Is HGTV's Tiffany Brooks Married?
Tiffany Brooks is known for being the lead designer and host of the "HGTV Smart Home Giveaway" series, but she was also the eighth season winner of "HGTV Design Star" in 2013 and briefly hosted the HGTV show, "The Most Embarrassing Rooms in America" (per HGTV). Her more recent ventures include starring in the network's 2021 show, "$50K Three Way."
Off of television, she has found success as the lead interior designer of Tiffany Brooks Interiors, her Chicago-based design firm (via Tiffany Brooks Interior). Per HGTV, Architectural Digest featured Brooks in their 2020 and 2021 Top 100 Interior Designers list and in their 20 Most Famous Interior Designers Working Today list. Additionally, the Black Interior Designers Network named her one of the nation's Top 20 African American Interior Designers (per HGTV).
With this much success and interior design style, it's no wonder that Brooks' audience has begun to wonder about the designer's personal life.
Tiffany Brooks married her high school sweetheart
As mentioned by HGTV, many of the details about Tiffany Brooks' marriage are kept private, but it's known that the interior designer is happily married to Dante Brooks. According to The Cinemaholic, Brooks began dating Dante in the '90s when they were both high school students. However, the exact date of their marriage is not known.
The Tiffany Brooks Interiors website provides insight into the Brooks' marriage, as it states that Dante is an important part of the interior design company. It also mentions that Dante is always there for Brooks, naming him as her "backup." Other notable details about her husband mentioned on the website are his loyalty to the Chicago Bulls and his love of Prince.
Notably, Dante is also a creator and owner of the streetwear band Afresh Culture. The brand features many religious themes in its clothing and is stated to have a Christian-based mission (per Afresh Culture). Additionally, Dante can often be seen on the company's Instagram promoting the brand and merchandise.
Tiffany and Dante Brooks also have a son together
With her husband Dante, Tiffany Brooks has a son named Ayden Brooks, who was born in 2003. Although Dante has been featured in her posts before, you're much more likely to see her son on her Instagram page. Typically, she posts a selfie with him every year to commemorate his birthday (via Instagram).
As mentioned on The Cinemaholic, both Brooks and her son live with type 1 diabetes. Because of this, the HGTV star has become an avid supporter of JDRF, a nonprofit organization that funds type 1 diabetes research and provides access to community and activist resources.
On Yay Decor, she has also blogged about her medical experiences regarding Ayden's birth and the subsequent complications caused by her diabetes. Not only was the birth induced early because of the toll of the pregnancy, but her kidneys rapidly lost function in the period following her son's release from premature infant care.
She closes the post by saying, "I have come so far since illness and depression raged in my body. I am married to my soul mate, raising the most entertaining child in the world, made a career of my passion, and managed to rock it out on a national stage."
