Comedian Shane Gillis and social media influencer Grace Brassel publicly confirmed their relationship in July 2024 through a TikTok video. The couple later went their separate ways in 2025, according to sources close to them.
The pair were first linked after being spotted together at NFL player Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo's wedding in Rhode Island in late June 2024. Initially, they did not comment on their relationship, but later that month they confirmed their romance online.
In December 2024, Brassel mentioned Gillis in another TikTok video, affectionately referring to him as:
"the best comedian in the whole wide world."
Throughout their time together, Brassel occasionally gave followers glimpses into their relationship, while Gillis maintained a more private approach regarding his personal life.
By November 2025, a source told PEOPLE that Gillis and Brassel had broken up "a number of months ago." Their split marked the end of the relationship that had captured attention across social platforms.
