<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/strong>, Cash<\/strong>, and Cole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Leslie says … “Okay\u2026Okay\u2026 I know what you are all saying\u2026 ‘I didn’t even know you were divorced?’ Well, 1,000+ social media comments later, you all have a lot of questions.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/em>; however, he has typically chosen to stay out of the public eye.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Court documents, obtained by TMZ, show the divorce was finalized in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

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\u2019s new adventures, and always put our boys first.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

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!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Leslie met her new fianc\u00e9 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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
