Deep dive into Tyler Stanaland’s messy romantic past as he pops question to ‘love of his life’
Crikey, that moved fast
So here’s the tea, Tyler Stanaland, the surfer-turned-luxury-real-estate-agent-turned-reality-star from Netflix‘s Selling The OC, just popped the question to his girlfriend of five months, Hannah Morrisey.
But before we high-five him for reaching forever-town so fast, let’s rewind and talk about the messy, juicy, wait-what? chapters that got him here. Strap in, folks.
The new engagement explored
In mid-October 2025, Tyler announced his engagement to Hannah after just five months of dating. He posted a thoughtful message to Instagram, writing:
“Last week, in the very place we road-tripped to shortly after we first met, I asked the best person I’ve ever known for forever. Our little family just got a whole lot more official. … When the right person enters your life, it’s not just love, it’s a transformation. All the uncertainties are replaced with peace and partnership.”
They started dating around May 2025.
So in just half a year we went from meeting to an official couple to a full-on proposal. We’re talking warp speed, people. Some might say ‘go big or go home’, but you can’t help but wonder… has Tyler truly learned from past chapters, or is this just the next season of his relationship saga?
Tyler’s marriage to Brittany Snow
Before the headlines of flirtations and reality TV drama, Tyler entered into a major commitment.
He married actress Brittany Snow in March 2020. They’d started dating years earlier, got engaged in 2019, and tied the knot in the early pandemic days.
But by September 2022, their union hit the rocks.
Brittany announced their separation, citing “time and consideration” and the desire for each to live their most “authentic” life, per Yahoo. Officially, the divorce was filed in January 2023 and finalised the following July, reported People.
Reality TV relationships got stormy
Once Tyler joined the spotlight via Selling The OC, things started to get… complicated.
During season one, rumours floated about castmate Kayla Cardona making advances toward Tyler.
Brittany later revealed she “did not know what was going on… I didn’t have a handle on reality in that way,” per People.
Then came season two, and with it a hot-tub moment involving Tyler and fellow agent Alex Hall. The headlines exploded. Brittany publicly admitted: “What people think happened, happened,” per Page Six.
Alex Hall, for her part, pushed back on the cheating narrative, but she did say, per People, that Tyler was “very, very bad at setting boundaries.”
She disclosed the kiss with another agent, Polly Brindle, while Tyler was already divorced (though not yet entirely out of the spotlight), per EW.
So we have flirtations, on-camera chemistry, and messy proximity in a high-pressure work environment.
The result? A marriage ends. Public commentary begins. Tyler insists he never cheated. “I was never unfaithful in my marriage,” he posted. Meanwhile, Brittany says she “had instincts” and regrets not trusting them.
Turning over a new leaf with Hannah
So here we are… Tyler, post-divorce, post-TV-drama, is moving fast with Hannah. Is this redemption? A fresh start? Or just the next act?
In his engagement message, Tyler wrote that everything felt aligned, filled with “peace and partnership.”
If nothing else, that suggests he believes he’s learned something. The quick proposal may still raise eyebrows, but perhaps for him, this felt very right very quickly!
