HGTV’s Chris LaMont is now a married man! The Buy It or Build It star married the love of his life, Latoya Ellis, in November 2022.
So, who is Chris’ lovely wife, Latoya Ellis? How old is she and what does she do? Read on to find out.
Meet Latoya Ellis, Wife of HGTV Star Chris Lamont
Latoya Ellis may have married Chris Lamont on November 19, 2022. But she was his wife even before the two tied the knot in a wedding attended by family and friends. That’s right, Chris has been calling Latoya his “wife” for a long time. And it makes sense since they’ve been together for so long—even their kids are grown now!
Their two sons, Chris and Jayden, were even present at the wedding as groomsmen.
If you like Buy It or Build It, you may have seen little Chris on HGTV. He appeared in an episode of the show in June 2022, helping his dad with a renovation. “I had to shoot a few scenes with my son Chris Jr. today. He’s a natural. I better be careful, he might take my job,” Chris joked in a post.
Chris Lamont Jr., also a track and field athlete, and his friend, qualified for the Texas regionals in June 2022. He only needs one more track meet to qualify for the Youth Olympics — at just 11 years old.
As for Jayden, he turns 4 in August 2022.
Did you know: Latoya’s son, Christopher Kerron LaMont, had open heart surgery on May 23, 2013.
Latoya Ellis’s age
Latoya Ellis is 37 years old in 2022.
Coincidentally, she is the same age as Chris and his brother Calvin.
Latoya Ellis’s work
Latoya Ellis is a middle school teacher. She has been teaching children for over 9 years.
For her part, she graduated from Rutgers University.
Chris, on the other hand, graduated from Piscataway High School and went on to receive his Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management from Lehigh University School of Business in 2007.
He and his brother then moved to Dallas, TX, and opened a cleaning and floor cleaning company. And now they help people in Dallas make big decisions about their dream homes on HGTV’s Buy It or Build It.
According to the star, renovating is “an opportunity to turn something that was considered undesirable into something beautiful and soft afterwards.” Plus, he finds it “cool” to see the look on his family’s faces when they see the results of a beautiful renovation.
In addition to Buy It or Build it, Chris also works at The FOCIS Group LLC, which he co-founded in May 2009, and CWC Restoration & Construction, another company he co-founded in January 2009.
