Brianne Howey Kept Running Into Matt Ziering Before They Started Dating
Here's everything to know about Matt Ziering and his relationship with Howey so far.
Ziering is originally from Los Angeles and attended Loyola Marymount Law School. He went on to work as a lawyer, passing the bar in 2017. Per his X account, Ziering loves sports, especially baseball, and follows the St. Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Guardians, Philadelphia Phillies, and the L.A. Dodgers.
He and Howey share a dog named Bodie, whom they adopted when their wedding in 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic. Howey told Los Angeles magazine in 2021, 'We couldn't get married in 2020, but we did get a dog.'
Ziering and Howie love dressing up for Halloween, and Bodie is often included.
They also love traveling together. Ziering's Instagram is private, but Howey often posts shots from their trips.
The couple had mutual friends in Los Angeles, and Howey told Los Angeles magazine, 'We ran into each other three nights in a row at a couple bars in L.A.'
During a June 2025 appearance on Jenna and Friends, Howey called the run-in a 'coincidence' and 'fate,' before sharing that Ziering admitted in his vows that he called around to find out where she might be a few of those nights.
In November 2014, Howey revealed she was seeing someone in an interview with Complex, but didn't identify him.
'I live with my boyfriend, and we see lots of movies,' she shared. 'I love going to farmer's markets; they're my favorite thing in the world. I just think they're so fun; you get little samples, and you can buy flowers and fruit and stuff. And, because I'm from L.A., I spend a lot of time with my family. Luckily I get to see them all the time.'
They were married in July 2021 after plans for their ceremony were canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. After the ceremony, held in a backyard garden in Palos Verdes, California, Howey told People, 'It was the most beautiful feeling to be surrounded by so many people we love. The night was more magical than I could have ever imagined. I wish all of my nights could end with a Son of a Gun fried chicken sandwich and a Spice Girls dance party.'
Howey revealed she was expecting in March 2023, with a picture of herself in a body-hugging Hugo dress.
She and Ziering welcomed their first child in June 2023. In a post on June 18, Howey wrote, 'My whole world just got a whole lot sweeter. And smaller. Welcome my little love 💛.'
Howey sometimes shares photos from their family life together, including more group costumes for Halloween.

'E! News' to end this year after 3 decades
The broadcast show 'E! News' will end this year, concluding a run that began in 1991 but which was interrupted during the Covid-19 pandemic, a source close to the situation said. The person confirmed the plans to cancel the broadcast show to NBC News, after the news was previously reported Thursday by Variety and other publications. Its final tape date will be September 25. Employees were notified Thursday morning. The entertainment network will remain online. "Access Hollywood" and "Access Daily" will continue its broadcasts. The broadcast show launched in 1991 but it was canceled in 2020 during the pandemic, which caused serious disruptions not only to the economy but also to studio shows. The broadcast show was brought back in 2022. E! is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, but it will move along with other brands, including MSNBC and CNBC, to Comcast spin-off Versant, Comcast has said.

Former Food Network Star Recalled Anne Burrell ‘Going Through Some Stuff' as Her Death Is Ruled a Suicide
A little over a month after her unexpected passing, Anne Burrell's death has been ruled a suicide. The New York City medical examiner's office has determined that the 55-year-old Food Network star's cause of death was from 'acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine,' according to People. As Star reported last month, Burrell was 'found next to dozens of pills,' per the New York Post and her husband, Stuart Claxton, found her 'unresponsive' in the shower of their Brooklyn, New York home. Additionally, a rep for the New York City Fire Department told Page Six that the person who called 911 said Burrell went into 'cardiac arrest' and was 'DOA [dead on arrival].' Days after her passing, fellow Food Network star Duff Goldman hinted that the former Worst Cooks in America host had been privately struggling years prior. 'Anne and I became friends in probably 2006,' Goldman wrote in a June 19 Instagram post. 'She was going through some stuff and I had heard that she was feeling it, so on a trip to NYC from Baltimore I had made her a cake that said 'Don't let the bastards win.' She never did.' 'We had a complex relationship, and I remember the last conversation we had before our paths drifted was a pretty feisty debate about the merits of catfish,' he recalled. 'I believe the words 'trash fish,' 'tastes like mud,' and 'cake boy' were used.' 'Anne and I always had a spirited and somewhat acerbic back and forth,' Goldman continued. 'I really never knew why our paths drifted but I always hoped that wherever she was, Anne was doing well and was finding some happiness.' Goldman explained that about two years ago, he attended an event in New York City where he ran into the former Secrets of a Restaurant Chef host. 'Now, at this point we hadn't spoken in years, and I won't go into what we talked about but I will say that that conversation left my heart lifted and full of light, for it truly seemed to me that Anne really had found a measure of happiness and love,' Goldman penned. 'Life is tough, and we have to be tough to get through it.' 'Anne was as tough as they come,' he added, 'but when you got past the armor there was a depth of compassion and kindness that was absolutely beautiful. My heart sings when I think of the love and tranquility that it seems Anne had found recently.' Burrell is survived by her husband and his son, Javier, her mother, Marlene, and sister, Jane.
