How long have Brendan Hunt and Shannon Nelson been together?

It is exactly unclear how long Brendan and Shannon have been together. The newly engaged couple prefers to keep a low-key profile when it comes to their personal life.

However, the couple share a son named Sean Theodore Nelson Hunt, who was born in January 2021. Hunt celebrated Father’s Day for the first time being a father himself in June of the same year.

Shannon praised Hunt at the time while captioning,

“I am so excited to watch Sean discover every day what a jackpot he won getting you to be his Dad. Here’s to a lifetime of Father’s Days and some that may even allow you more sleep. We love you so much!”

Similarly, she occasionally posts on Instagram with her little one. Last month, she shared a series of pictures featuring her son from the set of the hit show, Ted Lasso as it came to an end.

She added,

“Congratulations to this entire cast and crew and to all of our new friends made on this journey and everyone in Barnes and Richmond and London who welcomed us with open arms,”
