What happened to Ty Pennington after Extreme Makeover: Home Edition?

Ty Pennington has appeared in several other reality TV shows in recent years. After guest-starring on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, he starred in Ty Breaker, Battle on the Beach, and Rock the Block. Of the latter show, he told People, “It’s just amazing. There’s just so much good talent on the show. … It’s the greatest show I’ve ever seen on HGTV.” In July 2023, Pennington will also appear on the lively “Barbie Dream House Challenge,” helping to build “a first-ever den for Ken” like it in a HGTV teaser is called.

While his reality TV resume is quickly rebuilding, Pennington has several other career aspirations underway. In 2022, he launched a beach home décor collaboration with At Home, which includes furniture, accessories, rugs and more.

And speaking of the personal, Pennington got married at the age of 57. In November 2021, the carpenter-turned-designer married Kellee Merrell in an intimate backyard ceremony at their home in Savannah, Georgia. In November 2022, Pennington celebrated his first anniversary with Merrell by posting a cute video of the two dancing together on their wedding day. “A year ago I made the best (and easiest) decision of my life! 10 out of 10 would recommend marrying your best friend,” he wrote on Instagram.
