The 36-year-old first met her fellow Saturday Night Live castmate Petsos at the age of 15.
"I like him a lot. He's so terrific," the comedian said of her partner at a screening of her new movie McGruber.
The couple wrote the film's screenplay together, which also features SNL contributor Will Forte.
Wiig added that it is Petsos's take on fame that keeps her grounded in reality.
"I still don't feel famous," she said. "But when I was just starting out in the business, I'd worry about what I said or what people thought. He's helping me a lot with that. His take is, 'Who cares?'"
