Brennan has been acting in Hallmark movies for well over a decade and frequently stars with Lacey Chabert.

Chabert and Elliott’s Hallmark collaboration dates all the way back to 2015 when she starred opposite him in the romance All My Heart, which became a successful trilogy.
‘She is a great friend, and collaborating with her on screen has been one of the most treasured and impactful joys of my career,’ he said in an interview with TV Insider.
Brennan has always been outspoken about how much he love and adores his wife.
‘I couldn’t do what I do without her. She’s the bedrock of our family,’ he said in a 2018 interview with My Devotional Thoughts.
‘She is the one who takes care of our children whenever I’m filming, and without her, I don’t know where I’d be,’ the happy husband said at the time.
