“I’ve been the runaway bride,” Chenoweth jokes. “Now that I’ve found him, I won’t let him go. I will race to greet him at the altar.”
Bryant adds, “My best friend and soulmate said ‘YES’ to me! Kristin is my world, my everything, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her!”

Chenoweth and Bryant, who have been linked since August 2018, first met at the wedding of Chenoweth’s niece in 2016, where Bryant’s band Backroad Anthem was performing. When the band was hired to play at Chenoweth’s nephew’s wedding in 2018, the soon-to-be couple met once again and started dating in August of that year, perVogue.
TheWickedstar and her musician boyfriend only grew closer in 2020 while quarantining together in New York City at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, spending time bonding and creating TikTok videos.
“We managed to stay creative and still have a good time,” Chenoweth previouslytold PEOPLE. “My boyfriend is 14 years younger than me. Thus, I’m good at TikTok. I didn’t know what TikTok was, I didn’t necessarily want to do TikTok. Now I love TikTok with his help.”
She later added, “He took a couple of walks on his own, as did I, because you just can’t be with someone 24/7. That’s the truth. And yet we managed to make it work somehow.”
