In October 2019, Brunt announced her engagement to fellow England cricketer Nat Sciver.[35] They were scheduled to get married in September 2020, but their wedding was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[36] The couple eventually married in May 2022.[37] Both changed their last name to Sciver-Brunt when they married, and in January 2023 it was announced that the pair would both go by the name in all cricket-related instances.[38]
