Did Tyler Stanaland cheat on Brittany Snow with Alex Hall?
Did Tyler Stanaland cheat on Brittany Snow with Alex Hall? The answer is no, according to him. In an interview on the “Reality Life With Kate Casey” podcast in 2022, Tyler explained that his Selling The OC co-star, Kayla Cardona, trying to kiss him during Season 1 led him to “set some hard lines and some boundaries and reconsider the social environment a bit” of the show.
He also denied there was any romantic relationship between him and Hall while he was married to Brittany, despite Hall sitting on his lap and giving him her version of a wet willy. “We’re all really tight friends,” he said. “There’s a respect; no lines will ever be crossed. Most of us are married or dating somebody, so there is kind of a set boundary there.” He continued, “It’s just a funny thing to do, and we’re a very tactile, touchy-feely group. It’s nothing sexual.”
Hall, for her part, also denied a romantic relationship with Tyler while he was still married to Brittany in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2022, in which she explained that her and Tyler’s “noseys”—their version of a wet willy in which one person covers the other’s person’s nose with their mother and blows air into the receiver’s face—was completely platonic.
“Most people have never seen that before,” Hall said. “So a nosey is, it’s not a sexual act whatsoever. It started with my mom doing it to our family dog, if you will. This is how disgusting it is. And then it graduated to doing it to us, her children. Now I do it to my kids. It’s just a funny thing to do, and we’re a very tactile, touchy feely group.”
She continued, “It’s nothing sexual. You’re not like, ‘Oh, I want to f—k you. Let me put my wet finger in your ear.’ No, you’re like, ‘Ew.’ It’s teasing. It’s just a teasy type thing. And the irony there is that Jarvis, again, wasn’t at the beach when that happened. And it happened multiple times. It wasn’t just at the beach. I mean, we have a couple of drinks. We just start… we’re silly.”
Hall also told Entertainment Tonight at the time that she had “no interest in Tyler” and denied comparisons to her and Kayla. “I adore him, I think he is the sweetest thing,” she says. “Do I think he needs to get a little bit more of a backbone? Absolutely. And I’ve had that conversation with him, but he kind of just wants to please everybody. You kind of see that. He’s just a nice guy. Nope. No interest in Tyler whatsoever,” she said.” And the difference there, between what I had done and what Kayla had done, which was not try to kiss Tyler. She tried to have sex with him on multiple occasions, and made him very uncomfortable. And he had asked her to stop multiple times. She didn’t. She continued. And with our situation, to me, there’s just no comparison. There’s really just no comparison.”
Hall also defended her behavior with Tyler while he was still married to Brittany in an interview with Page Six in 2022. “I don’t really have regrets because I, I would do it again,” she said at the time. When asked specifically about a scene where she and Tyler cuddled on the beach, Hall responded, “I don’t regret that. And anything that I did — that I have done on the show that people see — I don’t regret any of it.”
Hall did, however, admit to Page Six that “apologies have taken place,” confirming that she was “good” with Brittany prior to Tyler’s divorce from his ex-wife. “We went to his birthday party and — which Kayla wasn’t even invited to, if that kind of tells you where that stands — so I’m good with his wife,” Hall said, adding that she and Tyler were just “very good friends.” She continued, “The intention was always pure.”
Tyler and Hall first sparked dating rumors in September 2022 after they were photographed on what looked like a date at SOTA Sushi in Corona Del Mar, California, the same month Snow announced her divorce from Tyler. “Although Tyler and Alex spend time together and are very flirty, they aren’t a couple,” a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “Tyler is going through a breakup and isn’t focused on dating right now. Alex has been a good friend to Tyler. He’s been upset with everything that’s happened with his marriage and he’s leaning on friends like Alex to help him during this time.”
Brittany opened up about how she felt about the situation on the March 27, 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy.”I did not know what was going on,” “I think as someone who is so hands-on with my career, I was just completely shocked that I didn’t have a handle on reality in that way. That was shocking.”
On the kiss from the season finale, she said, “Of course I saw it—I watched it with my dog. What people think happened, happened—now I can laugh about it. It’s insane and it’s so funny.”
She looked back on her relationship: “There was love there,” she added. “There was a marriage there. There was so much love. I think that gray is hard to understand because it’s much more salacious and interesting that it’s just ‘he did this’ and ‘she did this’ and that’s what I would want to put out there. I think a lot of people go into relationships where someone hurts them but I don’t regret it. I don’t regret anything that happened because I loved that time when we had it.”
