HGTV star Leslie Davis has confirmed her divorce after fans were left confused by a recent post she shared.
Confusion about the 42-year-old Unsellable Houses star‘s marital status came after her announcement earlier in the week that she is engaged to Don Reidy.
After tons of fans stormed her social media, Davis shared a blog post on Friday, January 16, confirming she was divorced from her ex-husband Jacob, with whom she shares sons Kyler, Cash, and Cole. She added that the divorce occurred in 2022 but wasn’t made public.
“Okay…Okay… I know what you are all saying… ‘I didn’t even know you were divorced!'” Davis wrote after she was inundated with fans questioning what happened to her first husband.
“Well, 1,000+ social media comments later, you all have a lot of questions. I have chosen to keep this part of my personal life private, a hard thing to do as someone with a show on HGTV.”
The show host went on to praise Jacob as a “rockstar a of dad” in the blog post titled Leslie’s Life Update and noted he’s always preferred staying out of the spotlight.
Davis went on to write that she and Jacob’s divorce in 2022 was a “very tough but right decision” for their family.
“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,” Davis continued in her post.
“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!”
Davis announced her engagement to Reidy via Instagram on Wednesday, January 14. “SURPRISE! Don popped the question during a snowy Leavenworth [Wash.] snowmobile ride, joined by all three of my boys, which made it even more perfect,” she wrote.

“Turns out Rock the Block gave me a win in more than one way. Somewhere between sunup-to-sundown chaos and lots of laughs, I found my person. Don, you are my safe place, my teammate, and my favorite adventure buddy,” she added.
“What started as a friendship during one of the wildest experiences of my life turned into true love. We were in it together then… and now we’re in it together forever. Still smiling. Still shocked. Still so excited for this next chapter.”
Leslie shared more about her relationship with Reidy via her blog post, explaining she met him while filming HGTV’s Rock The Block.
“Don and I met while my sis, Lyndsay, and I were in Florida filming for Rock The Block Season 5. Don was one of the contractors working tirelessly on our house, making it #TWINWIN worthy! Through the stressful days, endless hours, and lots of laughs in between, we became best friends and continued to stay in touch post-filming,” she wrote.
“Don was living in Colorado and working on other HGTV favorites, while I was wrapping up filming Unsellable Houses season 5 here in Snohomish, but we made an effort to keep our friendship growing.
“With hundreds of FaceTime calls that turned into dates and quick weekend trips to see each other, it was clear we were more than friends.”
Reidy ultimately relocated to Washington a year into their relationship and proposed over the holidays.
