filed for divorce,[24] citing "irreconcilable differences."[25]
On August 4, 2016, Kinsey announced her engagement to her long-term boyfriend, actor and baker Joshua Snyder.[26][27] She is the step-mother to his two sons. On November 13, 2016, Kinsey married Snyder.[28] Together, they have a YouTube channel and website called Baking with Josh & Ange.[29]
Kinsey is Presbyterian.[30] She has said her grandmother does not watch The Office because she feels the protagonist Michael Scott is too "vulgar". Kinsey said, "She'll say to me, 'Baby, we're so proud of you, I'm proud of you, but I do not care for the show and I do not watch it.'"[6]
Kinsey supports Alley Cat Allies,[31] a nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to cats.
