After 2 years of marriage, Brittany Snow and Tyler Stanaland sent shockwaves through Hollywood when they announced their separation in September 2022. This happened amid the drama between Tyler and his Selling The OC co-star Kayla Cardona.
So what exactly went wrong?
Why Did Brittany and Tyler Split?
Brittany Snow divorced Tyler Stanaland because he allegedly cheated on her. According to several reports, Tyler engaged in flirtatious behavior with several female co-stars from season 1 of Selling the OC. The most notable of those was Kayla Cardona, with whom Tyler allegedly shared a kiss offscreen.
In March 2024, on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alexandra Cooper, Brittany spoke about her decision to divorce Tyler. Indirectly confirming the rumors of Tyler cheating on her, Snow revealed,
“What people think happened, happened! They messed up… I had instincts but because I was in love I didn’t trust them”.

Selling the OC viewers were the first to notice that Tyler was a favorite amongst all the ladies on the show. One fan commented on Reddit,
“…Tyler might be the worst of all honestly, he’s like a ciper and seems to have no personality or opinions, but you can tell all the women in the office just like him because he’s hot.”
Shortly after social media started buzzing with rumors of Tyler being unfaithful to his wife, Brittany Snow announced the split on her Instagram story. She wrote,
“After time and consideration, Tyler and I have made the difficult decision to separate. This decision was made with love and mutual respect”.
The couple kept their private lives under wraps for months after the separation announcement. Finally, in January 2023, Brittany filed for divorce from Tyler. But that wasn’t the end of their story.
