    Dance Moms alum Brooke Hyland is married

    The 28-year-old TV personality and Brian Thalman said "I do" in front of family and friends on February 21.


    Over the weekend, Brooke's Dance Moms co-stars Kendall Vertes and Melissa Gisoni gave their Instagram followers an insight into the newlyweds' big day.

    Kendall shared a photo of herself with Kenzie Ziegler, Chloe Lukasiak and Kalani Hilliker - over which she penned "The Thalmans" - as well as a selfie of her with Chloe, Kalani and Nia Sioux.

    In another sweet post, Kendall uploaded a shot of Melissa, Jill Vertes and Christi Lukasiak - the Dance Moms mothers - as they sat alongside each other at the ceremony.

    In a separate post, Kendall shared a photo of her raising a glass of fizz to Brooke and Brian, and she captioned it: "Cheers to the newlyweds."

    Melissa, meanwhile, uploaded another photo of her, Jill and Christi, as well as Brooke's mom, Kelly Hyland, dancing the night away.

    Melissa penned over the image: "What an amazing night!"

    Brooke and Brian announced their engagement back in May 2024, via Instagram, after he popped the question at the idyllic Frick Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

    The dancer took a joyous selfie of herself flashing her diamond engagement ring.

    Brooke captioned the post: "Current mood!!!!'

    Melissa reacted in the post's comments section with Sooooo happy for the 2 of you!! Love you so much!! (sic)"

    And Dr. Holly Frazier - the mom of ex-teammate Nia Frazier reacted in the post's comments section with: "Congratulations!!!!! My heart is bursting with joy!!!! Our Brooke is getting MARRIED!!!! (sic).

    Brian told People that he met Brooke in Pittsburgh in December 2021 while celebrating the holidays.

    He said: "At the time, she was living in Austin, Texas. Her cousin, who is my close friend, introduced us to one another,' he told the outlet.

    "We did long distance for a few months before Brooke moved back to Pittsburgh,' he shared.

    "For the last three years, the pair bonded over their shared love of pets, traveling and being active.

    "We also have a dog named Jack."
