My New Fiancé is No Fixer-Upper!!!
Published
HGTV star Leslie Davis blindsided fans when she dropped an engagement bombshell this week … no one knew she’d been divorced for years … and now she’s giving a more detailed timeline.
Leslie announced Wednesday she was engaged to Don Reidy, leading to all sorts of question about her prior marriage to Jacob Davis.
In a blog post Friday, Leslie says she and Jacob split in 2022 and kept the divorce private to protect their family and make it easier to raise their three sons … Kyler, Cash, and Cole.
Leslie says … “Okay…Okay… I know what you are all saying… ‘I didn’t even know you were divorced?’ Well, 1,000+ social media comments later, you all have a lot of questions.”
She explains … “I have chosen to keep this part of my personal life private, a hard thing to do as someone with a show on HGTV. You may know my ex-husband, Jacob, my kids’ rockstar of a dad, from previous seasons of Unsellable Houses; however, he has typically chosen to stay out of the public eye.”
Court documents, obtained by TMZ, show the divorce was finalized in 2024.
Leslie says … “Jacob and I will always share love for each other, just now in a new way, we have learned to become the best teammates, to lean on each other, to support each other’s new adventures, and always put our boys first.”
She adds … “With lots of changes, our priority was to always protect our family, which is why I have kept this part of my life private. And seriously, who even announces a divorce anyway LOL!”
Leslie met her new fiancé Don while filming “Rock the Block” season 5 in Florida. Don appeared on the HGTV show as a carpenter. She says they became friends, stayed in touch after the show, started dating, and then he moved to Washington to be with her.
