Who Is Jenny Slate's Ex-Husband? New Details on Dean Fleischer-Camp

Jenny Slate's Netflix comedy special Jenny Slate: Stage Fright is streaming now. It's an interesting comedy special in that, at times, it comes across like a documentary. In fact, it's really part-stand-up/part documentary. Slate gets very, very personal in her standup routine. She delves into stories about her family — especially her grandmother and parents. She also explores her own relationship issues and struggles with anxiety and terrible dates (we've all been there). One of the most emotionally loaded subjects she deals with his her divorce from Dean Fleischer-Camp and the shame she felt around moving back in with her parents when her marriage was over. Slate gets very vulnerable about her feelings about her divorce. However, she never mentions her ex by name in the Netflix special — which made us wonder: Who is Jenny Slate's ex-husband?
