Comedian Melanie Bracewell has captured hearts across the country with her engaging performances and sharp wit.
Hailing from New Zealand, Melanie has made a name for herself in the comedy scene for her work on shows like Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Project, as well as her current co-hosting gig on The Cheap Seats.
Her personal life has also garnered significant attention as she continues to rise in the entertainment industry; however, Melanie tends to keep her romantic life relatively private.
Does Melanie Bracewell have a partner?
Melanie is in a relationship with Shaun McCullough, who works as a researcher/clip finder on The Cheap Seats.
The two first met during a high school production of The Jungle Book, but didn’t start dating until 2020.
“I guess it was post-pandemic and you look within your 5km radius and go, ‘Yep – you’ll do,’” she told our sister publication TV Week.
“He’s incredible and the most supportive person always. Like, I’ve got gigs on, he’s making my HelloFresh – it’s a match made in heaven.”
In November 2025, Melanie thrilled her fans by announcing that she and Shaun were engaged.
“15 years of friendship, 5 years of the best relationship of my life. I hope we aren’t rushing into this,” the star quipped to her 239,000 Instagram followers.
“Baloo the Bear and Ka the Snake from the 2012 Birkenhead College Production of “The Jungle Book” are getting married.”
Melanie rarely posts about her relationship and has only talked about her partner a handful of times.
However, one of her comedy shows, titled Forget Me Not, was written about her boyfriend…
“He had short-term memory loss in the first six months we were dating. If we played basketball together, later that day he’d be saying, ‘Why am I thinking about basketball?’” she revealed to Stuff.
“The show is about moving over here with him, trying to figure out what was wrong. It was heavy at the time, but we talked through it together and have managed to find the comedy.”
