In Despicable Me 2, what is the name of Gru’s new romantic partner?

The story behind the answer

In Despicable Me 2, Gru’s new romantic partner is Lucy Wilde.

Lucy Wilde is an agent of the Anti-Villain League who recruits Gru to help investigate a new criminal threat. She initially approaches him as a professional partner, but their relationship develops through the mission. By the end of the film, Lucy and Gru marry.

Lucy is voiced by Kristen Wiig. Her role adds a new dimension to Gru’s character because he must balance domestic responsibilities, his relationship with the girls, and the demands of working for an organization that fights villains. The story also includes the Minions being captured and transformed by a mutagen.

Lucy is sometimes confused with Scarlet Overkill, another major female character from the franchise. Scarlet is the villain of the 2015 Minions film, while Lucy is an Anti-Villain League agent introduced in Despicable Me 2. Margo, Edith, and Agnes are Gru’s daughters, not his romantic partner.
