Brad from ‘Home Improvement’ Becomes Dad of Twins for the 2nd Time after Divorce & Arrest

• A former "Home Improvement" child star became a father of twins right on 2023's Mother's Day weekend.
• He endured being arrested after gaining fame in the series.
• The star found reconciliation with his family and was thankful to his mother, whom he takes on mother-son dates.

Zachery Tyler "Ty" Bryan was a well-known child star—now a film producer— and his most prominent role was as Brad Taylor on the ABC sitcom "Home Improvement." On May 12, 2023, days before Mother's Day, the actor and his wife welcomed a special gift—their newborn twins.

On his Instagram account, Bryan shared a hospital photo of him in scrubs and a face mask as his fiancée Johnnie Faye held their children. Bryan seemed quite pleased to meet his twins and shared some details about their birth in the caption.

He revealed they received the "best Mothers [sic] Day weekend gift" with the arrival of their twins at 9:04 a.m. and 9:07 a.m. The actor said his children were named Parker Lee Bryan and Sequoia Lynn Bryan, weighing 5.1 pounds and 4.7 pounds, respectively.

He shared how his fiancée was healthy and loving their new babies, and they were "ecstatic" to have the twins. Bryan concluded his message by wishing his partner, his mother Jenny Bryan, and all the mothers who did "God's work" a Happy Mother's Day before noting how they were appreciated.

The newborn twins are Bryan's second set of twins, having welcomed his first set with his previous wife, along with 2 other children. But while Bryan appears to be enjoying fatherhood now, his life wasn't all rosy prior. Things started going south after the series that made him popular ended.

What Happened to Zachery's Life That Almost Derailed His Life Forever?

Bryan appeared to be rising in fame when he concluded his time on "Home Improvement," where he popularized the catchphrase, "Does everyone know what time it is?" But things slowed down soon enough.

In 2009, he was allegedly "miscast" in "Thor: Hammer of the Gods," and by 2016, the then 30-year-old decided he was happier working behind the scenes.

Bryan started playing Taylor when he was only eight, and while he confessed acting was his "roots" and he would always be open to it, he knew working behind the camera would be his fate. But his life took a different turn and it almost destroyed his life.

In October 2020, Bryan was in jail for allegedly strangling his then-girlfriend. The star was arrested in Eugene, Oregon after neighbors called the police claiming there was a scuffle at an apartment.

The Eugene Police Department said police officers arrived and found Bryan, 39, outside his apartment. The alleged victim was said to be hiding from him at a friend's place not far from his apartment.

An investigation revealed that the actor got into an argument with the victim — a woman he was dating — and things reportedly got physical. The alleged incident happened two weeks after the celebrity announced his separation from Carly Matros, his wife of 13 years.

He received three-years probation for his involvement in the domestic violence case and had to promise not to contact the alleged victim. Prosecutors also agreed to drop six more charges, including coercion and strangulation, as part of his deal.

Bryan met his first wife, Carly, while attending La Cañada high school, and he married her in 2007. His post announcing their separation included a throwback photo of them during good times and revealed how they'd been partners, best friends, soulmates, and parents for nearly 14 years.

The star noted how he wasn't with her [Jenny] that day but was with her "in spirit."

Before separating, Carly and the actor welcomed four children — their twin girls, Taylor Simone and Gemma Rae Bryan, who were born in 2014. Two years later, they were blessed with the arrival of their third daughter, Jordana Nicole Bryan. In 2019, the former couple welcomed their first son when Pierce Alexander Bryan was born.

The star, who seems like a great father, might've previously had a brush with the law, but his parents brought him up well, and he praised them for being good examples.

Zachery's Undying Love for His Parents

On the day Bryan shared the first images of his brand new twins, he updated the Instagram post by including more photos of his family's additions and their mother.

The star also added a video of his fiancée, with whom he has one older child, bonding with one of their newest children. Followers got to see close-ups of the precious little ones.

While he took the time to appreciate his mother for Mother's Day in March 2021, the actor also showed how close he was to her in a different social media post.

The Instagram post showed him posing in a kitchen while his mother leaned against him and smiled. In the post's caption, he revealed he had gone out with his mother for some bonding time, writing:

"Takin' my mama on a date."

For 2020's Mother's Day, the actor uploaded another Instagram image of himself alongside his mother. He wished her a happy one and revealed they'd been on a journey before, thanking her for "instilling the fire" in him and reminding him constantly to be authentic and genuine.

The star noted how he wasn't with her that day but was with her "in spirit." He declared his love as a conclusion to his loving post.

In January 2023, Bryan took some time to pay tribute to his father, Dwight Bryan. He shared a lovely Instagram photo of him posing with his father in Palm Springs, California, and wished him a happy birthday. He added:

"I'm incredibly grateful that GOD chose me to be your son. I love you."

In April 2021, the dad of seven shared a picture of his parents in Vail, Colorado, at what seemed to be a ski resort. He revealed that the couple was "living by example" and that he was grateful for his parents.
