Who Is Carol Burnett's Husband, Brian Miller?

Carol Burnett is 23 years older than her third husband, Brian Miller, and she often credits that age difference for giving her a long and enduring marriage. She told People back in 2010, "He's funny and not easily intimidated. As we get older, the gap between our ages narrows. If you were 40 and married a 20-year-old, I don't think you could communicate like [we do]."

When Burnett and Miller met, they were working together on the same project, according to AmmoMama. It was 1993 and Burnett was appearing in a musical in Long Beach, CA. Miller was the person who hired the show's musicians.

The pair would hang out after rehearsals and shows with the rest of the cast and crew, but it was a few years later when they started dating. They ran into each other at the mall, AmmoMama reports, and the rest is history.

In 2020, Burnett and Miller entered a new chapter in their lives and took on parenthood again when they were granted temporary custody of Burnett's grandson, Dylan West. His mother, Erin Hamilton, had been struggling with drug addiction and Burnett and Miller chose to take in the boy for the sake of his mental health, according to USA Today.
