If you’ve been following the home design world, you’ve probably heard of Kortney Wilson and Dave Wilson. They’ve been rock stars in the industry, both in Canada and the U.S., and earned a loyal fanbase through their work on HGTV. But lately, things have been a little quiet on the Wilson front. Fans are wondering why the duo hasn’t shared the screen together in quite some time. So, what’s the deal? Are they still together? Let’s dive in and find out.
How Did Dave and Kortney Wilson Meet?
Before they became household names on HGTV, Dave and Kortney were chasing their dreams in the music industry. It was their shared love for music that brought them together. Back in the early 2000s, Kortney, whose singing career was starting to take off, attended a songwriting retreat in Nashville. That’s where she crossed paths with Dave. Sparks flew, and the rest, as they say, is history.
While music remained a big part of their lives, it wasn’t long before the Wilsons discovered their true passion: flipping homes. Their journey into the world of home renovations led them to star in several hit shows, including Meet the Wilsons, Masters of Flip, and Music City Fix. But their story didn’t start with TV—it started with love. Dave and Kortney tied the knot in 2001, marking the beginning of a journey that would see them conquer the home design world.

Beyond their successful careers, the Wilsons built a beautiful family. Kortney, known for her hit song “Don’t Let Me Down,” and Dave welcomed two biological sons, Jett and Sullivan. They also adopted a daughter named Lennox, proving that their love extended far beyond their professional achievements.
Kortney has always been open about her desire to grow her family through adoption. “When I met Dave, one of the very first things I said was, ‘Someday I want to adopt a baby, and if this is a dealbreaker for you, just let me know!’” she recalled in an interview with This Mom Loves. “He was, of course, on a first date, saying, ‘Oh no, that sounds great!’” She continued, “I remember one day nursing our second child, and I said, ‘It’s time!’ Dave asked, ‘Time for what?’ and I replied, ‘Time to start the adoption process!’”
Are Dave and Kortney Wilson Still Together?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. In December 2019, the couple shocked fans with the news of their separation. After nearly 18 years of marriage, they decided to part ways. It was a difficult decision, but one they felt was necessary for their personal growth.
In a heartfelt statement posted on Kortney’s Instagram page, they shared, “It is with a very heavy heart that we share with all of you that after nearly 18 years of marriage, we have decided to separate. As most of you know, there is so much more to every story, and ours is no different. What we want you to know most of all is that we have the utmost love and respect for one another.”
Since then, Kortney has moved on and found love again. In 2021, she revealed in a blog post that she was dating a man named Ryan Vella, whom she met on Match.com. The couple’s relationship blossomed quickly, and they announced their engagement on Instagram in March 2022. As for Dave, he’s kept a low profile, choosing to keep his personal life private. It’s clear that while their paths have diverged, both Kortney and Dave continue to thrive in their own ways.
