Britt Lower, fresh off her first Emmy win, stepped onto the 2026 Critics Choice Awards red carpet with the man who has quietly stood beside her through awards season: husband Kenna Kennor. The couple, who tied the knot in 2024, have kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight while blending their personal and professional lives in New York City.
From Hairstylist to Husband
Kennor’s career began at 18 when he started cutting hair. His portfolio spans advertising, editorial, and global magazine covers including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and Elle.
The pair met when Kennor was booked to style Lower’s hair for an Emmy Awards ceremony. While the exact start of their romance remains undisclosed, photographers captured them together at the January 10, 2023, Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.
Even after their relationship turned romantic, Kennor continued to work on his future wife’s hair. In January 2025, he created her look for both a New York Times feature and the Lanvin show at Paris Fashion Week.
Private Vows, Public Support
The actress never announced her wedding, but The Hollywood Reporter confirmed in August 2025 that the two had married the previous year. Lower later explained her preference for privacy, telling the same outlet, “In the spirit of Severance, I do like to keep my private life separate.”
Despite that stance, she offered a rare glimpse into their home life during a December 2025 interview with News Of Losangeles, describing an “annual Christmas pageant” the couple hosts. She called the holiday her “favorite time of the year,” noting they begin decorating in November.
Family Life in Brooklyn
Kennor arrived at the relationship with two children from a previous partner. Lower’s official website states she lives in Brooklyn with Kennor and her two stepchildren. The family expanded in 2025 when they adopted rescue dogs Bow-Tie and Vinny.
When Lower claimed the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series trophy at the 77th Emmy Awards in September 2025, she thanked Kennor onstage: “Thank you to my mom and my dad, my brother, my husband, our kids, our co-parents, our chosen family. I love you so much. Thank you for this, and thank you for choosing me.”
Business and Red-Carpet Moments
Kennor founded Kennaland, an “anti-salon” located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. After 14 years in the industry, he opened Kennaland London in 2004, followed by the Brooklyn location in 2012 initially as a production studio. The space transitioned into a salon in 2014.
The couple have appeared together at multiple industry events:
- January 10, 2023 – Golden Globe Awards
- September 14, 2025 – Apple TV Emmy Awards Celebration
- January 4, 2026 – 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards
At the most recent Critics Choice Awards, Lower wore a white Bottega Veneta ensemble featuring a feathery open-backed top and cream pants, while Kennor chose a mauve suit jacket, white shirt, black pants, and neutral hat.
Lower entered the 2026 awards circuit with nominations for:
- Critics Choice Award – Best Actress in a Drama Series (award went to Rhea Seehorn for Pluribus)
- Golden Globe – Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series Drama (ceremony scheduled for January 11, 2026)
