HGTV’s Revealed Host Surprise Birthday Celebration

On September 13, Valencia, who also leads the team on the latest reboot of the show, shared an Instagram video of her 39th birthday celebration on set. The surprise was arranged by her design team, and she was presented with a large bunch of balloons at dinner.
Echoing her sentiment in her caption, Valencia commented, “From my 23rd birthday on the set of Extreme Makeover; Home Edition to my 39th, this road has been unforgettable. If I can’t be home with loved ones, this is exactly where I want to be.” She expressed gratitude for her team, the journey, and each site and state that she’s called home.
Engaging IGTV Star Interaction
Many followers wished Valencia a happy birthday on the Instagram post, including Ty Pennington, the former host of Extreme Makeover. Pennington commented, “Happy birthday!” Valencia responded back, saying “miss you, bud,” with Pennington replying back with “Ditto.”
The latest edition of “Extreme Makeover” announced in May 2024, will not feature Ty Pennington as host. In his place, the new series will star master organizers and designers Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, who have already hosted successful seasons of “Master the Mess” and “Get Organized with The Home Edit.”
Post-Birthday Heartfelt Reflection
On the day before her birthday, Valencia shared an Instagram post reflecting on her last year, which she describes as a year of new beginnings. She mentioned settling into a new home, extensive work growth, and significant loss. Living out of a suitcase, with over 30 flights and five states for work, Valencia acknowledged her struggles in balancing her dedicated roles as a mother and a career woman.
“We may not always have it all together, but together, we have it all,” Valencia concluded in her post. She added that this year brought in new challenges, joys, and lessons. She showed gratitude towards her family for being the purest forms of love in her life.
As this article demonstrates, away from the screen, the bonds of the HGTV family run deep. The love and camaraderie shared between Valencia and her team are candid proof of the life behind the scenes, filled with celebratory milestones and memorable journeys.
