Brendan Hunt, co-creator and star of the hit series *Ted Lasso*, has married Shannon Nelson in a recent ceremony. Hunt announced the marriage on Instagram, sharing photos from the event, including one featuring fellow *Ted Lasso* star Jason Sudeikis, who officiated the ceremony.

The wedding took place in Ireland a few weeks ago. Hunt, 53, wore an emerald velvet tuxedo, while Nelson wore an off-the-shoulder floral gown and floral headband. Hunt described the event as "lovely" and noted that their sons were present.

The couple announced their engagement in June 2023, shortly after the season 3 finale of *Ted Lasso* aired. Nelson shared that they had prioritized building their family before getting married.

Their second son, Archibald, nicknamed Archie, was born on March 1, 2024.
