Kristin Chenoweth recently opened up about her marriage to 42-year-old musician Josh Bryant during an interview on The View, emphasizing that “age is just a number.” Chenoweth, 55, reflected on her relationship with Bryant and the journey that led to their recent marriage, highlighting the unique qualities that brought them together.
As reported by Daily Mail, Chenoweth and Bryant first crossed paths in 2016 at her niece’s wedding, where Bryant was performing with his band, Backroad Anthem. Chenoweth remembers being instantly intrigued by the younger musician, thinking, “Who’s that? He’s so cute!” she recalled with a smile. Their initial spark led to a connection that grew deeper over time.
What really won Chenoweth over was Bryant’s “old-fashioned” charm. “He asked if he could ‘court’ me,” Chenoweth laughed, joking that she thought his request was something out of “1935.” This gentlemanly approach won her heart, and the two officially started dating in 2018. After three years of romance, Bryant proposed in 2021 with a memorable rooftop proposal at New York’s Rainbow Room, creating an unforgettable moment for the couple.
Chenoweth and Bryant tied the knot in a private ceremony held in Dallas, attended by close friends and celebrity guests, including David Foster, Katharine McPhee, and Kenny Ortega. The Wicked star chose a non-traditional gown for her big day, wearing a custom nude-and-pink dress by designer Pamela Rolland, a choice that reflected her bold and unique style.
Reflecting on the relationship, Chenoweth, who once thought of herself as a lifelong bachelorette, shared how meeting Bryant changed her perspective. “I never thought I’d get married, but after meeting Josh, I realized I couldn’t let him go,” she said, acknowledging how love had surprised her later in life. Known for her bubbly personality, Chenoweth made it clear that although she embraced some traditional elements in her wedding, she drew the line at “obey” in her vows. “But I’m not saying ‘obey!’” she clarified with a laugh.
Their wedding was a celebration of love, friendship, and the surprising paths life can take. Now, happily married, Chenoweth is enjoying her new chapter with Bryant, proving that love can come at any stage and that age differences are irrelevant when two people truly connect.
