Matt Ziering's wife, Brianne Howey, entered the Hollywood spotlight in the late 2000s, appearing in film shorts and landing walk-on roles in several TV shows, including "90210," "NCIS," "The Middle," and "Criminal Minds."

In 2013, she started playing Audrey Stone in "Red Scare," the mystery TV series set in 1956. It was her longest recurring role since her acting career began, but her fame catapulted when she starred in the drama horror series "The Exorcist."

Howey appeared alongside other stars, including Alfonso Herrera, Alicia Witt, and Geena Davis—who became a mom of three at 48. However, her most notable credit is in Netflix's "Ginny and Georgia," leading as Georgia alongside Scott Porter, who played her love interest, Mayor Paul Rudolph.

Matt Often Appears on His Wife's Social Media

Apart from his occupation, little is known about Ziering's background. He graduated from Loyola Marymount University and currently works as a California-based lawyer. He has an Instagram account going by "unclezito;" however, it was private at the time of publication.

Ziering's account had amassed over 900 followers, with a timeline boasting over 200 posts. In his bio, he referred to himself as "Brianne's husband" and "Bodie's dad," who is likely the couple's adorable dog.

Matt and Brianne Had to Postpone the Wedding

Ziering and Howey met sometime between 2015 and 2016 while out bar-hopping with friends. They bumped into each other three nights in a row at three different clubs. The first time, Ziering was celebrating his completion of the bar exam while Howey was out on a fun night.

During a chat with LA Magazine, Ziering clarified that they had mutual friends, so it wasn't "totally random." Years later, they were ready to tie the knot. Their original wedding day would've been in October 2020, but they postponed it due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That's when they got their furry companion.

The couple married in July 2021 in front of over 100 guests in a Palos Verdes family home in California. Speaking about the momentous occasion, Howey gushed about how much of a "magical night" it was, saying:

"It was the most beautiful feeling to be surrounded by so many people we love. The night was more magical than I could have ever imagined. I wish all of my nights could end with a Son of a Gun fried chicken sandwich and a Spice Girls dance party."

Howey donned a stunning gown from A La Robe, while her husband wore a simple black tux with a bow tie. Their reception was catered by Los Angeles-based eatery Jon and Vinny's, and their wedding photos were captured by Tec Pejata.

Howey may have gotten her happily-ever-after with Ziering, but her former co-star's romantic life, Alicia Witt, remained shrouded in mystery. Over the years, her fans have conjured many puzzling stories about the actress's love life.
