HGTV personality Leslie Davis took a trip with her new fiance, Don Reidyand her children after confirming her divorce from her ex-husband Jacob Davis.
“Spent last weekend in the California sun,” Leslie, 42, wrote Instagram on Thursday, January 22. “Spending time with my boys and laughing our way through the amusement parks.”
The Unsaleable houses The star and Reidy enjoyed the getaway with two of Davis’ sons, Cash and Cole, who she shares with Jacob. (The exes also share son Kyler, who didn’t join them on the trip, Leslie confirmed.)
“We ticked all the tourist boxes from Krustyland at @unistudios to the Walk of Fame and the Santa Monica Pier!” she continued. “We adapt a lot in a few short days 🎢⭐️⛱️”.
Lesie included a series of photos of her family vacation and the various Southern California attractions they visited, including Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Santa Monica Pier, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The post included a group selfie on a boardwalk, as well as Davis and Reidy smiling while on the beach.
The trip came a few days after Leslie wrote a blog post titled “Leslie’s Life Update.” announcing their recent engagement.
“Hey everyone, Leslie here! I shared some really big news this week… I’m engaged!!!” he wrote earlier this month. “And Don and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share our story with you and celebrate this big life moment.”
In the same post, Leslie later confirmed that she and Jacob had quietly divorced years earlier.
“I know what you’re saying… ‘I didn’t even know you were divorced?'” he joked. “Well, over 1,000 social media comments later, you all have a lot of questions. I’ve decided to keep this part of my personal life private, which is hard to do as someone with a show on HGTV.”
Leslie noted that the decision to keep her and Jacob’s split in 2022 private was out of respect for her decision to “stay out of the public eye.”
“Jacob and I made the very hard but right decision for our family to separate in 2022, allowing us to create a happy, loving and stable home to raise our three children,” Leslie continued. “Jacob and I will always share love, now in a new way, we’ve learned to become the best teammates, support each other, support each other in new adventures and always put our kids first. With so many changes, our priority was always to protect our family, so I’ve kept this part of my life private. And seriously, LOL, I’m even getting a divorce!”
Leslie explained that she and Reidy connected during filming the fifth season of Rock the Blockwhich aired on HGTV in 2024. Reidy was one of the contractors and the pair formed a friendship before things turned romantic after filming.
“Through the stressful days, endless hours and lots of laughs in between, we became best friends and continued to stay in touch after filming,” he continued. “Don was living in Colorado working on other HGTV favorites while I was finishing up filming Unsaleable houses season 5 here in Snohomish, but we made an effort to keep our friendship growing. With hundreds of FaceTime calls that turned into quick dates and weekend trips to see each other, it was clear that we were more than friends.”
After being “long distance” for “almost a year,” Leslie and Reidy “decided to give it a shot” and the contractor moved to be with her and her children.
“Thank you all so much for the love and support for this exciting new chapter. Don and I can’t wait to share more with you all very soon!” she concluded.
