'Home Improvement' Cast: Where Are They Now?
The former child star was previously married to high school sweetheart Carly Matros from 2007 until 2020. The pair share four kids: twin daughters Taylor and Gemma, who were born in 2014, Jordana, who they welcomed in 2016 and son Pierce, who they welcomed in 2019.
Following his separation from Matros, Bryan was arrested in October 2020 for allegedly strangling his then-girlfriend. Us Weekly confirmed earlier this year that the Dark Tourist actor agreed to a plea deal in the domestic violence case in which he agreed to plead guilty to menacing and fourth-degree assault.
Bryan received three years of probation and promised to have no further contact with the alleged victim. As part of the deal, prosecutors agreed to drop six other charges against him, including strangulation and coercion.
The Colorado native is best known for playing Brad, the eldest son of Tim “The Toolman” Taylor (Tim Allen) on the sitcom Home Improvement. The show, which ran for eight seasons from 1991 to 1999, also starred Richard Karn, Patricia Richardson and Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith as Brad’s younger brothers, Randy and Mark.
Bryan has frequently shared nostalgic posts from his time on the ABC sitcom via Instagram, often joking about Thomas, 41, and his status as a ’90s heartthrob. “The 2nd best looking guy in a photo of 2,” he captioned a throwback photo of him and the Lion King voice actor posing for the teen magazine 16 at the height of the show’s fame. When a fan asked in the comments if he and JTT keep in touch, Bryan joked, “Nah, never met him. He’s handsome tho, ya?”
