Does Chrissy Metz Have a Husband? Inside Her Relationship with Bradley Collins
Chrissy Metz has dated a few men in her industry. The actress was even married between the late 2000s and mid-2010s. She found love once more with music publisher Bradley Collins, and the pair were rumored to be engaged last year.
Although Chrissy Metz's relationships have been known to the public, she has guarded their privacy. Since shooting to fame as a Hollywood actress, her fans have become interested in her dating history. In 2008, she married a British journalist named Martyn Eaden; however, they divorced in 2015.
The couple cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation. Metz then dated music composer Hal Rosenfeld between 2016 and 2018. She was also romantically involved with Josh Stancil, but their relationship timeline remains unclear.
In 2020, Metz was on Bumble when she encountered her current boyfriend's profile. She was reluctant to initiate a conversation with him at first, but once they started talking, their chemistry was undeniable. They went Instagram official in late 2020 and have since regularly appeared on each other's pages.
Bradley Collins Is an Amazing Talent Scout, Organizational Point Person, and Problem Solver
Those were the praises Collins received from Broadcast Music, Inc. as the label's newly promoted senior Director in Writer/Publisher relations in 2012. It seems Collins mainly worked with songwriters and artists; he was described as having the ability to "amplify a songwriter's abilities" without losing sight of what made them special.
Having joined Broadcast Music Inc. in 2002, Collins was responsible for finding opportunities for writers and publishers, identifying new sources of revenue and exposure for emerging artists, and coordinating writer events. However, he also attained qualifications in a different field.
In June 2020, he graduated from Cornell University in the certificate program for Commercial Real Estate, officially becoming a Real Estate Agent. Collins celebrated his achievement on Instagram, thanking his former professors and classmates for an "excellent course" and "amazing experience."
Collins and Metz Met on a Dating App
On Metz's birthday two years ago, September 29, Collins went official with their relationship by sharing a sweet birthday tribute on Instagram. A few days later, Metz posted a National Boyfriends Day tribute for Collins, affectionately referring to him as her "dreamboat." Gushing about her beau, she wrote:
"Bradley, from the first moment I laid eyes on you I wanted and needed to know you. Now I feel so lucky to love you."
When Metz discovered his profile on Bumble, she saw on his picture that he had a "This Is Us" coffee mug, and immediately felt reluctant to speak with him; being one of the show's stars, she thought it would have been "too weird."
However, after they began talking, Metz and Collins found they had much in common, including mutual friends who were songwriters and music publishers. Metz remarked that they had visited the same rooms but never met.
The couple had their first date in May 2020, as Collins revealed on his birthday tribute. He described her as the "best thing" that had ever happened to him before professing his love. Although Metz felt it was "meant to be" with Collins, she joked about finding love on a dating app, saying:
"I feel like it was meant to be, for sure. [...] Who knew I had to go on the old Bumble? But I have no shame."
Chrissy Metz Was Rumored to Be Engaged to Bradley Collins in 2021
After being spotted with a ring on her hand in January 2021, the fans of Eaden's ex-wife started speculating about whether she and Collins were engaged. Much to their disappointment, she cleared the air when she appeared on "The Covino & Rich Show."
Metz explained that it was a gold honeycomb ring, a Christmas gift from Collins – who knew of her love for bees – that he had bought while they were Christmas shopping for a friend. Metz marveled at the social media frenzy the ring caused and criticized news outlets for not focusing on more important matters in her country.
