I am deeply grateful to Kinetic Content and the entire production team for their vision, trust, and dedication to creating a series that thoughtfully explores modern relationships and marriage. We spent 19 seasons and almost 13 years working hand-in-hand to bring this franchise to life.

To our singles and couples: thank you for your openness, bravery, and willingness to take an extraordinary leap of faith. Allowing yourselves to be seen in such a vulnerable way is no small thing, and it has been a privilege to walk alongside you during such a pivotal moment in your lives.
As I step away, I do so with immense pride in what this franchise has accomplished and deep confidence in its future. I leave this post with gratitude and optimism, knowing that the foundation we’ve built will continue to evolve and inspire.
I’m excited to move on to new projects, carrying with me the lessons, relationships, and memories from this incredible experience.

I am deeply grateful to Kinetic Content and the entire production team for their trust, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to telling love stories with care and intention.
To the experts, crew, and everyone behind the scenes who poured their hearts into this franchise, thank you for creating a space where vulnerability, growth, and faith in love could truly exist.
Most importantly, I want to thank every single person brave enough to sign up for ‘MAFS.‘ You allowed me into some of the most sacred moments of your lives, and I never took that lightly. Your courage, honesty, and willingness to believe in the process reminded me time and again why this work matters. Thank you for trusting us with your love stories.

A warm thanks to Kinetic Content, all of the amazingly talented producers, and every single member of the production staff for their dedication and important work in telling meaningful stories while also creating some TV magic.

Creating your own perfect dream home isn’t always as easy as doing it for others.
For beloved HGTV star David Bromstad, work on his home turned into a disaster.
On his TV special and in subsequent interviews, he’s opened up about how he turned to drugs after a storm destroyed his home.
He’s since been to rehab and finished his dream home. But things were touch and go along the way.
He truly got his happy ending
During his December 2025 My Lottery Dream Home: David’s Happy Ending, the titular designer shared the darkest part of his dream home journey.
“I was starting to spiral,” he shared during the special. “I got into some unhealthy behaviors.”
Bromstad pointed out: “It’s really easy to go there when you’re under distress.”
He got more specific: “You know, using substances… It’s a real easy escape to take yourself out of a stressful situation. I knew I was in trouble.”
Fortunately, he went to rehab and was able to work on himself. And, in time, he was also able to fix the house.
Bromstad’s dream home is in Orlando. He and his residence are both strong and healthy now. But that was not always the case.
Extreme water damage, flooding, and mold devastated the work-in-progress property following a storm. He had to start the work over.
This was a major setback. It is only natural that it impacted his mental health.
“I think with the house, with where I’m at emotionally, physically, spiritually, psychologically, everything has stopped,” he explained. “I was literally screaming out for help.”
Wisely, he sought that help. “I need to put my house on hold, and I need to check myself into some sort of program.”
‘It’s about my drug addiction’
Bromstad joined Ross Matthew for an Instagram Live on the day that the special premiered on HGTV.
“When I said this is the biggest moment of my life, it really didn’t have anything to do with the house,” he admitted.
“It had me talking about what this whole process was about,” Bromstad explained.
“And,” he continued, “that’s about my mental health and it’s about my drug addiction.”
Bromstad emphasized: “It was about moving through it, but also not hiding it, which I did the first time I got sober.”
“It was a difficult process,” Bromstad admitted during the livestream.
Highlighting the parallels between his mental state and his project, he added: “The house reflected what was really going on with me personally.”
Bromstad admitted that he “wasn’t treating himself properly.”
That is when he checked himself into a “trauma-based rehab” for a few months to “clean up my act.”
He affirmed: “That’s all I needed. I just needed someone to carve time out for me.”
He made it (and the house did, too)
Ultimately, Bromstad’s dream home project was a four-year journey.
In that time, he also had to step back and work on himself.
Sometimes, you have to get your house in order metaphorically before you can get your house in order in a more literal, tangible sense.
(The converse is also true! The state of your home both reflects and impacts your state of mind and even your mental health)
Now, he’s living in his dream home and showing it off to the world. Good for him!

We have shocking news to report out of Minneapolis today:
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has confirmed that a woman has been shot and killed by ICE agents.
According to McLaughlin, the woman began by using her vehicle to block ICE agents from “conducting targeted operations.”
She then allegedly “weaponized” the vehicle against agents.
Department of Homeland Security issues statement following ICE shooting
“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement, and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers,” McLaughlin said in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon.
“The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. Thankfully, the ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
“This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available,” McLaughlin continued, adding:
“This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.”
The woman, who reportedly died on the scene, has not been identified.
Several journalists and social media figures have pushed back against the narrative that the driver was killed in self-defense.
“To all of the MAGA Republicans and ICE defenders who are claiming that this woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, tried to run ICE officers over with her car before they shot and killed her, here is the actual video,” wrote journalist Ed Krassenstein.
“As you can clearly see, there are three ICE officers to the side of her car, and she slowly pulls away as they shoot her in the face. This is Trump‘s America,” he added.
Within minutes of the footage going public, the words “Minneapolis” and “murder,” as well as the name of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem all became top trending topics on X (formerly Twitter).
Needless to say, this is sure to become another hot-button political issue in a year that has already been rife with them.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

After weeks of delays, Nick Reiner was set to be arraigned on murder charges today.
But in an unexpected twist, he entered the courtroom without his famed attorney, Alan Jackson, and the situation forced yet another postponement.
According to a report from TMZ, Jackson has withdrawn from the case under uncertain circumstances.
Famed defense lawyer replaced by veteran public defender
The cause of his withdrawal is unclear, but for the time being, Jackson has been replaced by Kimberly Greene, a public defender with 19 years’ experience.
The judge in Nick’s case signed off on the change in representation, and for the first time since his arrest, the 32-year-old spoke in court.
“Uh, yeah I agree with that,” Nick said when asked if he agreed to a new arraignment date of February 23.
“They have the utmost trust in the legal process and will not comment further on matters related to the legal proceedings,” the Reiner family said in a statement issued today.
Nick did not enter a plea today, but he will be expected to do so when he returns to court next month.
As expected, no bail amount was set, and Nick will almost certainly remain behind bars throughout his trial.
The previous delays in his cort proceedings stemmed from the fact that Nick had been placed on suicide watch.
He was arrested on December 14 and charged with the murders of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner.
It’s unclear at this time if the public defender is just a temporary solution, or if Greene will continue to represent Reiner once his case goes to trial.
Jackson is one of the most celebrated defense attorneys in the country, having recently scored a not guilty verdict for Karen Read, who was charged with the murder of her police officer husband.
Jackson addressed the media moments ago, and while he did not go into detail, he stated that the circmstances of his withdrawal were beyond Nick’s control.
“Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder,” Jackson stressed to reporters (per TMZ).
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Comedians Bill Hader and Ali Wong have reportedly called it quits after two weeks of dating.
News of the split comes courtesy of a report from People.
A source tells the outlet that the split has been “very amicable” for both parties.
Hader and Wong split due to busy schedules, insider explains
“They are very much friends and still in touch,” says the insider.
Neither Hader nor Wong has spoken publicly about the alleged breakup.
The insider explained that the couple’s busy schedules — both are single parents with thriving careers — simply made their situation unsustainable.
“It was too difficult to make the relationship work with Ali’s upcoming stand up tour and Bill’s various film and tv projects this year,” said the insider source, adding:
“They’re focusing on their work and kids, while continuing to support and root for each other.”
Wong and Hader first started dating in 2022 before calling it quits for the first time.
They got back together in 2023 and remained a couple for over two years.
In her 2024 standup special Single Lady, Wong revealed that Hader got her number from a mutual friend after learning of her divorce.
He later texted that he had a crush on her “forever” and asked her to be his girlfriend.
We don’t know exactly when they broke up for the second time, but the split comes at a tumultuous time for Hader, who just attracted media attention last month.
Hader allegedly crossed paths with Rob and Michelle Reiner’s son ahead of murders
As you’ve likely heard by now Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and wife Michelle were found stabbed to death in their home last month.
The couple’s son, Nick Reiner, was arrested in connection with the murders, and he’s currently in jail awaiting trial.
Just hours before the murders, Nick and his parents attended a holiday party hosted by friend and neighbor Conan O’Brien.
Witnesses that say at one point in the evening, there was a tense encounter Nick and Hader.
Sources claim that Nick — who had reportedly been acting erratically all night — became upset after Bill gently chided him for interrupting a private conversation.
There appears to be no connection between that incident and Hader’s split from Wong, but making tabloid headlines twice in as many months is likely an unpleasant experience for an actor who’s endevored to keep a tight lid on his personal life throughout his lengthy career.
