All About Nicholas Hoult's Wife, Bryana Holly
Superman actor Nicholas Hoult has been in the spotlight since childhood, which may be why he keeps his personal life with wife Bryana Holly so private. The actor did not even share that they were engaged until casually referring to Holly as his 'wife' in November 2024 at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles. A month later, they made their red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of Nosferatu, eight years after they first started dating. Here's everything to know about Bryana Holly and her connection to Hoult so far. Holly is a model from California and she met Hoult in Los Angeles, per a 2019 interview the actor did with the Evening Standard. She primarily models lingerie and swimwear and is signed with Wilhelmina Models and No Ties Management. Holly was name Miss September by TransWorld Surf in 2012, according to Men's Journal, when she was only 20-years-old and living in Huntington Beach. In the interview, she described herself as a 'mutt mix,' saying she has a diverse background of 'Hawaiian, Japanese, Slovenian, Russian, and the list goes on.' She also shared that her turn ons include 'Intelligence, good sense of humor, a man in a wetsuit,' and turn offs are 'cockiness, liars, and meatheads.' In 2013, Holly dated Brody Jenner, brother to the famous Kardashian and Jenner sisters and star of The Hills. The couple reportedly began dating in 2016, but kept things very private. They were photographed together in 2019. In July 2022, Holly shared a carousel on Instagram titled 'life lately' that included shots of Hoult. In January 2023, they attended a basketball game courtside. In December 2023, she celebrated seven years together with a carousel of photos. In November 2024, while talking to E! News about watching Nosferatu with Holly, he said, 'Afterwards, I remember I had my wife's nails imprinted on my hand.' Hoult responded to People's questions about the word by saying, 'I feel like it's fairly clear from my comments.' The couple share one son, Joaquin, born in April 2018. 'The levels of tiredness are extreme,' Hoult told the Evening Standard of parenthood in January 2019. 'No one warns you about it! But the level of love that comes with it outweighs everything. It's phenomenal. I'm loving it. And it evolves all the time. They change so much, every day is different. It fills you up as a human completely.' He added, 'It makes you value time differently, which is why I talk very quickly in interviews now because I need to get home to them.' In March 2024, Hoult was seen with Joaquin at an Atlanta Hawks game. In June 2025, Holly shared a photo to celebrate Hoult as a dad, blocking her son's face. Holly wrote in the caption, 'happy daddy's day to our guy. couldn't love you more.'

Carson Branstine, model and rising tennis phenom, enters spotlight ahead of Wimbledon match
Carson Branstine was already a fan favorite before she entered the first round of Wimbledon against the top-ranked women's tennis player in the world, Aryna Sabalenka. Branstine, of Canada, starred at Texas A&M and helped the Aggies to a national championship before she turned pro. She was able to make the final bracket for Wimbledon after she tore through the qualifying rounds, defeating one-time U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu, Raluca Georgiana Serban and Lois Boisson. However, what captured the attention of social media before the match against Sabalenka was her status as a fashion model. Branstine is signed with Wilhelmina Models and the Neal Hamil Agency. She opened up about funding her tennis dreams through modeling in an interview with reporters ahead of Wimbledon earlier this month. "I love being in front of the camera during a shoot. It's fun, I love fashion. It's been one of the reasons I've been able to pay some of my trips. I didn't want to ask my parents for anything — I wanted everything to come from me and from my tennis," she said, via Clay. "I wasn't signed by these agencies because of my tennis — it was for my look. Modeling and tennis are weirdly similar – you are an object a lot, and people sometimes forget you're a person too." While Branstine fell to Sabalenka in straight sets, she gave the Belarusian a run for her money in the second set, losing 7-5. She was ranked No. 194 in the world before going up against Sabalenka. She has 136 wins in her career and seven titles in International Tennis Federation events. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
