‘Ted Lasso’ star Brendan Hunt marries in Ireland

Ted Lasso‘s Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard on the Apple TV+ series, has married his longtime actress girlfriend, Shannon Nelson.

“Oh wait! I totally forgot to mention- me and @snoopshann got married in Ireland a couple weeks ago. NBD,” Hunt shared Wednesday on Instagram. “It was done with way less lead time than you’re supposed to give, and way fewer guests than we would have liked to have under normal circumstances.”

Photos shared by both the groom and the bride, who herself appeared on the optimistic, Emmy-winning series as Ms. Ledbetter in 2023, depict them in wedding attire, standing in front of costar Jason Sudeikiswalking down the aisle hand-in-hand, and cutting a rug on the dance floor.

“We’re pretty sure the dude who married us was only pretending to be a priest,” Hunt captioned the images. “But we just about pulled it off.”

He said the bride was “stunning, while the groom cleaned up reasonably well. It was all quite lovely, and best of all our little boys got to see it. Shout out to all the young-at-heart lovers out there. In the words of my aunt Ellen, ‘It’s so much better to have a teammate.'”

Nelson added her own adoring caption.

“A wedding. A perfectly Irish day set the stage for what was the best day of my life,” she wrote. “Look at my husband! Look at him. Our children walked me down the aisle and watched as their Dad and I said our vows and tied our family together in the most quiet, musical, silly and lovely way and then we danced until my shoe leather wore off.”

She asked for people to “please pardon what will likely be a fair amount of future posts as they keep coming in from the weekend.”

Hunt and Nelson are the parents of sons Sean, 4, and 1-year-old Archie.

Hunt is a co-creator of the sports comedy that went into production on its fourth season in July, although a release date has not yet been announced.
