HGTV’s Alison Victoria has made her relationship with Brandt Andersen Instagram-official. The 42-year-old Windy City Rehab star introduced Andersen in a photo carousel on Instagram on Wednesday, June 12. She captioned the post, “My 🤍,” and included a quote from Rumi: “Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.”
Victoria shared six photos capturing the couple’s night out at the Daytime Emmy Awards, held on Friday, June 7, in Los Angeles. Two photos featured her and Andersen posing on the red carpet; she dazzled in a long, black gown with an open back, while he looked sharp in a white jacket and black trousers.
In one shot, the couple gazed into each other’s eyes, and in another, they walked hand in hand down a hallway with Andersen’s back to the camera. Victoria turned around and grinned at the lens. She had plenty to smile about, beyond her new beau: Windy City Rehab was nominated for best instructional/how-to program.
According to Entertainment Tonight, 46-year-old Brandt Andersen is a film producer with IMDb credits for movies such as Everest, Lone Survivor, and Mother’s Day.
Earlier this year, he made his directorial debut with the thriller The Strangers’ Case. Andersen previously owned The Utah Flash, a minor league basketball team affiliated with the NBA, and in 2021, he founded The Reel Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds humanitarian aid projects and socially conscious films.
Victoria, a Chicago-based interior designer specializing in home renovations, has been featured on Windy City Rehab since 2019, the same year she separated from Luke Harding, her husband of six years, according to Entertainment Tonight. HGTV has renewed the series for a fourth season scheduled to air sometime this year.
In December 2020, controversy surrounded Windy City Rehab when Victoria and her former cohost, Donovan Eckhardt, faced a lawsuit from homeowners dissatisfied with their renovation featured on the show.
Eckhardt departed amidst the legal issues, while Victoria learned of another lawsuit during the season-two finale. Eckhardt later filed a lawsuit against Discovery Inc., alleging defamation and emotional distress, though Victoria was not named in the lawsuit documents.
Recently, Victoria announced the launch of her new production company, Briefly Gorgeous.
“In a world dominated by smoke and mirrors, I am on a mission to bring truth, authenticity, and vulnerability back to our screens,” she wrote on Instagram. “Briefly Gorgeous Productions is not just another production company; it’s a revolution in reality television, dedicated to upholding truth at all costs.”
