Meet Matthew Lyons, Carla Hall’s husband
Carla Hall is married to her husband Matthew Lyons. The chef met her husband Matthew Lyons when she was 42 and would probably never have met if it weren’t for technology.
“We actually met on Match.com,” Carla tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I’m 42 and single. My mom calls me every Saturday, saying, ‘Carla, are you going out? Are you going to church? Are you doing anything, Are you going to the grocery store? What are you doing outside? What are you doing?’”
Carla wasn’t dating at the time, but her friend convinced her to sign up on Match.com. “When he found me, that was the first day I actually went on Match.com,” she says.
After exchanging messages on the site, the couple first met on their first date. After his divorce, Lyons used the site to meet women. He knew Hall was the right choice.
“I remember as soon as I saw her, my first thought was, ‘I’m done,’” Matthew said. When he reached across the table, Hall didn’t pull his hand away. It moved quickly after that.
“He kissed me,” Carla exclaimed. “I don’t know how long it had been since I’d been kissed.” Without receiving a formal proposal, the couple married in early February of the following year. More than a month before their official wedding, an unscheduled ceremony was held at the judge’s home.
“It’s like we have two days,” Matthew added. “February 12, but our wedding day is April 29.”
Furthermore, in April 2022, Carla took to her social media to celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary. She wrote, “Happy 16th wedding anniversary to this amazing man, friend, and husband. Time has flown by so quickly, and I look forward to another 16 years and more!”
On Father’s Day 201, Carla wished her husband a happy Father’s Day via an IG post. She wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to THIS GUY! @matthewdlyons, like the card, says “This dad thing… You’re awesome!” Happy Father’s Day to ALL dads (real, deceased, step, surrogate, wannabe, or whoever you happen to be).”

No, Matthew Lyons is mixed race. His father, Norman Lyons, whom Matt calls “a mentor, a witty mentor, and just a great human being,” is of Hispanic/Black descent. Meanwhile, his mother, Judith Eve (Busby) Johnson, is white. His mother, born May 31, 1995, passed away on May 27, 1997.
Matthew Lyons’ work
By profession, Matthew Lyons is an attorney at the FDA. He served the organization from July 2015 to May 2018. Within the organization, Matthew worked as a Branch Chief/Supervisory Regulatory Advisor.
Additionally, Matthew has served on the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, Clark & Weinstock, Representative Earl Hilliard (D-AL), the Biotechnology Industry Organization, Pfizer Inc, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products, and the Food and Drug Administration.
According to his website, he is a “yoga and meditation instructor” from DC. He has reportedly always loved all forms of art, but began teaching in 2016 after going on a yoga retreat a few years ago.
Matthew, however, wanted to be an architect. He went to college to study design. He then switched to literature and eventually law. After college and during and after law school, he worked for nearly 26 years in political and government relations, with a brief stint in unbranded marketing in New York.
“I suspect the reason I say this is because for nearly three decades I couldn’t say that the work I did was a source of joy or fulfillment,” he writes on his website. “I had no idea that teaching yoga and meditation would become a realization of what had heart and meaning.”
Matthew’s yoga journey began over nine years ago when a friend invited him to a Bikram Yoga class. “I don’t like the heat or humidity, to put it mildly, but I took on the challenge,” he says. His passion for teaching then took hold in 2016, and he completed a 200-hour RYT Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training and a 100-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in May and June 2017.
Matthew is trained and certified in restorative yoga and Yoga Nidrā. He began teaching in the summer of 2017.
