Alison Victoria Shares Huge Milestone With Filmmaker Beau: ‘My Heart. My Love.’

Longtime HGTV star Alison Victoria is over the moon for her beau of more than a year, filmmaker Brandt Andersen. On May 6, 2025, the “Windy City Rehab” star revealed on Instagram that Andersen’s critically acclaimed documentary, “The Stranger’s Case,” has been picked up by film distributor Angel Studios and will be released in theaters on Christmas Day.

Captioning a series of black and white photos of them together, Victoria wrote, “My heart. My love.
Watching you and seeing you fight for this film of yours is my greatest inspiration. Now it’s all coming true and I can’t wait for the world to see your big beating heart… on the big screen! @thestrangerscasemovie 12.25.2025″

Alison Victoria Has Traveled the World With Brandt Andersen to Promote ‘The Stranger’s Case’

In between filming her HGTV shows, including her current stint as a competitor on the sixth season of “Rock the Block,” Victoria has traveled the world with Brandt, as “The Stranger’s Case” was shown at various film festivals.

Andersen’s producer credits, per IMDb, include “Everest” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, “Lone Survivor” starring Mark Wahlberg, “2 Guns” starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” starring Adam Driver, and “American Made” starring Tom Cruise. But according to EuroNews, after Andersen worked with humanitarian agencies, he felt drawn to document life in European refugee camps.

He first wrote and directed 2020’s critically-acclaimed short film “Refugee,” according to the outlet. Then, in early 2024, he made his feature film directorial debut with “The Stranger’s Case,” about the chain of events that happens across families after an explosion “forever alters the lives of a Syrian family in Aleppo.” The movie made its premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival.

The movie will have a limited theatrical release on December 25, followed by a wide release in theaters January 2026, according to a press release from Angel Studios, which bills itself as a “values-based distribution company for stories that amplify light to mainstream audiences.” Its biggest box office hit was 2023’s “Sounds of Freedom.”

“I am honored and grateful to partner with Angel to share ‘The Stranger’s Case’ with a global audience,” Andersen said in the statement. “I cannot wait for everyone to see the hard work of this amazing cast and crew on the big screen. This film is deeply personal, and I believe its message of shared humanity is more important now than ever.”

Alison Victoria & Brandt Andersen Went Public With Their Relationship in June 2024

Victoria went Instagram official with Andersen in June 2024, sharing multiple photos of them together at the Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. 

Victoria was stunned and thrilled by how much media attention her first Instagram post with Andersen generated in June, telling Us Weekly a week later, “We did not think it was that big of a deal. But to me, I just love him.”

“He is the most amazing human I’ve ever met,” she gushed to the outlet. “I love that everybody already knew how amazing he was. And now I could just be so proud to be next to him.”

In November, she told Entertainment Tonight, “I’ve never felt, like, more safe. And that just is something I never have felt in my life. I’ve always just been someone that’s like, ‘I got it. I’ll do it myself.’ You know? Like, forge ahead and armor up. And it’s like I don’t have to wear that armor with him. And I get to just be, like, my authentic, vulnerable, scared-little-girl self with him and he takes care of me.”
