Their journey to the altar was anything but conventional. From a massive age difference to a pandemic-fueled engagement, the Kristin Chenoweth and Josh Bryant love story is filled with fascinating details.
1. They Met at Two Separate Weddings
Unlike many celebrity couples who meet on set or through mutual industry friends, Kristin and Josh met at a wedding—twice. The first time was in 2016 at the wedding of Chenoweth's niece. They became friends, but no sparks flew immediately. The second time was at another wedding in 2018, and that's when their relationship officially began to blossom.

4. Josh Proposed with a Custom Ring in October 2021
Josh Bryant proposed to Chenoweth on the rooftop of a New York City social club in October 2021.
