Fans were left confused after HGTV star Leslie Davis announced her engagement to Don Reidy, whom she met on season five of *Rock the Block*. The TV personality took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that Don had popped the question while the couple were on a snowmobile ride in Leavenworth, Washington.
“Turns out *Rock the Block* gave me a win in more than one way,” she began in the caption. “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. What started as a friendship during one of the wildest experiences of my life turned into true love. We were in it together then ever!”
Despite the joyous news, many fans were confused by the engagement announcement, as they believed Leslie was still married to her husband, Jacob Davis.
One fan commented, “I’m so confused. I thought you both were married already. When did you get divorced?” Another added, “Did I miss something? I thought you were married for many years.”
A third follower exclaimed, “I thought you were married. I got lost somewhere along the way. Congrats!” while another shared, “Wow! Didn’t know you got divorced, nor about a new guy. Congrats and best wishes!”
Leslie was previously married to her high school sweetheart, Jacob Davis, with whom she shares three sons: Kyler, Cash, and Cole. The *Unsellable Houses* star has been incredibly private about her marriage in the past, only sharing sparse details about Jacob, who is an engineer and operations manager.
Leslie and Jacob met at Snohomish High School in Washington, the same school where Leslie’s sister Lyndsay met her husband, Justin Lamb. Interestingly, Jacob and Justin were reportedly roommates in college before marrying the twin sisters.
While Leslie has rarely spoken about Jacob in public, her sister Lyndsay once revealed a quirky habit Leslie has that Jacob didn’t particularly like.
“I redecorate and change my style probably six times a year,” Lyndsay told *Herald Net*. “I put all my decor pieces on my dining room table from every room, then I put them in different rooms. It gives everything a fresh look without having to spend money on new stuff. You’d never know if you didn’t pick it up and move it. I do it at Leslie’s house quite often. It drives her husband crazy.”
In a rare blog post from 2021, Leslie made a brief comment about her husband and family life. She wrote, “I have been married for 19 years to Jacob, and we have three sons, Kyler, Cash, and Cole, and a dog Mookie. We know this is going to shock you all, but on the weekends we love to hang out together! Our boys, husbands included, love to ride dirt bikes, while we take long walks. All the boys are very involved in sports, so we are usually carting them around from different games or matches!”
The 42-year-old HGTV star has yet to publicly comment on her separation or divorce from Jacob. Notably, she deleted a post celebrating their wedding anniversary in 2021, which has only added to fans’ curiosity.
As of now, Leslie Davis appears focused on her new chapter with Don Reidy, and fans are wishing her all the best in her upcoming journey of love and adventure.
