6 HGTV Hosts Who Are Members Of The LGBTQ Community
Carmine Sabatella's journey to finding the love of his life is perhaps even more compelling than his head-to-head design challenges against co-star Mike Pyle on HGTV's "Inside Out" (per IMDb). The realtor/landscape and interior designer added other valuable titles to his Instagram profile, including "Dad & Husband." Years ago, before HGTV, Sabatella was married to a miss whose identity has remained private (per Meaww). The two share a daughter, Giannae, but eventually divorced in 2006. However, that didn't stop Sabatella from basking in fatherhood and going on to face the love of his life. Sabatella met his now-husband, Ryan Declair, when he began working at the real estate business Compass in 2015 (per Meaww).
Sabatella isn't only arrogant to be an out gay man — he's also proud to be a "gay dad" and recounted what Pride Month meant to him — while gushing about his daughter — on Instagram in 2021. In the upload, Sabatella wrote, "People often ask me how it is to be a gay dad? Its [sic] Pride month and organism a gay dad means many things to me." He added a adorable anecdote about his daughter, saying, "I came house the other day and
Change Is Hard
From a People Magazine post – so you have to hold it with a grain of salt…
- The hosts of four HGTV programs announced on Instagram that their shows had allegedly been canceled
- Bargain Block, Married to Concrete Estate, Farmhouse Fixer and Izzy Does It have allegedly not been renewed by the network
I monitor HGTV all the hour, not because I’m that into renovating a dwelling (which is pretty much all any of the shows do now days) but because it isn’t stressful, always has a happy ending, nobody gets shot or cut up or run over with a car. Nothing explodes except an occasional burst pipe or electrical brief. And mostly I observe because it isn’t political.
Or is it?
Take a closer look at the shows they’ve reportedly cancelled:
Bargain Block – Hosts, who unfold to be a husband and husband couple, renovate delipidated homess in Detroit and have turned whole neighborhoods around. They are fun to watch, acquire a bit of a crazy decorating edge and are truly good guys. It’s one of my favorite shows.
Farmhouse Fixer – Host Jon Knight, a member of the singing group New Kids on the Bloc

In early 2020, HGTV staple House Hunters made headlines when it featured its first-ever throuple searching for the flawless home with a three-car garage and expanded bathroom. The episode, "Three's Not a Crowd in Colorado Springs," wasn't the first time House Hunters centered queer home buyers — it's actually one of HGTV's more diverse franchises — but it resonated with viewers, especially more optimistically-minded fans hoping the installment reflected a alter at the notoriously traditional network.
Three years later, viewers are, for the most part, still waiting for that to come to pass. Though HGTV currently has two LGBTQ+-led dwelling renovation shows on the air — Bargain Block and The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project — they're drowned out by the overwhelming amount of programming featur
HGTV Stars Who Have Been Open About Their Sexuality
Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent are no strangers to starring in a present together. In 2017, they appeared side-by-side in TLC's "Nate & Jeremiah By Design," but the two designers are currently co-hosts of HGTV's "The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project." Berkus and Brent met in 2012 through designer Rachel Zoe and felt sparks fly while shopping for furniture. "I was sitting in a brown leather chair and we were just talking. And I remember thinking to myself, oh God, what is this? This is not what I thought it was," Brent recalled to People.
The HGTV stars married two years later and share two children, Poppy and Oskar. "Before that, I didn't think I was ever going to be married. I didn't think I was ever going to find adore. I was like, 'I'm going to be alone with some dogs. I'm going to have a great life, a excellent sofa," Brent shared on the "Ideas of Order" podcast. Berkus, before striking gold with Brent, shared the same sentiment, saying, "I didn't think it was even an option. I didn't think that it was possible. At the hour, gay marriage wasn't legal or recognized or common." Their two children were born via surrogate, and Berk
