Canon

Tormund and Brienne first meet in Season 6, Episode 4, when Brienne escorts Sansa Stark to Castle Black so she can be reunited with her brother Jon Snow. Tormund seems to have been instantly smitten with Brienne, and tries to telegraph his attraction by throwing her longing looks across the dinner table.[1] Brienne seems uncomfortable and not sure how to handle this attention. Tormund's infatuation with Brienne continues through Season 6 and Season 7.
