Brianne Howey has captivated viewers with her on-screen presence as the lead role in Netflix's hit series Ginny & Georgia.
But off-screen she lives a wonderfully grounded life, sharing it with her equally charming husband and their young daughter.
The talented actress is happily married to Matt Ziering, a man who, while not in the entertainment industry himself, is a star in the eyes of his famous wife.

How they met?

"We ran into each other three nights in a row at a couple bars in L.A.," Brianna recalled to Los Angeles magazine, and Matt admitted it "wasn't totally random," as they mixed in the same circle of friends.
Wedding postponed

They got engaged and scheduled their wedding for 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were forced to postpone their nuptials... but not for long. In July 2021 they married in a beautiful, intimate ceremony. Their wedding was held in a private residence in Palos Verdes, California.
"It was the most beautiful feeling to be surrounded by so many people we love," Brianne told People. "The night was more magical than I could ever have imagined."
The reception was catered for by a local restaurant and she added: "I wish all of my nights could end with a Son of a Gun fried chicken sandwich and a Spice Girls dance party."
Starting a family

"We canceled our wedding," Brianne said. "We couldn't get married in 2020 but we did get a dog."

Being a mom
Before motherhood, Brianne said she thought her character in the show was OTT but since becoming mom, she confessed to People: "Prior to having a child, of course, I thought many of the Georgia-isms were absolutely insane and unhinged and over the top, and why is she taking up so much space?.
"Now that I have a child, I am so obsessed with her that I understand why Georgia is so obsessed with Ginny, and my heart only got bigger and I just have even more respect for all the moms out there."
