Who is the long-term partner of Christopher Briney, known as Isabel Machado?
Isabel Machado, a multi-talented artist, made a stylish appearance at the 2025 US Open. Known for her roles in productions like "O รltimo Banho", "Verdade ou Consequรชncia?", and "Lura", Machado graced the event alongside her boyfriend, Christopher Briney.
Born in Chicago, Machado moved to New York City after attending Pace University, where she graduated with a BFA in acting in 2020. Her training in ballet, jazz, and modern dance, as well as her vocal abilities as a first soprano, have been showcased in various theatre productions, including "Anne of Green Gables", "The Art of Peaking Too Soon", and "If We Were Birds".
Machado's acting career has also extended to the big screen, with appearances in films such as "Akron" and the short film Reasons to be Pretty, which she collaborated on with her boyfriend in 2021.
On the red carpet, Machado caught the eye in a low-cut denim Ralph Lauren maxi dress, brown sandals, and a yellow purse. Briney complemented her look in white linen pants, a vest, blue tie, and striped jacket. However, not everyone was impressed with their outfits, as some online commentators offered mixed reactions.
Among the critics was Raquel Debono, an influencer and creator of Make America Hot Again. Debono took issue with Machado's yellow bag, calling it "ugly", and the sandals "grandma shoes". She also criticised Briney's black "man purse". Debono even compared Briney's character on TSITP (The Summer I Turned Pretty) to his real-life actions.
Despite the criticism, many fans praised Machado and Briney, dubbing them the "hottest couple" at the event. The pair, who have been together for four years, often attend glamorous premieres and fashion events together.
Machado's versatility as an artist extends beyond acting and singing. She plays the piano and showcased her talents in a production of Hairspray. With her talent, charm, and undeniable star power, Isabel Machado continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen.
