Courtney Salviolo: Brandon Sklenar’s Hinge Match and Personal Trainer

Courtney Salviolo operates largely outside the public eye, working as a personal trainer and nutritionist. She began sharing health and lifestyle content on Instagram in 2022 to connect with followers through her professional knowledge and personal experiences.

Origin of Their Relationship

The couple’s connection traces back to the dating application Hinge. In a March 2025 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Brandon Sklenar confirmed that they crossed paths during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and have remained together since that time.

Sklenar explained that meeting new people was difficult during that period, prompting him to try the app "right when COVID happened" in 2020. He noted he was not previously active on social media platforms like Facebook or phone apps, but decided to join Hinge, stating, “I actually met my partner on a dating app.”

Public Appearances and Red Carpet Debut

Although the pair had been dating for some time, their first official red carpet appearance occurred at the August 2024 premiere of It Ends With Us in New York City. They attended alongside Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Following the event, Sklenar addressed the experience in the comments section of an E! News Instagram post. He revealed that he asked Lively if she would include Salviolo in a photo, noting that Salviolo was initially hesitant about participating. “Courtney was unsure if that was something she wanted to do,” Sklenar wrote. “I told her to let me know if she was comfortable with it and we would make it happen.”

He also responded to online criticism regarding his facial expressions in clips from the premiere. Sklenar described himself as a private person who is protective of his home life, explaining that his demeanor reflected anxiety and that chewing gum helped manage his nerves.

Recent Events and Lifestyle

The couple recently appeared together at the 2026 VMAs, where Sklenar debuted bleached hair. Despite his acting career, which includes playing Hassie Harrison’s rodeo cowboy ex-husband in the upcoming film The Rescue, Sklenar has emphasized his preference for domestic stability.

In a 2023 Forbes interview, Sklenar described filming his show 1923 in Africa as “jarring” and “emotionally challenging.” While expressing gratitude for the opportunity, he stated, “I’m a homebody—I love to be home with my partner and my dog and my house.” He acknowledged the irony of having a job that requires extensive travel while maintaining a strong desire for home life.

Salviolo has publicly expressed affection for their dog, Remy, on social media. A 2022 post referred to the pet as her “lifeline for the past 10+ years,” crediting him with providing comfort during spells of chronic pain.
