Former Disney Channel star Kimberly J. Brown, 39, and Youthful Daze alum, Daniel Kountz, 45, tied the knot on April 19, 2024, nearly eight years after they started dating.
The couple met while filming the movie Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge in 2001, but they did not start dating until years later. They went public with their relationship in 2018.
For their wedding, Brown wore a strapless white tulle gown, while Kountz wore a black suit. The couple shared photos from their ceremony on Instagram, captioning them, ‘This Will Be…An Everlasting Love …’ Mr. & Mrs. Kountz Est. 4.19.24.’
The pair have a long history together, having met on the set of Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge. In the movie, Brown’s character, Marnie, meets Kountz’s manipulative and charming Kal — a.k.a Kalabar’s son — at a Halloween party at her house in the mortal world. Soon, Marnie finds out that Kal is trying to enact his father Kalabar’s revenge on Halloweentown by creating a “gray spell” on its otherwise colorful and vibrant town.
After playing enemies on screen, Kimberly and Daniel reconnected years later. In 2021, the Halloween queen revealed via TikTok that she and the real estate agent had “no romantic feelings for each other at all” while working together on set. Not only that, but they “didn’t see or talk to each other for, like at least a good 10 years or so” afterward.
“We first met 20 years ago filming a movie together where our characters flirted a little bit in the beginning, but then I found out he was my family’s arch-nemesis and basically hated him for the rest of the movie,” Kimberly said. “Then [we] reconnected a few years ago to film some comedy sketches for my YouTube channel and unexpectedly fell in love. So, it’s funny how life surprises you sometimes.”
Since then, Kimberly and Daniel have attended events together, from comic cons to ’90s Con. Not only that, but they’ve also poked fun at their on-set Halloweentown experience by creating funny social media videos.
