So, who was Bret Engemann's first wife?
Once upon a time in Salt Lake City, Bret was a Brigham Young University quarterback according to The Salt Lake Tribune . Then, he was married to Angie Harrington , whom you might recall was a part-time cast member of RHOSLC .
As Angie said in 2023, “I had a very public divorce in Utah Valley. And my ex-husband was kind of the golden boy of Provo. So that prepared me for reality television.”
She added that the split was “extremely challenging, but it gave me very, very, very thick skin. But it still hurts to be misunderstood and misrepresented. It’s still hard.”
Meanwhile, Angie has moved on and remarried since her divorce from Bret.
And it's worth noting that Bret is not Demi's first husband either. While Bret was briefly wed to another woman, the Hulu star was previously betrothed to Blake.
Bret Engemann and Angie Harrington were "having babies" when Demi was 9 years old.
Angie and Blake share two teenage sons, Cole, 15, and Rome, 19.
It's worth noting that Demi, the boys' stepmom, is only 11 years older than Rome.
The new reality star has talked openly about the age difference between her and Bret.
"There has been a lot of controversy around our relationship," Demi admits in a TikTok video, going on to say, "If you don't know, my husband and I are 16 years apart."
"When I was 9 years old, he was married to his first wife and having babies," Demi admits after sharing that she knew Bret growing up through a family friend.
Demi admits she had "a little girl crush" on Bret, but claims he only started following her on Instagram once she turned 18.
Ultimately, their relationship has been the subject of rumors all along, with Demi and Bret starting to date while she and Blake, who share a son, were separated, and Bret had been cast on The Bachelorette .
After being labeled as "cheaters," the two finally got married — and it seems all is well that ends well!
In fact, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives couple openly gushes about their love for one another on social media and co-parent their three kids together.
