Alison Victoria is turning a new leaf after a dramatic few years on the new season of her HGTV show Windy City Rehabilitation Center. Once again, Victoria is renovating gorgeous homes in her hometown of Chicago and elsewhere. The eight-episode season marks a fresh start for her as it’s a new chapter for her this time without her business partner/co-star Donovan Eckhardt, who she says mishandled their company’s finances. They faced a work stoppage and serious legal trouble because of him last season.
Now, with her career feuds behind her, Alison has promised fans that they can expect to see a different version of her. Meanwhile, fans are also wondering about her boyfriend, Michael Marks. So, for the rest of the article, we’ll talk about that.
Meet Michael Marks, Alison Victoria’s boyfriend
Back in September 2020, when she spoke to PEOPLE about starting over after a difficult breakup with her co-star, she also mentioned a “long-term” boyfriend named Michael Marks. She said Michael and his family helped her stay positive during a tumultuous and dramatic year.
Since then, Alison has not mentioned Michael or their relationship. But pictures of her and Mark certainly exist on social media platforms. However, it seems Alison prefers to keep her dating life private.
Alison has yet to show Michael to viewers. Windy City Rehabilitation Center. Not when Alison previously starred on DIY Network Kitchen Vandals as the first female presenter The Vandals franchise, or other HGTV series like Battle on the Beach, Shake the block, The One Who Broke the Ty, and specials HGTV Dream Home And White House Christmas.
Are Alison Victoria and boyfriend Michael Marks still together?
Alison Victoria and Michael Marks have yet to confirm whether they are still together. But they have also given no indication that they have split.
With her “office husband” even though she had no romantic intentions towards him, there’s no denying that it was a real breakup for her. So an actual breakup from a real romance with Michael would definitely be a big deal for Alison. And it would make sense that Alison would talk about it on public platforms as well.
In the third season of Windy City Rehabilitation CenterAlison also spoke about her desire to have a family, if and when she was ready. She also detailed her IVF journey. In one episode, she shared that she tried to freeze her eggs, but the difficult process was unfortunately unsuccessful. In a confessional, she said, “I want to have my own children, and I want to have that option, and I never want anyone to tell me I can’t.”
Alison has no children but she is godmother to her friend Charlie’s child.
As for unversed, Alison was also married before, to another man. He was Luke Harding, an insurance agent like Alison from Chicago. Alison met him through an online dating app in 2011. However, it is unclear when they broke up.
At some point, Alison also posed affectionately with this guy named Kenneth Wayne Johnson in photos posted on her social media in 2020 – 2021.
