She added that the divorce occurred way back in 2022, but wasn\u2019t shared publicly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOkay\u2026Okay\u2026 I know what you are all saying\u2026 \u2018I didn\u2019t even know you were divorced!\u2019\u201d Leslie wrote after she was inundated with fans questioning what happened to Jacob. \u201cWell, 1,000+ social media comments later, you all have a lot of questions. I have chosen to keep this part of my personal life private, a hard thing to do as someone with a show on HGTV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <em>Unsellable Houses<\/em> host went on to praise Jacob as a \u201crockstar a of dad\u201d in the blog post titled<em> Leslie\u2019s Life Update<\/em> and noted he\u2019s always preferred to stay out of the public eye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cJacob and I will always share love for each other, just now in a new way, we have learned to become the best teammates, to lean on each other, to support each other\u2019s new adventures, and always put our boys first,\u201d Leslie continued. \u201cWith lots of changes, our priority was to always protect our family, which is why I have kept this part of my life private. And seriously, who even announces a divorce anyway LOL!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The confusion from fans around her marital status stemmed from Leslie\u2019s announcement earlier in the week that she is engaged to <strong>Don Reidy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DTgB45XDxu-\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSURPRISE!

Don was one of the contractors working tirelessly on our house, making it #TWINWIN worthy! Through the stressful days, endless hours, and lots of laughs in between, we became best friends and continued to stay in touch post-filming,\u201d she wrote. \u201cDon was living in Colorado and working on other HGTV favorites, while I was wrapping up filming <em>Unsellable Houses<\/em> season 5 here in Snohomish, but we made an effort to keep our friendship growing.
