Bella & Ryan

Carolina and Bella have known each other since 1995. They've lived together, fought and pulled each other's hair, yet they still love each other. Yep, that about sums up their relationship. Oh, and they happen to be sisters! Carolina currently lives in Dallas working for Southern Glazer's Wine division, and she would like everyone to know that although she is back living in Dallas, she does not live with her parents because she's a big girl now!

Andrea and Bella became best friends while slowly losing their minds working together at the Dr. Phil Show in 2016. Andrea currently continues to produce at the Dr. Phil Show and tries to keep the crazies off the street. This Minnesota-native now calls Los Angeles her home, along with her fiancé, Connor Murphy, and her Yorkshire Terrior, Oscar.

Heather and Bella met while chassèing across the dance floor at auditions for the John Paul II High School Cardinal Belles Drill Team in 2009. Heather recently moved back to Dallas after completing her studies at the University of Alabama and now spends her days saving lives as a nurse at Dallas' Baylor Hospital.

Ashley and Bella also met on their high school drill team in 2010. She, Bella and Heather were attached at the hip during the one year they danced together, before Ashley left for college, but their mutual love for movies of all kinds has left them inseparable. Ashley recently moved to crazy Austin, TX, from Plano just to teach hormonal fifth graders. Weird, huh? 

Katy and Bella first met on the set of Bella's first high school musical, Footloose, in 2008. When Katy and Bella aren't fan-girling over the Twilight franchise, Katy is either making her soon-to-be husband, Cameron Wilson, re-watch Twilight, or she's working in communications for a ministry within the Diocese of Dallas. 

Sarah was one of Bella's first friends at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, in 2012. Sarah has survived four Cabo Spring Breaks with Bella, which if you've partied in Cabo, you know it's a feat within itself. This Colorado-native is newly married to another Colorado-native, Neil Wada, and they continue to thrive in Los Angeles. Sarah now works as a manager in media strategy for iHeartMedia. 

Stephanie and Bella first bonded over eating their way through Florence, Italy, where they studied abroad and roomed together in 2013-2014. There were many crazy nights of drinking, laughing and crying that left them connected for life. Stephanie recently left Los Angeles with her long-time boyfriend, Clayton Mosbey, to experience a different, even crazier city: Miami. There she continues to travel the nation, as she works freelance as an event planner. 

Lexi and Bella's friendship goes way back to their early childhood--like kindergarten age. They grew up down the street from each other and spent their days exploring their neighborhood. Their college choices led them astray for a few years, but not to worry because they were reunited a mere three years when Lexi moved to Los Angeles to work as a Production Assistant at The Kennedy and Marshall Company. 

Paige and Bella have had a special bond since Bella was born. Not only are they cousins, but Paige and Bella also share the same birthday--although Paige claims to be older by two years. Paige has recently channeled her love for partying into a job and now works for Southern Glazer's Spirit division, while she resides in Dallas with her gorgeous black pug, Beyoncè. 

Ryan has known John all his life, maybe because he's his big brother. Ryan fondly remembers John being a very talented musician growing up. He can also fix just about anything, so if anything needs fixing, hit him up! John currently resides in Camden, Arkansas, and works very hard to provide a good life for not only himself, but also his 10 year old son, Hudson.

Ryan cannot remember a time when he didn't know Chase.  They grew up together and still remain very close friends. Chase couldn't bare to leave his college town of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and continues to live there with his lovely wife, Corbin Foster. Chase has always been a confident guy, so it's no surprise that he now works as an attorney in Fayetteville, Arkansas. 

Ryan and Kyle were friends before they were even born. Seriously, their mom's went to doctor's appointments together, while they were still in the womb. Kyle now works under his father, Richard, at Proctor's Funeral Home in Camden, Arkansas, but now he's also taking on his biggest task yet of being a father to his beautiful, new-born daughter, Savvy. 

Dakota and Ryan have a had a steady friendship, since their years playing pee wee football together in elementary school. Even after he moved, Dakota still came back to visit Ryan and his buddies.

Reid and Ryan became close friends when they became fraternity brothers for SAE at the University of Arkansas. Ryan always admired how fun and carefree Reid was, and they've remained friends all these years since graduation, although they live in different states. Reid recently moved from Chicago back to Fayetteville, where he continues to practice law. 

Shea and Ryan also became very good friends thanks to their brotherhood within SAE at the University of Arkansas. They even went on to be roommates for a couple years when they both moved to Dallas after college. Although Ryan left Shea stranded all of a sudden when he had the opportunity to move to California for work, Shea has been very successful. He's now living in Plano, TX, with his beautiful wife, Julie, as he continues to work in sales. 

Nathan and Ryan have quickly become best friends from living in the same apartment building, as he and his wife Shenny, to having their homes just a few minutes from one another. They bond over how crazy their wives are, sports and formula one. Yes, that does include Nathan coming over at 8am on the weekend just to watch some cars race. Nathan is Ryan’s number one fan, and you can catch him always wearing a shirt with Ryan’s face printed on it. Go Team Ryan!

Ryan first met Bella's crazy brother Max when he spent Christmas 2017 with the Loughborough's. Ryan and Max quickly found that they have more in common than they thought, and they've remained pretty close ever since. Max not only continues to finish his last year at the University of Arkansas, but he also co-owns an elite shoe and clothing store called Way Limited in Waco, TX. Ryan is excited to gain a brother-in-law. 

Although Bryce was a year older than Ryan, due to the nature of their small town of Camden, Arkansas, they became good friends at a young age and grew up together. Bryce now works in the food industry selling supplies to restaurants, as he continues living in Camden, Arkansas.

Although 12 years apart, Yancey and Bella were best friends first and then became step-sisters. Don't let her height fool you; she's still the baby of the family. While she may be the youngest, Yancey is one of the most talented and insightful artists you will ever meet. Seriously, ask her to show you some of her work. Yancey is in her last year of middle school at Prince of Peace Catholic School in Plano, TX, and cannot wait to expand her talents in high school. 

Hudson is Ryan's favorite nephew. He's a triple threat: he's kind, smart and very patient. Hudson is in 4th grade at Camden Fairview in Arkansas. He enjoys playing video games and dribbling the soccer ball in his free time. 

Liam, Max’s son, is the newest addition to the Loughborough family. Bella is so excited to finally be an aunt! Liam is the happiest little boy, and if you’re lucky he’ll flash you a smile walking down the aisle.

Hunter has always been Bella's favorite step-brother because he's so friendly and polite. When Hunter isn't attending high school at Jesuit in Dallas, TX, he's working on his swing and continuously defeating his step-dad on the golf course.  

Clayton and Bella first met in Florence, Italy, while studying abroad together at Pepperdine University. Clayton starred in a few of Bella's infamous music videos that they filmed while traveling throughout Italy, Paris and Prague.

He is thriving as he parties it up, prepares for a 100-mile bike race and continues to run his own digital marketing and analytical firm.

Will and Bella met their freshman year of college, where they bonded over their love of movies and TV in their freshman seminar called "Families in Primetime TV." Their relationship further grew when they studied abroad together the following year in Florence, Italy, where they really became inseparable. They did all the things best friends do: laugh, cry, get drunk and go skinny dipping in the Mediterranean together. Will continues to reside in Los Angeles, CA, with his longtime girlfriend, Jillian Selby, and their dog, Avery, who also happens to be Bella's goddaughter. 

Neil and Bella met through his now-wife, Sarah Barge. She still remembers the first time they met over giant frozen margaritas at Cabo Cantina. They were laughing endlessly the whole night, and it continues to be that way to this day. When Neil's not working as the assistant Vice President or private client Banker for JP Morgan in downtown Los Angeles, he's making sure his accident-prone wife Sarah is staying out of trouble.

Connor and Bella met a few years ago when Andrea, Connor's girlfriend, started working at Dr. Phil. He and Ryan then hit it off because they both happen to be graphic designers. He's one of those people that gets along with everyone. Bella's mom may or may not have a crush on him, haha. When he's not working, Connor, along with Andrea and their dog Oscar, enjoy exploring the best Los Angeles has to offer.

Jillian and Bella's friendship goes back to their college days when they were Gamma Phi Beta sisters. They became even closer when she started dating one of Bella's best friends, William Lawson. Together, they all have endless fun and laughs. There's never a dull moment when they all get together. When she's not busy keeping their dog Avery out of trouble, she's working hard as an analyst at Aerojet Rocketdyne in Woodland Hills, CA.

Taylor and Bella knew they’d be best friends forever when they shared endless laughs at the dinner table, along with Evee, when they studied abroad together at Pepperdine in Florence, Italy. They have shared countless laughs and memories ever since and continue to travel the world, sometimes just to visit each other. Although a California-native, Taylor continues to explore the wonders of the world and currently lives in Washington, D.C., where she nannies two very cute kids.

Evee and Bella had the inseparable bond of trying to pass their classes at Pepperdine with the constant distractions that come with studying abroad in the most magical city of Florence, Italy. Along with Taylor, Evee and Bella could spend hours just chatting and laughing. Evee has since moved back to Texas where she now calls Austin her home. She continues to study hard, as she is getting her graduate degree, while simultaneously working hard at 4-Horn Investments.

Shenny and Bella attended the same high school but did not become best friends, until this past year after Morgan introduced them to each other at the pool of the apartment complex they both lived at. Shenny and Bella, along with their husbands, had many wine and karaoke nights to push through the dreary COVID times. Shenny and Bella now have their own homes three minutes from one another in Plano. Needless to say, the wine and karaoke nights will continue for years to come!

Morgan and Bella have been great friends since elementary school. Even though she moved around a lot, their friendship has never wavered. Thanks to COVID, they got closer than ever. Morgan just moved back to Dallas and now lives down the street from Bella, so weekly hang outs are a must! Morgan definitely brings the party girl out in Bella! Morgan and her boyfriend, Heff, will be the life of the party, and if you’re not careful, you may be a target of her vodka squirt gun!

Nikki and Bella have been close friends since elementary school, where they played basketball together, had many a late-night sleepovers and endless laughter at the lake. Nikki is also a fellow COVID bride. Nikki and her husband, Alex, have been making the transition to moving back to the Dallas area, after having lived in Northern California for a couple years for work. Bella and her mom are currently trying to find the perfect home for the Cunningham’s, so they can officially make the transition back to Dallas! Just don’t tell Alex we’re doing this.

Julie and Bella first met in high school, when they were in student council together, but it wasn't until they discovered their husband's are best friends that they naturally became best friends as well. Julie also attended the University of Arkansas, along with Ryan. Even their dogs are best friends! It's hard for Bella and Ryan to miss living in Los Angeles with these two living in Plano.
