Fans of HGTV star Leslie Davis have been left both delighted and bewildered after the Unsellable Houses presenter announced her surprise engagement to fellow network personality Don Reidy. The real estate agent shared the news on January 14, revealing Reidy proposed during a snowy adventure in front of her three sons.
A Snowy Proposal and a 'Safe Place' Found
Davis took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos celebrating her relationship with Reidy, a carpenter who has worked on multiple HGTV series. She described the moment her now-fiancé popped the question during a snowmobile ride in Leavenworth, Washington State.
In her heartfelt caption, the television host referred to Reidy as her "person," writing: "Turns out Rock the Block gave me a win in more than one way." She added, "Somewhere between sunup-to-sundown chaos and lots of laughs, I found my person. Don, you are my safe place, my teammate, and my favourite adventure buddy."
Fan Confusion Over Previous Marriage
While congratulations poured in, a significant number of commenters expressed confusion, as many fans believed Davis was still married to her high school sweetheart, Jacob Davis. The pair share three children together.
One fan commented: "I'm so confused. I thought you both were married already. When did you get divorced? Doesn't matter at this point congratulations on your new love." This sentiment was echoed widely, with others stating they had to re-read the announcement, unaware of any divorce.
Davis has not publicly shared details regarding the end of her previous marriage. The engagement news served as the first indication for many followers that her marital status had changed.
HGTV Success and Twin Partnership
Leslie Davis is best known for co-hosting the popular HGTV series Unsellable Houses with her twin sister, Lyndsay Lamb. The duo specialises in helping homeowners in the Pacific Northwest renovate their properties to sell quickly.
Their expertise was showcased on the competition series Rock the Block, where the twins participated in the third and fifth seasons, emerging victorious in the latter. Reflecting on the intense win, Davis told HGTV: "It was so much work. We were so proud of ourselves, but I don't know if we've ever been that exhausted."
She credited her unique bond with her sister for their success, noting their ability to process disagreements rapidly and move forward, a dynamic she contrasted with that of typical spouses.
The engagement marks a new personal chapter for Davis, who has found love with a colleague from the same competitive environment that cemented her professional reputation. While questions about her past remain, the focus for now is on her future happiness with her new fiancé.
