LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Zachery Tyler "Ty" Bryan, a former child star and now a film producer, is best known for his role as Brad Taylor on 'Home Improvement'. On May 12, 2023, just days before Mother's Day, he and his fiancee received a special present. 

The 'Thor: Hammer Of The Gods' actor shared a hospital pic of himself in scrubs and a mask on his Instagram as his fiancee, Johnnie Faye, cradled their babies. Zachery happily announced the birth of their twins and gave more information in the caption.

‘God’s work’

Tyler said that their twins' arrival at 9.04 and 9.07 am on May 14 provided the "best" Mother's Day weekend gift for them. The actor announced that Parker Lee Bryan and Sequoia Lynn Bryan, who weighed 5.1 pounds and 4.7 pounds respectively, were his offspring.



 

He mentioned how "ecstatic" they were to have twins and how his fiancee was healthy and loving their new children. Zachery wished a Happy Mother's Day to his partner, his mother Jenny Bryan, and all the mothers who did "God's work" before emphasizing how much they were valued.

An arrest and a divorce

Despite his acting success, things started to go south after the series. The newborns are his second set of twins. Before he began to appreciate fatherhood as he does now, Zachery lived a chaotic life. When he finished playing the eldest son on "Home Improvement," he seemed to be becoming more famous, but things quickly slowed down. 

The actor who played Tim Allen's eldest son was imprisoned in October 2020 for allegedly assaulting his then-girlfriend. After locals in Eugene, Oregon called the police to report an altercation at an apartment, the celebrity was taken into custody.

According to an inquiry, the actor and the victim, who he was dating, got into a fight and things allegedly turned physical. The alleged crime took place two weeks after he announced his divorce from his wife of 13 years, Carly Matros. Due to his role in the domestic violence case, he was sentenced to three years of probation and had to agree not to get in touch with the victim. 

Prior to being married in 2007, Zachery and Matros met while they were students at La Caada High School. Taylor Simone and Gemma Rae Bryan, the actor's twin daughters with Matros, were born in 2014. Together, they had four children. Bryan and Matros divorced in September 2020 after 14 years of marriage.
