HGTV star Leslie Davis announces surprise engagement — and fans are left asking questions

HGTV viewers are doing a double take after Leslie Davis shared a life update that surprised many fans.

The Unsellable Houses star revealed that she is engaged to her Rock the Block colleague Don Reidy, who has worked as a carpenter on multiple HGTV series. She announced the news in an Instagram post that immediately sparked both congratulations, and confusion, among fans.

A Snowy Proposal — and a Big Reveal

Davis shared that Reidy proposed during a snowmobile trip in Leavenworth, Washington State, with her three sons present for the moment. In a heartfelt Instagram carousel posted January 14, she referred to Reidy as her “person” and reflected on how their connection grew while working together on HGTV’s Rock the Block.

“Turns out Rock the Block gave me a win in more than one way,” she wrote.
“Somewhere between sunup-to-sundown chaos and lots of laughs, I found my person.”

She added, “Don, you are my safe place, my teammate, and my favorite adventure buddy.”

Fans Celebrate — But Ask: “Did I Miss Something?”

While many followers rushed to congratulate the couple, the comments section quickly filled with questions about Davis’ past relationship with her high school sweetheart Jacob Davis, with whom she shares three children.

“I’m so confused. I thought you both were married already. When did you get divorced?” one fan wrote.
Another echoed, “Ditto, I’m confused too. But congratulations on your engagement.”

Several commenters admitted they had to reread the announcement, noting they hadn’t realized Davis was divorced, while others emphasized that her happiness mattered most.

“As long as you are happy,” one supporter added.

Davis has not publicly shared details about the end of that relationship, keeping that chapter of her life private.

From Co-Stars to Life Partners

Reidy has appeared as a carpenter on multiple HGTV series, and Davis previously competed on Rock the Block alongside her twin sister Lyndsay Lamb. The sisters competed on Seasons 3 and 5 of the competition, winning the latter.

Together, Davis and Lamb host Unsellable Houses, helping homeowners across the Pacific Northwest renovate and sell their properties quickly, a dynamic built on decades of trust and teamwork.

“We had each other’s backs,” Davis previously said of working with her sister. “There’s not another human being in this world I could have done this with besides her.”

A New Chapter — On Her Own Terms

For now, Davis appears focused on celebrating her engagement and the new chapter ahead. While questions linger about the timeline, her post made one thing clear: she’s embracing the future with confidence.

And judging by the smiles in those snowy photos, this unexpected announcement is one she’s more than ready to stand by.
