The couple first met at Kristin’s niece’s wedding in 2016 when Josh was playing in a band called Backroad Anthem. One year later they bumped into each other again, this time at Kirstin's nephew's wedding where Josh was playing in the same band.
"We were both dating somebody else [at the time]," she said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in 2020. "And my nephew got married a year later and he was playing again and so we re-met."
They started dating in 2018 and made their red carpet debut as a couple a year later at PaleyLive LA's Evening With Kristin Chenoweth event in Beverly Hills, California.
This will mark Kristin's first marriage following a failed engagement to fellow Broadway performer Marc Kudisch, whom she dated from 1998 to 2001.
