Brandon Frazier, 32, is from Phoenix, Arizona and has had a lifelong love for skating. From 1998 through 2004, he was a competitive roller skater. Shortly after, he switched to ice skating. He earned a gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. According to his Instagram bio, he now pursues a career in finance and wealth management. In his freetime, he enjoys golfing.

Mariah Bell, 30, hails from Tulsa, Oklahoma. While her record is quite impressive, she isn’t the only figure skater in the family. Her older sister has skated with Disney on Ice.

Fans have enjoyed following the couple on social media and seeing their love and devotion to one another unfold.

“Mariah, thank you for always putting up with Chowder and I,” Frazier penned a sweet tribute to Bell on her birthday this year. “More importantly thank you for being you.”

“You not only get me through the tough days but you bring nothing but love and adventure in my life and it does not need to be your birthday to celebrate how amazing you truly are. Happy 30th Birthday my love, ❤️” he added.
