Kelly and Brunt have known each other since 2006 and dated for a couple of years before getting married. They officially exchanged vows in March 2008 at Oheka Castle in New York. One of Kelly’s colleagues, Kelly Wright, officiated the ceremony. The couple’s bond continues to stand strong and they remain each other’s biggest supporters.
In an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Brunt credited Kelly for her ‘self-awareness’ that played an essential role in solidifying their bond. Moreover, he revealed that they are very transparent and honest in opening up about their problems. “We just put it on the table and talk it through. And I think we’re both honest with ourselves and with each other about it,” he adds.

Brunt is a novelist, podcast host, and former CEO of a firm.
He attended Duke University to pursue an undergraduate degree, followed by an MBA at Georgetown University. Later, he became the CEO and President of internet security company, Authentium, Inc. However, he resigned after selling the firm to Commtouch in 2011.
