Love looks good on HGTV star Alison Victoria, whose relationship with filmmaker Brandt Andersen appears to be stronger than ever.
The “Windy City Rehab” star turned heads on January 31, 2025, when she posted a carousel of photos with Andersen, beginning with one of her in a string bikini, leaning in as she kissed Andersen aboard a catamaran. Victoria’s photo collection also included images of her and Andersen scuba diving, sightseeing, posing in front of a helicopter, laughing together on a park bench, and embracing each other for a rooftop kiss with Victoria’s legs wrapped around her beau.
Victoria, 43, captioned the series of photos, “You, my 🤍… are my greatest adventure.” Fans and other HGTV stars swarmed her comment section to express how happy they were to see her so happy.

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 during the second half of the year as he promoted “The Stranger’s Case,” his feature film directorial debut.
Some of Victoria’s HGTV colleagues commented on her latest post, including “The Flip-Off” star Christina Haack, who left three red heart emoji on the post.
Victoria’s “Battle on the Beach” co-star Taniya Nayak wrote, “Yes to all of this ❤️”

Former “Boise Boys” star Luke Henry Caldwell wrote, “So happy for you! 🤍🤍”

Someone else wrote, “I am so happy for you ❤️ All the trials and tribulations, you can do gut rehabs, but not relationships. Genuinely love seeing you in this relationship. I’ve watched the entire 5 seasons and your dream house while I was depressed in 2 weeks and you gave me hope. Thank you. So inspiring”
Victoria responded, “Thank you so much. Sending you 🤍”

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.”
“Every morning it’s just like, ‘Can I make you lunch to bring to set?’ or ‘What can I do for you today?'” Victoria said of the way Andersen treats her. “I’ve just never had a true partnership.”
When asked about their future together, Victoria told ET that they are “absolutely” certain that “this is it.”
“We’re just together for this life and hopefully the next life and the next life ’cause it’s like, I don’t know what I believe in but I do know that, like, we should have another shot, and hopefully earlier (in life),” she continued.
That doesn’t necessarily mean she’s fantasizing about marrying Andersen, though. She also told Us Weekly in November, “I don’t like that kind of stuff. I like living in the moment. I really do.”
According to The List, Victoria was married to fellow Chicago native Luke Harding in 2013. But Victoria wrote on Facebook in 2022 that the relationship ended after four years, expressing her disappointment that she didn’t freeze her eggs sooner because she thought she’d wind up starting a family with him.
In 2020, People reported that Victoria was dating “longtime boyfriend” Michael Marks. It’s not clear when they split, or how long she’s been dating Andersen.
