HGTV’s Alison Victoria Reveals She’s Been Sober for Over 8 Months

If longtime HGTV star Alison Victoria has her way, she’ll “live forever and look damn good doing it.”

That’s what Victoria, 44, told Chicago Magazine in late April 2025, sharing multiple ways she’s been working on improving her health and prioritizing her happiness. One big decision the “Windy City Rehab” star and current contestant on “Rock The Block” made in 2024 was to cut all alcohol out of her diet.

“What we put in is what we get out,” she told the outlet. “That’s the biggest reason I gave up alcohol eight months ago. My skin’s never looked better, and my overall happiness is better, too. You know, some people use all the best lotions but drink a gallon of wine a night, and they look like hell. Beauty, health, and wellness all start from within.”

Alison Victoria Reveals Her Daily Workout & Diet Regimen

Victoria has been filming her new show, “Sin City Rehab,” in Las Vegas, expected to premiere sometime in 2025. At her homes there and in Chicago, she’s installed her own Lagree M3 Megaformers, Pilates workout machines that cost nearly $7,000 each.

“I wake up at 8 a.m. and go right into my home gym for my Lagree workout,” she told Chicago Magazine. “It’s 45 minutes. I’ve got big gumballs in my gym, and I shove a couple of those in for a sugar rush. I started doing only Lagree a year and a half ago and ended up losing 10 pounds.”

Victoria has a sweet tooth, so she washed down all of her vitamins with a favorite brownie batter flavored FlavCity protein shake — and adds some BeautyLux Multi Collagen powder.

“It’s so good, I just mix it with water,” she said. “I have been through every single protein drink and powder, and this is, hands down, the best-tasting one.”

When she’s filming, Victoria told Chicago Magazine, she has “roasted red pepper egg white bites,” but nothing else for breakfast or lunch. Most nights, she said, she eats a wagyu rib eye steak with “salt, pepper, a little bit of butter, and rosemary.”

“I make a little salad with romaine lettuce and garbanzo beans,” she added, but admitted to satisfy her sweet tooth, she always has candy on hand.

“I also love candy so much,” she told the magazine. “Maybe it’s because I was born on Halloween? Like, I’m a full candy freak. Last night I fell asleep eating Red Vines.”

Alison Victoria is Also Happier Than Ever With Her Relationship

Adding to Victoria’s health and happiness is her relationship with filmmaker Brandt Andersen.

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

The couple has traveled all over the world together to promote “The Stranger’s Case,” his feature film directorial debut, at film festivals where it’s received critical acclaim. In early May, she celebrated that it will be released in theaters on Christmas Day.

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.”
