The This Is Usstar revealed during the COVID-19 pandemic that she’s got a new love and she couldn’t be happier. The actress and singer, who previously dated composer Hal Rosenfeld and cameraman Josh Stancil, found romance in 2020 with boyfriend BradleyCollins, and as of January 2022—when This Is Us premiered its sixth and final season (sniff!), the couple are still blissfully and adorably happy. That said, it wasn’t necessarily an easy road. The 41-year-old Metz revealed on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy that she kept her dating app profiles pretty vague about her identity and work “because I thought it sort of weeds out the people who want to maybe talk to me for any other reason than a genuine reason.” She added, “I do remember seeing a guy’s picture and he was an aspiring writer and he had a This Is Us coffee cup and I was like, ‘Oh, I can’t, I can’t. That would just be too weird.’ And then I was like, ‘Oh, that’s sweet. But, like, I can’t.’” So how did her current love story come to pass?
