Following the announcement, the couple received an outpouring of congratulations from family and friends, including Zac’s A-list clients. Reese Witherspoon, Nina Dobrev and Zoey Deutch were among the first to congratulate the couple, along with many others.
Zan and Harrison first went Instagram official in April 2021. Since then, they’ve been sharing regular updates on each other’s social media — from a trip down Park Avenue and a visit to the North York Moors National Park to high-profile events.

Harrison, in his story, also briefly describes how at the age of 7, he was already doing very good jumps, which helped him to be able to jump in the following years. And he caught up very quickly because of his older brothers, who were studying karate at the time.
Harrison’s mother eventually signed him up for classes. Another story is that he was the only one there, thinking only about his ballet class.
Later, his mother also ignited the artistic spark in him, so as soon as he moved to the Charleston area, he began dancing. He was 12 when he took his first professional class with the late, esteemed Wilhelm (Willy) Burmann.
