Let’s learn more about her through Shannon Nelson Biography below.
Meet Shannon Nelson, Ted Lasso Actor Brendan Hunt Wife
Shannon Nelson got engaged to longtime boyfriend Brendan Hunt in June 2023.
Sharing the good news, she wrote on her IG, “We are a family. A wonderful family and will always be. Some people think we have done this already, but the truth is we had other priorities when it came to being a family. It feels right now. I get to marry this amazing man. I get to call him my husband and be his wife and I am the luckiest person.”
Similarly, actor Ted Lasso posted a photo of his wife showing off the ring on his IG and captioned the post, “The majestic @snoopshann, rarely photographed in her natural habitat, captured here as she says ‘yes’.”
But this isn’t the first time the couple have complimented each other on Instagram.
On Brendan’s 50th birthday, Shannon wrote on her IG, “He is truly intelligent, incredibly talented, always willing to teach the game to those who don’t know how to play or spread the word about football and he is working hard to create amazing things for all of us to enjoy.”
She also added, “Getting to navigate this crazy world with him by my side is such an amazing gift. Watching him with our son, seeing their love, and knowing that our son doesn’t even know how good of a life he has yet, is really exciting sometimes.”
Plus, Shannon is thrilled to have Ted as her child’s father. “I’m so excited to watch Sean discover the immense joy he gets every day from having him as his father,” she said.
Brendan Hunt And Shannon Nelson Children
Shannon Nelson and Brendan Hunt welcomed their son Sean on January 23, 2021, at 10:32 a.m. GMT, weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.6 inches long. He was born after 27 hours of labor and ultimately a cesarean section.
Unfortunately, Sean wasn’t the healthiest kid. “The inconvenient and near-constant doctor’s visits, the pills, the patches, the shots, the hormones, the waiting, the testing, the tears,” Shannon says. But through it all, she found the magic of motherhood.
Raising her son has been the best time of her life. “My beautiful ginger love. Today, you brought me your treasures for the first time and I was so touched thinking about how lucky we are to be your parents. Hearing you say ‘mama’ broke my heart,” she wrote on IG.
