Dance Moms Star Brooke Hyland Marries in a Reunion of Reality TV Royalty

Former *Dance Moms* star Brooke Hyland has married her longtime boyfriend, Brian Thalman. The wedding, which took place on Saturday, February 21st, was attended by several of Hyland's former costars, marking a reunion for the reality TV personalities.

Photos shared on social media by Kendall Vertes and Melissa Gisoni offered glimpses into the celebration. Vertes posted images featuring Kenzie Ziegler, Chloe Lukasiak, and Kalani Hilliker, as well as a group photo with drinks in hand. Gisoni shared a snapshot of herself with Jill Vertes, Christi Lukasiak, and Kelly Hyland, the mother of the bride, on the dance floor.

The couple's relationship began in 2021 when Hyland, who starred on the TLC reality series from 2011 to 2014, was visiting her hometown. They were introduced by a mutual friend. After a period of long-distance dating, Hyland moved back to Pittsburgh. The couple shares a love for travel, dining out, and outdoor activities.

Thalman proposed to Hyland in May 2024 with a 3.25-carat diamond ring. They celebrated with an intimate brunch with family. In August 2024, they hosted an engagement party with a "Tini Found Her Thalman" theme. Leading up to the wedding, Hyland celebrated with a bachelorette party in early September 2025, and a bridal shower earlier this year.

BNN's Perspective: It's heartwarming to see the *Dance Moms* cast supporting each other through life's milestones. While the show may have ended years ago, the bonds formed seem to have endured, creating a sense of community that resonates with fans.
