Brittany Force has taken the world of drag racing by storm. The Top Fuel world champion, who is the daughter of famed NHRA drag racer John Force, is currently in Indianapolis looking to clinch her first U.S. Nationals victory.
She’s competing at the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals over Labor Day weekend, so Swooon is taking a look at Force’s personal life. Who is the 39-year-old drag racer married to? Here’s the rundown of what we know about Brittany Force’s current relationship status.
Is Brittany Force in a relationship?
Yes, the drag racer is married to Bobby Lyons. The couple married on November 11, 2024, at the Los Angeles County Courthouse.
Just a few weeks later, the newlyweds had a second wedding that was a much larger celebration with family and friends. In March 2025, Force shared breathtaking photos from her second ceremony. “After the rain stopped and the sun came out, Bobby and I said our vows to each other on a family ranch tucked away in the hills of Northern California,” her Instagram post began. “We were surrounded by seventy- nine of our closest friends and family. We smiled, and we laughed. We stayed present in every moment. And each moment, was just as precious to us, as the last.”
She added, “This day I will treasure forever. Thank you for asking me to marry you. Thank you for being the one. Thank you for the most perfect day.”
