How They Met
Brian Thalman previously shared that the couple first crossed paths in Pittsburgh in December 2021.
At the time, Brooke was living in Austin, Texas, and visiting home for the holidays when they were introduced through her cousin, one of his close friends.
After getting to know each other, they navigated a short period of long-distance before Brooke eventually moved back to Pittsburgh.
Their relationship grew through shared interests, from traveling together to exploring new restaurants and staying active outdoors.
They also added a four-legged member to their family, a dog named Jack.
Brooke first became known to fans during her run on “Dance Moms” from 2011 to 2014, when she appeared alongside her sister Paige and mom Kelly.
Over the years, she has largely stepped away from the spotlight, making this happy milestone especially meaningful for longtime viewers who watched her grow up on screen.
From cast reunions to heartfelt family moments, Brooke Hyland’s wedding weekend was filled with love—and for fans, it was a reminder of just how far the Dance Moms kids have come since their reality TV beginnings.
