'It Became Overwhelming:' Brittany Snow On How Reality TV Ended Her Relationship With Ex-Husband

In a new interview with Self magazine published on Thursday, November 6, 2025, Hollywood actress, Brittany Snow, has opened up about one of the most painful chapters of her life, her divorce from Selling the OC star, Tyler Stanaland, and how the world of reality television played an unexpected and devastating role in ending their marriage. In a recent interview, the Pitch Perfect actress, revealed that her relationship began to unravel soon after her ex-husband joined the Netflix reality series, which follows luxury real estate agents in Orange County, California.

Brittany Snow talked about her ex-husband and marriage 

Brittany Snow, who is known for keeping her personal life private, explained that the sudden exposure brought on by Stanaland’s reality TV fame completely changed the dynamics of their marriage. “It felt like a running snowball I couldn’t catch,” she admitted, describing how quickly things spiraled once filming began. What had once been a relationship grounded in trust and intimacy became a public spectacle overnight.

The couple, who tied the knot in March 2020, had always maintained a low profile despite being in the public eye. But that changed when Tyler Stanaland joined Selling the OC in 2022, a spin-off of the popular real estate, show Selling Sunset. The show’s cameras didn’t just follow Tyler’s professional life; they also captured interactions that would soon spark headlines and controversy. Rumors of flirtation and on-screen chemistry between Tyler and his co-stars quickly began circulating online, creating tension both on and off the set.

Brittany recalled that the media attention surrounding the show and her husband’s newfound fame took a toll on her emotional health. “It wasn’t just the show — it was everything that came with it,” she shared. “The speculation, the gossip, the constant noise. It became overwhelming.” For someone who had built her career in Hollywood while maintaining boundaries around her private life, the loss of that control was disorienting.

By late 2022, the couple announced their separation, and in early 2023, their divorce was finalised. At the time, both parties released brief, respectful statements asking for privacy, but neither had spoken in detail about the reasons behind the split until now.

Many people thought that the reason for their divorce was infidelity. Despite the heartbreak, Snow has since focused on healing and rebuilding her life. She emphasized that the experience, while painful, also taught her important lessons about boundaries, trust, and staying grounded amid chaos. She said:

“You learn a lot about yourself when the world is watching something so personal fall apart. I had to take a step back and really decide what kind of peace I wanted in my life.”

Today, Brittany Snow continues to work on new projects in film and television, including producing and directing. While she admits that part of her will always wish things had turned out differently, she has found strength in vulnerability and honesty. “It was heartbreaking, but I’m grateful for the clarity it brought,” she said. “Sometimes, losing something you love makes you realize who you truly are.”
