Andrea Thoma, who is of Kadazan descent, holds dual Malaysian-American nationality. Born in Malaysia 33 years ago, she was raised in the United States. Andrea pursued higher education at Kent State University, where she earned a degree in exercise physiology about a decade ago. She later advanced her studies by obtaining a doctorate in Physical Therapy from Old Dominion University.
During her academic journey, Andrea gained hands-on experience working as a physical therapist and has since established herself professionally in California. With years of practice under her belt, she has accumulated significant expertise in her field. Beyond her professional life, Andrea is also active on social media; she boasts over 300k followers on Instagram. However, it was her engagement to Grant Gustin—an American actor and singer—that truly catapulted her into the public eye.
The Beginning of Andrea’s Relationship with Grant Gustin
Before meeting Grant Gustin, Andrea Thoma had been involved in other relationships that didn’t quite compare to what she found with the Norfolk-born actor and singer. Their love story began early in 2017 after they crossed paths at a dinner party organized by the Sabah Tourism Board late the previous year.

A Proposal Filled with Laughter
The couple’s wedding plans started taking shape about a year after their initial meeting when Grant decided to propose during his time filming a movie in Costa Rica—a plan that unfortunately fell through due to production delays.
Undeterred by this setback, Grant proposed to Andrea mid-2017 with an elegant round diamond ring. To his surprise—and perhaps slight confusion—Andrea responded not immediately with words but laughter! Despite this unexpected reaction, she eventually said “Yes,” sealing their engagement joyfully shared on Instagram along with glimpses of the ring and hints about their upcoming wedding plans.
Enjoying Engagement Before Tying the Knot
Their engagement period extended for two years before they finally tied the knot—a decision that seemed intentional as they took time to savor each other’s company before making things official. In an interview during this period, Grant mentioned feeling married already from the moment Andrea accepted his proposal; for him, their eventual ceremony was more symbolic than anything else.
A Simple Yet Romantic Wedding Celebrated Twice
When it came time for their wedding day(s), simplicity and intimacy were key themes for both ceremonies held by Andrea Thoma and Grant Gustin—the first being at The Valentine venue located within Los Angeles’ historic district dating back nearly 100 years ago (built-in 1920s). Surrounded only by close family members alongside some notable friends including Adam Kaplan & Ben Ross among others from Hollywood circles like Chris Wood or Melissa Benoist—they kept guest numbers limited reflecting how much privacy matters most within these moments shared together privately rather than publicly displayed across social media platforms etcetera…
Rumors circulated suggesting another possible marriage ceremony happening overseas specifically within Malaysia given where part origins lie regarding heritage background belonging towards wife-to-be herself yet truth revealed instead merely visiting relatives while there performing traditional rituals meant appeasing gods ancestors according Kadazan customs which might’ve appeared similar enough resembling actual nuptials though wasn’t case whatsoever according clarification provided via Instagram post made directly afterward explaining everything clearly so no misunderstandings arose further down line either way!
Grant expressed how meaningful it felt connecting spiritually through such experiences despite not being formalized legally speaking until later date back home stateside once returned safely thereafter completing trip abroad successfully without incident thankfully too!
