Brendon Urie's Wife Sarah Urie Used to Date a Paramore Band Member – All We Know About Her

Sarah Urie, Brendon Urie's wife, met her future husband while in a relationship with another band member. In the past, her famous husband has spoken about their relationship as a pansexual man and revealed that he never saw himself getting married. But that all changed when he met Sarah.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Brendon announced that he and Sarah were expecting their first child. The good news was a bittersweet moment, as the Panic! At the Disco frontman also shared that the band would be parting ways after 20 years.

Sarah and Brendon's relationship stretches back over ten years when they met after one of his concerts. Now, the former band singer revealed that as he closed one chapter of his life, he was excited to start another as a parent.

In February 2023, Urie became a first-time dad with the birth of his child. However, he and his wife have yet to announce details surrounding their newborn. The couple’s happy moment welcoming their baby came shortly after they announced Sarah’s pregnancy over Instagram.

"Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!" the singer said. "The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure."

Sarah Urie Is a Makeup Artist Who Dated a Paramore Band Member in the Past

Although Sarah is commonly known as the wife of a famous singer, she is also a makeup artist with years of experience and an actress. After graduating from Lutheran High School Westland in 2005, Sarah kickstarted her career in cosmetics.

She studied Esthetics and Makeup at Michigan College of Beauty-Troy before landing a job as a makeup artist and Esthetician at Mac Cosmetics for two years. After gaining experience, Sarah became self-employed.

In 2013, she tried her hand at acting and appeared in an episode of "Good Cops." She garnered a large social media following over the years, with over six hundred thousand followers on Instagram at the time of writing.

During an interview with 104.1 The Edge, Brendon revealed that Sarah is also a great cook. The band frontman praised his wife's culinary skills—who is of Polish and Irish descent—and her combination of foods from her mixed heritage.

Much like her husband, Sarah rarely interacts on social media. In the past, she hopped on Instagram Live and shared she was a lover of pop-punk and regularly attended concerts. It was how she met her good friend, Paramore's lead singer Hayley Williams. Sarah said:

"I met Paramore in 2006. They were on Warped Tour, and I met them... that’s how I met Hayley; we’ve been friends for so long now. She’s just like my sister, and I love her so much… She’s such a good person.”

Hayley Williams Helped Brendon and Sarah Get Together

Hayley proved not only to be Sarah's friend but also her wing-woman. Sarah and Brendon first met in Michigan in 2009; fresh off the stage, he recalled seeing "the most gorgeous creature" outside his tour bus. "I didn't know what to do. I was like, freaking out," he said.

After plucking up the courage to make a move, Sarah and Brendon ended up enjoying each other's company all night, ending the evening with drinks at a bar. However, Sarah caught Brendon off guard when she revealed that she had a boyfriend.

"I basically told her, 'If you don't leave this bus right now, I'm going to try to kiss you, and I'm not that guy,'" said Brendon. Nearly a year passed before their paths crossed again, although this time, Sarah was single. That is where Hayley came into the picture.

Well aware that Sarah and Brendon had feelings for each other, Hayley reacquainted them during one of her shows with her ex-husband, New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert. Brendon shared:

"So Hayley brought her in and it worked out really well. It was wild. We both felt something crazy and luckily her old relationship ended and I swooped in all smooth."

Sarah's old relationship had been with Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis. The former couple dated for multiple years before going their separate ways. In December 2015, Jeremy eventually left Paramore.

After two years of dating, Brendon asked Sarah to be his wife; by 2013, they were Mr. and Mrs. Urie. Their floral wedding took place in Malibu and included many floral details.

Sarah shared that her wedding was equal parts romantic and whimsical, as friends and family joined them for the celebration. She added:

"It was very important for us to have this day reflect our love for one another… every detail really came together the day of and we became very emotional when we finally got to see it all at once.... It truly felt like a real-life fairy tale."

Sarah Urie Inspired Brendon's "Panic! At the Disco" Album

In 2015, Brendon and his band announced that they were releasing their fifth album, "Death of a Bachelor," which was "a throw-out to" Sarah.

Sarah was not alone on the list of Brendon's inspirations behind his album, as he revealed that he was a huge Frank Sinatra fan.

Brandon wrote the album at his shared home with Sarah while reflecting on how much his lifestyle had changed. Before Sarah's husband met her, he was a single man constantly on the road with his band.

"I never thought I was able to let go of the past... it's just been a smorgasbord of craziness for ten years… and that was really talking about me as a single guy -- and now I'm married," he said

Coming into his own as producer and songwriter, "Death of a Bachelor" was somewhat of a confessional for Sarah's husband. He had started Panic! At The Disco with Ryan Ross, Jon Walker, and Spencer Smith, who all cut ties with the band over the years, leaving Brendon as the only original band member.

After growing comfortable in his skin, Bredon became more candid in his music. Sarah was not alone on the list of Brendon's inspirations behind his album, as he revealed that he was a huge Frank Sinatra fan. He also drew inspiration from the LA party scene, with a track on "Death of a Bachelor" titled "LA Devotee."

Brendon Urie Once Opened Up about What It Means to Be Pansexual and Married to a Woman

In June 2018, Brendon took fans by surprise when he revealed that he identified as pansexual. During his appearance on "The Kyle & Jackie O Show" on KIIS FM, co-host Kyle Sandilands admitted he had never heard of the term before.

Brendon clarified that he did not see himself entering a relationship with a person other than Sarah. But in the unlikely event that their marriage ended, a person's gender would not be a defining factor in who he chose to date next.

Brendon explained that his attraction to another person was solely based on connection and not gender. Brendon had been what he coined "Stage gay," which meant during the rush of concerts and live performances, he would become affectionate toward the people around him.

He recalled his guitar player getting upset whenever he would kiss him on the neck or mouth or when he would have a few beers and share kisses with his friends and "fool around."

Although Brendon had officially come out as pansexual during his Paper Magazine interview, he had also always known about his sexuality. He said, "It was never weird for me."

However, Brendon clarified that he did not see himself entering a relationship with a person other than Sarah. But in the unlikely event that their marriage ended, a person's gender would not be a defining factor in who he chose to date next. He said:

"If a person is good, I'm into that person - guy, girl, trans– it doesn't matter to me."

Fans Found Out Brendon and Sarah Would Become Parents Even before the Official Announcement

Sarah and Brendon joined April Bowlby and other celebrities who shared that they were pregnant on Instagram when the couple announced their pregnancy via an Instagram post in early 2023. Afterward, fans and fellow celebrities filled their comment section with congratulatory messages.

However, in 2020, Sarah and her husband sparked pregnancy rumors after a fan noticed a picture of her appearing pregnant in the background of a Twitter post.

Having said they were not planning to have children in the past, the speculation of their pregnancy triggered various responses from social media users on Twitter.

"What the [expletive] do you mean Sarah Urie is PREGNANT," one fan wrote, while another said, "Ok, I haven't been active in the EMO fandom in like a couple of years, and I see Brendon Urie trending, and I SEE THAT HIM AND SARAH ARE HAVING A CHILD?!?! WHAT!?!?"

In the heartfelt message dedicated to his fans, the singer – who has collaborated with Taylor Swift – did not disclose further information about the arrival of his child and has wiped his Instagram account clean.

Urie and Sarah don't post about their child. In fact, Urie has yet to make his first Instagram post for his over 3.9 million followers.

Meanwhile, his wife shares glimpses of their personal life on her Instagram, often from events or vacations. According to her social media bio, she is based in both Los Angeles and Detroit.

In his March 2023 show, Urie thanked his fans for supporting Panic! At The Disco for many years. He also revealed that the birth of his child was one of the reasons the band broke up.
