Brandon Sklenar is Hollywood's newest leading man. Following his acclaimed performances in It Ends with Us and 1923, the actor, who hails from New Jersey, is in high demand.
In spite of his meteoric rise to fame, however, Brandon, 34, doesn't ascribe to the world of celebrity, preferring to keep a low profile with his loved ones in California. Keep reading for all the details…
Brandon Sklenar's life in California
When he's not working, Brandon can be found in the Santa Barbara residence that he shares with his long-term partner, Courtney Salviolo, and their 13-year-old mini Aussie, Remy.

"I grew up in northern New Jersey, and pretty much until I was 13-14 wanted to become an actor," he explained to Forbes last year.

I mean, I just left - I didn't tell anybody. I just left, packed up the car in the middle of the night and drove out to California two months after I graduated high school and never looked back."
The actor lives with his girlfriend Courtney Salviolo
While very little is known about Brandon's choice of property, it's widely known that he now lives with his girlfriend of five years, Courtney Salviolo. A personal trainer and wellness coach, the actor first crossed paths with his 34-year-old girlfriend in 2020.

Following their decision to move in together, the couple has continued to thrive, with Brandon missing his partner and the life they've created together, whenever he travels for work. Speaking about his filming schedule for 1923, he told Forbes: "I'm a homebody - I love to be home with my partner and my dog and my house. The irony is that I have a job that takes me everywhere, which I love, too. It's a weird dichotomy."
