Greater than 20 years after they first met on the set of Disney’s Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz are engaged.
The couple every took to their social media accounts on July 1, 2022 to announce the pleased information, with 43-year-old Kountz writing on Instagram, “She mentioned sure‼️❤️ Gunna love you endlessly [Brown].”
Brown, 37, wrote on Instagram, “Have I launched you guys to my Fiancée [sic]? ☺️💍❤️ #isaidyes.”
Kountz met Brown within the early 2000s when he performed Kal, Brown’s on-screen persona Marnie Piper’s nemesis within the 2001 tv movie Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, but it surely wasn’t till 2018 that the couple confirmed they have been courting.
The couple informed E! Information in 2021 that the sparks flying between them once they reconnected in 2016 – when Brown approached Kountz to seem in a sketch for her YouTube channel – got here as a shock to each of them.
Though Kountz did attend Brown’s twentieth birthday celebration in 2004 they usually had saved tabs on one another by means of social media, previous to 2016, there had been no romance between them. When the couple first met throughout filming, Brown was solely 17, and Kountz was 22 and had a girlfriend.
Kountz informed the publication that he was shocked when he met Brown once more for the primary time in 2016 at a dinner to debate the sketch.
“Once I first noticed her when she walked in after we hadn’t seen one another endlessly, there was a particular shift and ‘Oh, you’ve got grown up,'” he informed the publication. “Like, ‘Oh okay, you are carrying heels, wow, have a look at that. You are like a fairly woman.'”
The duo haven’t dominated out reprising their roles within the franchise, although Kountz is now an actual property agent.
Brown, in the meantime, runs a YouTube channel, and has a TikTok and Etsy store devoted to Halloweentown.
She informed the publication of reprising her position: “I believe there is a ton of prospects in the event that they ever determined to go down that street once more.”
