Yahoo News Ted Lasso star Brendan Hunt postpones wedding to fiancé
Ted Lasso star Brendan Hunt has postponed his wedding to partner Shannon Nelson due to her pregnancy with the couple's second child.
Hunt, who appeared in the Emmy Award-winning comedy-drama as Coach Beard, announced his engagement to Nelson in June this year, but recently told US Weekly that the pair had a very exciting reason for delaying the nuptials.
When asked what he was doing to plan for the wedding, Hunt answered: "Not very much at all, because we are pregnant again."
Nelson also shared the news via Instagram earlier in September, captioning a picture of her baby bump and a script in development: "Incubating a couple of things."

Continuing, the football drama's Coach Beard actor added that both he and his partner were in no rush to tie the knot, as they've both been married before.
“I’m excited,” he said, before adding: "Shannon has decided she basically doesn’t want to have any wedding pictures of her while she’s pregnant, and we’ve both been married before, so we’re not full of wonder of what’s it going to be like.”
He concluded by giving the publication an estimate of when the big day might arrive – but that it was unlikely to be before Nelson gives birth.
“We wanted to do it properly, so we’ll take our time. But it probably won’t be until kid No. 2 is here.”
Hunt and Nelson already have a son named Sean.

In April 2023, Hunt exclusively told Digital Spy that there was a possibility of a Ted Lasso spin-off, which wrapped up in May this year after three seasons.
"I definitely could [see more instalments of the Ted Lasso universe]," he teased.
"I don't know that it will but if it does, whichever character it is about, I hope it's animated and they're fighting crime."
Ted Lasso is available to stream on Apple TV+.
