HGTV star Alison Victoria Sparks Engagement Buzz with statement ring

HGTV Alison Victoria has sparked engagement rumors after snapping a selfie with a sparkling rock on it That finger – months after she teased a TV comeback.

The 44-year-old sparked speculation that her boyfriend, Brandt Andersenhad popped the question after sharing a photo of herself wearing a glittering ring.

She accepted Instagram to share a carousel of photos from her camera roll, captioning it, “Weekend rewind.”

The post included videos of her and Andersen, as well as photos of their dog.

In the last photo, Victoria could be sitting in the salon getting her hair done. In the photo, she wore two diamond bands on her left finger.

Fans flocked to the comments section wondering if she was engaged.

“Engagement and wedding rings??? What did I miss?!” one user commented.

“Is that a wedding ring??!” said another follower.

Realtor.com® has contacted Victoria for comment.

Victoria and Andersen went public with their romance in June 2024, at a time when she was talking about her boyfriend People.

“Brandt is a brilliant filmmaker and with his directorial debut, we traveled to all these festivals this summer. And when we first became friends, he was doing all the post for his film — like sound and VFX stuff — and I was there on that trip, helping him along the way as a true partner, like he is to me,” she told the outlet.

Victoria previously teased a potential TV comeback after fans of the home improvement network complained about her no longer appearing on their screens.

“Battle on the Beach” host Victoria was one of several HGTV favorites whose shows were suddenly canceled by the network over the summer in a shocking programming purge that also brought series like “Married to Real Estate,” “Christina on the Coast” and “The Flipping El Moussas” to a quick end.

Although Victoria, who recently moved from Chicago to Las Vegas, had another project to air on HGTV in the form of “Sin City Rehab,” which debuted in September and ran for eight episodes, the network has yet to reveal whether it plans to renew it for a second season.

In the meantime, the “Windy City Rehab” alum has been noticeably absent from the network… until now.

Victoria has hinted that she may be returning to the small screen much sooner than audiences expected, responding to fans in a comment on Instagram that she is “coming back.”

Victoria teased her big return after an Instagram user said, “We miss you on HGTV,” alongside a fire emoji, prompting the home renovation expert to respond, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back!”

The comments were shared on a photo of the TV star showing off her washboard abs in a blue bikini, and other photos of her on what appeared to be a tropical vacation.

Her tease comes amid a time of significant transformation for Victoria, who moved from the Windy City to Sin City in an effort to reignite her creativity and take her HGTV series with her.

She talked about the move in an extensive interview with House Beautiful in September, explaining how she’s always had a special place for Vegas, even after living in Chicago for so many years, after initially living in the Nevada hot spot for a while when she was 19.

“Some of my most important years were in Las Vegas, and most people didn’t know that and don’t know that. I’ve always had a house here and I’ve always lived a life here, but I mainly just stopped by to visit,” she told the outlet.

However, she admitted that her move to Las Vegas was also prompted by another factor, namely the lawsuits she faced in which clients accused her of “shoddy construction,” a scandal she was eager to put behind her.

Victoria and her former costar, Donovan Eckhardtwere both sued by different clients – and Victoria subsequently sued Eckhardt for mishandling of finances and shady behavior.

“After what I’ve been through with the many lawsuits and the building department in Chicago, I just don’t know how to explain it. It’s like being in a relationship, right? I was in a relationship with the city I loved and lived in, and then I wasn’t treated well,” she explained.

“That just wasn’t happening, and I needed a break. I just needed to get out of there. I wasn’t my happiest self; I wasn’t living my best life.”

The HGTV star added, “When I’m happy, I’m my most creative self. My creativity died in Chicago, and I felt that in my work.”

“I literally got up and left. I left the most beautiful dream house, which is just perfect. It’s still stuck the way I left it: fully furnished, all my clothes are there. I just thought, ‘I’m out.'”

The designer now lives in a Spanish-style home in Henderson, NV, which she has called her “sanctuary.”

Now settled into her Nevada home, Victoria revealed she hopes to change the city one house at a time, showing people it doesn’t all have to look the same.

She later told Realtor.com that she feels like Vegas is her ultimate home, explaining, “I’ll tell you this: I’m home. I’m finally, for the first time in my life, I’m home. I mean, I’m designing homes all over the country. So my company will continually grow and do jobs all over the country.”

“So that will never change, and I will spend a lot of time in California. My boyfriend lives in Malibu, so we go between Malibu and Las Vegas. But I finally feel like I’m living my best life, and it feels very, very safe, and it feels very good.”
