Can A Struggling HGTV Renovate Its Content?
HGTV has been struggling. Recently, the network has canceled Christina on the Coast, The Flipping El Moussas, Battle on the Beach, Farmhouse Fixer, Married To Real Estate, Bargain Block and Izzy Does It. In an exclusive for Deadline, one source said, 'Home reno shows are expensive because all of the materials are jacked up and on delay, the price of wood and marble and everything else is going up, so these shows don't make as much sense anymore.' HGTV ranked 13th on the list of most watched networks in 2024. However, its viewership dropped 18%. Its total audience fell from 1.5 million in 2017 to 773,000 in 2024. This drop isn't the only issue at the network. As housing and building costs rise in America, home renovation shows have become more expensive to produce. While not looking at TV renovations, the University of Alabama found that in 2024 'the median spend on home renovations totaled $24,000, a 60% increase from 2020.' Even with prices going up, many still plan on renovating. The same report from UoA includes that ' more than half (52%) of American homeowners plan on renovating [in 2024] A larger issue may be homeownership itself. For Q2 2025, the Census Bureau's latest quarterly report showed The homeownership rate at 65.0%, the lowest level since 2019. Similarly, The National Association of Home Builders published in 2024, 'The homeownership rate is below the 25-year average rate of 66.4%, due to a multidecade low for housing affordability conditions.' This is important outside of TV programming for many reasons, but its effects may influence the network. It is easy to blame lower viewership numbers on DIY TikTokers and streaming services (which are also major factors). However, there seems to be something bigger at play as well. Without homes to renovate, younger demographics may simply not be tuning in. The average age of HGTV watchers is 47.3 and over 73% of their audience owns a home. At the same time, a survey from Front Door found that people start DIY projects at an average age of 28. This survey had a couple of other interesting takeaways regarding DIY content. It found that 47% of those who did DIY projects did so because they could not afford professionals and that 52% get their inspiration from social media. The survey found that 'DIYers overwhelmingly rely on the internet when stuck, with 73% consulting YouTube and 60% turning to Google for solutions.' There are multiple factors that may be affecting HGTV, this includes social media. However, social media may be the easiest to overcome or even leverage. HGTV itself has a YouTube channel with over 890k followers. HGTV content is also available to stream through HBO Max. However, content is consistently not among the most viewed titles on the streamer. Between rising costs and lower viewership, HGTV may need to reinvent itself. The network could shift focus to social media-friendly content, lower-cost renovation and even renter-friendly content; however, unless larger factors change, many young people may not need home renovation content without homes.

Exclusive: Eva Amurri Reveals the Texting Secret Behind Her Co-Parenting Success
Eva Amurri isn't just the daughter of Italian film director Franco Amurri and actress Susan Sarandon; she's a multi-hyphenate powerhouse who reminds fans that life is truly a journey to be enjoyed. When you chat with Eva, it's like chatting with your non-judgmental mom friend — the one who always seems to have a life-changing hack or a piece of wisdom that truly makes you feel more centered amid all the chaos. She's seen so much, and she shares just as much, especially when it comes to making sure moms feel seen. Not only is she an actress, known for her roles in Saved, Californication, and The Banger Sisters, but she's also a proud mom of three, a designer, a digital creator, and now, the host of The Westport Project — a web series that, as she puts it, is 'a blend of a home renovation show like Fixer Upper and a reality show like Southern Charm, where you really get to see a lot of Westport, Connecticut, which is the town I live in, the town we're building this house in.' Amid all the chaos in her life, Eva has been going head-first into the home renovation world, and is happy to be learning something new along the way. More from SheKnows Exclusive: Ali Larter on the Dreaded Summer Scaries - 'Parenting in the Summer Is No Joke' The series, she says, is an 'educational journey of creating this smart home and making it as efficient as we possibly can while also being ultra chic and beautiful for it to fit in perfectly with this luxury homeowners' community right on the beach in Westport.' As she embarks on this new project, she sat down with SheKnows to discuss everything parenting, from why she named all her kids with names that start with 'M' to the 'business model' she keeps in mind when co-parenting with Kyle Martino. Over the past decade, Eva has learned a lifetime of lessons, including the importance of shaking up one's life. 'It's been ten years that I've had my brand [lifestyle blog Happily Eva After], and I think, as anybody in any career can attest to, sometimes when you're just in the moment and you're zoomed in super close, you don't see how you got from point A to point B. And then when you zoom out, you're like, 'Wow. This actually makes total sense.' For me, it's been a really interesting road getting to this point,' our December 2024 cover star says. 'I feel like if we don't mix it up in life, what are we doing?' Eva admits that she's 'learned a lot the hard way,' but one lesson has stuck out: when you start to get bored, your product becomes boring. 'I've tried to always reinvent my job just for myself, just to keep things interesting and to stay creative,' she says. 'I've learned a lot about staying true to myself.' She's also learned to turn these lessons into teachable moments for her three kids: 'There is no learning without mistakes, and there is no getting better without mistakes either. So, I try to stay true to my advice when it comes to that and to focus on the things that you learn, of course. Everything is a learning opportunity, and the important thing is to kind of just pick yourself up and pivot,' she says. Eva and Kyle Martino were married on Oct 29, 2011, and welcomed three children together: daughter Marlowe, born on Aug 9, 2014; son Major, born on Oct 19, 2016; and son Mateo, born on March 13, 2020. As many also know, Eva and Martino separated only two months after announcing they were expecting a third child. Despite divorcing in March 2020, the pair remains quite close, especially when it comes to anything and everything to do with their kids. Since then, Eva has remarried to chef Ian Hock on June 29, 2024, completing their wonderful family. Now you've probably noticed: all of her kids' names start with 'M,' and she has a story for each one! While she says 'I loved the name Marlowe for a girl,' she has the coolest story for how she first found it: thanks to British Vogue. 'In the party section, there are different sections where they say people's names. They would have these amazing names like Honor, Frasier, and Juno. I remember taking note of them and finding like a handful of names that I really loved. And Marlowe, with an e on the end, was one of those names. … I was like, 'Wow, Marlowe Martino sounds just so cool.'' 'My favorite name for a boy was always Major,' she says, referencing how she first heard the name on T.I's reality show, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle. 'His son, who's named Major, was like 5 or maybe even younger. I was like, 'What a cool name. I've never heard that.'' Eva tells us she never planned on three kids — but the universe had other ideas. 'Then cut to we find out I'm pregnant again,' she says. 'And we separated when I was three months pregnant. So I was like, 'I don't want this kid to not only not have his parents together, but also have a name that doesn't start with M.' I got in my head about it — which now in retrospect is ridiculous, obviously. But I was pregnant. The hormones were flowing. So then I had to rack my brain for another M name. Mateo fits him perfectly, but it kind of just ended up like that.' But the tradition does have some drawbacks, as Eva hilariously puts it: 'We have to write out the kid's full name when we're texting or writing about any of them. It's a minor inconvenience, but it has been a thing. So I will forewarn anybody that having three kids with the same letter, I would not recommend.' As her fans may have seen, Eva's kids are currently living their best lives by fully embracing a more low-tech, throwback vibe (including a 100-foot slip and slide in their backyard!). 'Let it be a '90s summer,' she says. 'Let your kids get bored, read, and figure out something fun to do. As long as they're fed and safe. I think that kids being a little bored and having to make their own fun is great for the imagination.' Her three kiddos are doing a day camp, where they get to do so many cool things. 'They're getting on a bus every morning and going to camp all day, and they're loving it,' she says. 'They've been having so much fun. I mean, they've been doing everything — rock climbing, archery, swimming, and they had a foam party today.' 'It's really cool for me because it's the first year where all three of them can be in the same place because they're old enough now,' she adds, 'which is kind of a crazy milestone.' Camp only lasts so long, though, and having to entertain your kid every day — especially during the summer months — can be overwhelming. However, Eva has a rule of thumb for parents: 'Give yourself some grace. You don't have to be a camp counselor extraordinaire. The kids don't have to be rocket scientists by the end of the summer. Just let yourself off the hook a little bit.' When asked if she sees her kids going to a sleepaway camp, she laughed, saying, 'My daughter is turning 11 this summer, and she's like, 'I'm never gonna go to sleepaway camp. I wanna live with you till I'm 37!' Her exact words!' That's no surprise, considering the close-knit nature of Eva's family. 'My oldest two are very close, almost codependent. They're almost like twins in a lot of ways,' Eva reflects. And as for 5-year-old Mateo? He may be the youngest, but the influence of his two older siblings has matured him more rapidly. 'Him being the third, he's almost more like an 8-year-old. He's grown up so quickly, and he's so mature because he has two older siblings,' she says. 'So now we're kind of getting to that point [where] he's not taking a nap, he's fully potty trained, he can hang.' To anyone who worries that their youngest won't bond with their older siblings, Eva has a message: 'It does get better. It gets more fun. You may end up with a third child who acts a little older than their years, a little precocious, but in my mind it's worth it.' Of course, it helps that her family loves nothing more than quality time together. 'We just love doing things that are family events,' Eva gushes, 'whether that's going to the movies, going to the aquarium, going to try out a new playground, trying out a cool new restaurant. We also love doing things like scavenger hunts. We play a ton in our backyard. We play a ton of board games — we're a really big board game family.' And when Eva says 'family events,' she means it: right down to the inclusion of her ex-husband Kyle. 'I think just in terms of family time, it was always my goal to have a really collaborative co-parenting relationship. I also come from a blended family, and while it was very blended, it wasn't collaborative,' she reflected. '[We didn't have a] kind of open door policy and, a lot of time together. I've spent a lot of time with both sides of my family, but there wasn't so much time of everybody [being] blended. Life is so short. Right? And we're so lucky for any time we have together as a family.' Yes, her ex-husband is still her family — and don't you forget it! 'I'm very lucky that I have a co-parenting partner who has also centered the kids and really wanted to maintain that relationship,' she said. 'Kyle's not just my ex-husband. He's a member of my family.' Eva does give a disclaimer, lest anyone think it's all sunshine and roses, all the time: 'We're not perfect, by the way. Like, our relationship has never been perfect, obviously. We got divorced for a reason. We didn't just do that for fun.' However, she did give some advice for fellow co-parents, saying she and Kyle rely on respectful communication. 'I call it the coworker model,' she revealed. 'You really have to treat your co-parent the way you would treat your coworker, with the same level of respect. Your communications should happen between the hours of nine to five. You shouldn't be shooting off texts or emails. You should really think about, 'Would the content of my message be acceptable in the workplace?' And if not, then you need to process that in your own time, and you need to come to that person with a more appropriate message.' Eva added, 'I think a lot of times, because we have had an intimate relationship with an ex-partner, we are used to coming to them in a more emotional way, and that is something that has to stop when you're co-parenting. That is my most practical advice. Hopefully, people can use it.' Along with mindful communication, Eva is all about being mindful with everything she does — including her mini moments of self-care. 'I can't believe I used to ever think I was busy or tired,' she joked. 'I have vastly less time for self-care. Alone time and independent time has always been what fills my cup. I'm a really curious person, so exploring, trying new things, going to lunch by myself at a new restaurant, going to a museum on my own, even going to see movies on my own. That to me is such a luxury.' She added, 'Having my own life kind of outside of my family, even if it's in these little micro ways, that for me is so important. It reminds me of the woman I am and was before I had kids. And for me, that allows me to come back to my kids with a lot more patience and energy, because I find that I can get burned out and tapped out, especially with three kids. It's a lot.' While Eva is a talented, trendsetting force of nature, she is — first and foremost — a proud mom. Which means doing the best for her own family, regardless of others' opinions of what makes a 'perfect mom' or a 'perfect partner.' 'I think if becoming a mom, being married for the second time, going through a divorce, co-parenting has taught me anything, it's that what works for you and your family works for you and your family,' she says. 'Nobody else has to understand it.' It is, perhaps, Eva's most empowering piece of advice: 'You create your own rules for your life,' she says wisely. 'There's nobody who comes down at the end of all this and hands you a trophy for doing it exactly how you were supposed to. That doesn't happen. Chase the joy. Make sure you're actively living your life and you're happy.' And the secret to happy children? 'When they have two happy parents,' says Eva. 'Whatever that means for your family.'Best of SheKnows Bird Names Are Soaring for Gen Beta Babies — & These 20+ Picks Are Sweet, Strong & So Unique These French Girl Names Are Soft, Sophisticated & Seriously Stunning All the Pregnant Celebrities Who Showed Off Their Baby Bumps on the Red Carpet Solve the daily Crossword

NFL star and his designer wife gave their mansion to HGTV for a surprise makeover... and were stunned by the results
Kyle Juszczyk and his wife Kristin were left genuinely speechless after HGTV star Galey Alix completely transformed their Californian mansion in just a few weeks - despite being dubious as to whether reactions on her show were real. The husband-and-wife had reached out to Galey, who is the host of Home in a Heartbeat, to overhaul their sprawling 4,300 square feet home on the West Coast – and they were blown away by the results. In a video shared by the interior designer in April, she revealed that she was given the kitchen, the primary bedroom, primary bathroom and living room to secretly makeover. And, to complete the project, 31-year-old Galey moved into the home so that she could carry it out. The TikTok clip showed the grand reveal, with Kyle, 34, and Kristin, 31, truly surprised by the results. 'They told me that they really had so much faith and trust in me, which made me feel amazing,' Galey later told People. 'But it didn't stop my hands from shaking. But when they opened their eyes, their expressions were priceless. 'They were just so shocked — Kristin kept saying, "I knew this was going to be good, but this is so much better than I thought." 'Kyle was like, "I was worried for you because you were hyping this up so much. I thought, if I were you, I'd try to under-promise so I could over-deliver." 'But after the reveal, he said, "Now that I see it, I understand."' Kristin added: 'I honestly, genuinely thought, there's no way she actually does surprise renovations. Who's crazy enough to do that? 'So when Kyle and I were texting with her, and eventually had a meeting, the first thing I asked was, how real is this actual surprise renovation? And she said, no, it's a complete surprise.' Like Kristin and Kyle, stunned social media users also couldn't believe Galey's magical transformation and admitted they were left with dropped jaws. Taking to the comments, one said: 'Your eye for design is impeccable!! I love it so much.' 'The way my jaw dropped in every room,' another said. A third continued: 'Amazing transformation!' 'You are so talented!' a fourth praised. 'I have been watching you since the beginning and you never cease to amaze me!' 'The kitchen and bathroom BLEW ME AWAY,' another wooed. A sixth added: 'Unreal transformation. You are truly the best.' Kristin and Kyle bought their home eight years prior, when the NFL pro first signed with the 49ers. While they had always planned to renovate, the project was forever put on hold until their kitchen flooded. Galey was inspired by the 'Pacific cozy' vibe for the project and understood that the couple wanted their mansion to feel like Northern California. Kristin first approached Galey for the project after the pair connected via Instagram. Shedding light on the early days of their friendship, Galey said: 'When I saw she was following me, I thought, okay, I have to DM her and tell her how amazing she is. 'She wrote back saying, "Oh my God, I watched your show! Kyle and I watched the whole thing—we loved it. I've been following you forever."' The hit it off instantly and Kristin decided to ask her new friend if she would ever consider taking on a renovation project outside of her native Florida. 'In my head, I was thinking, that's terrifying because I rarely do projects outside of Florida, but I was so impressed by her, and they're such a cute couple, I just thought, you know what? Let me try it. I'm going to go big,' Galey added to the publication.

I bought an abandoned house – everyone said we'd made a mistake, the jungle of ivy is just the beginning
A COUPLE has bought a house that was abandoned 16 years ago, despite being warned it was a huge mistake. Bekah and her partner got the keys to their first home, they knew they'd taken on a big job, but nothing quite prepared them for the full-blown jungle waiting outside. 2 2 The property, left abandoned since 2009, had been completely overtaken by ivy, weeds, and years of neglect. From a driveway you couldn't park on to a mystery green mass growing through the house, it looked less like a dream home and more like something out of a horror film. But instead of running for the hills, Bekah grabbed her phone and started filming. Posting under her new TikTok page @BekahBuilds, she's documenting every step of reviving the derelict house 'on a first-time buyer budget'. Her first video has already racked up thousands of views and comments from fans cheering her on. In the now-viral clip, Bekah gives viewers a tour of the wild garden, complete with tangled ivy climbing up the walls and trees literally growing into the roof. She said: 'You couldn't even see the windows at first." She calls it "cute cottage vibes" but worries "it's just taking over.' As she pans across the overgrown mess, she reveals the full extent of the problem, which includes fence panels missing in action and so much greenery they had to call in the professionals to tackle day one. Bekah says she got a quote for the garden clearance. trimming back the ivy, removing overgrowth from the roof, tidying the weeds, and clearing access to the fence. Chloe Sims gives fans a tour of her huge new LA apartment after months spent searching for perfect home The massive job is going to set her back £500 as she was told it would be a full day's work by two people. Bekah asked her followers if they thought it was reasonable, captioning the video: 'It's a huge job, should we have done it ourselves?' To some, that might sound steep but Bekah's fans claimed she'd landed herself a sweet bargain. One user said: 'That's a great price. Imagine the work." Another added:. '£500? That's literally a steal! Take it!'. A third said: '£500 is amazing, go for it." Despite the wild start, Bekah's not backing down. With just three videos on her account so far, she's already gained 43,000 followers, all eager to watch her bring the forgotten home back to life and learn a thing or two about renovation on a budget. From ivy invasions to fence fiascos, it's already shaping up to be a makeover story worth sticking around for. And judging by the state of that driveway, it's only just getting started. Meanwhile, Bekah's home wasn't the only questionable home on the property market this year. Recently a . Elsewhere, a couple have revealed that they ditched life in Bournemouth and moved to Bulgaria. Rather than breaking the bank each month on a costly mortgage in the UK, Lewis and his wife Jordan purchased a huge property for £7,000. Not only is the house massive, but it even came with 1.5 acres of land too. But social media users were left totally divided by the couple's home - while many thought it was 'beautiful,' whilst some trolls questioned their desire to live in Bulgaria. What is English Ivy? English Ivy, scientifically known as Hedera helix, is a versatile and hardy evergreen vine commonly found in gardens, landscapes, and indoor settings. Originating from Europe and Western Asia, it is widely appreciated for its lush, green foliage and ability to cover walls, trellises, and ground surfaces. Key Characteristics: Foliage: English Ivy has glossy, dark green leaves that can be lobed or unlobed, depending on the variety and maturity of the plant. Growth Habit: This plant is a vigorous climber, using aerial rootlets to attach itself to surfaces. It can also spread along the ground, creating dense mats of foliage. Flowers and Fruits: Although not commonly noticed, English Ivy produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in late summer to early fall. These are followed by black or dark purple berries, which are toxic to humans but provide food for birds. Uses: Ground Cover: Ideal for preventing soil erosion and covering large areas with minimal maintenance. Climbing Vine: Perfect for adding greenery to walls, fences, and trellises, providing both aesthetic appeal and privacy. Indoor Plant: Popular as a houseplant due to its adaptability to low light conditions and ease of care. Care Tips: Light: Thrives in partial to full shade but can tolerate some sun, especially in cooler climates. Water: Prefers moist, well-drained soil but is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Pruning: Regular pruning helps control its growth and prevents it from becoming invasive. Soil: Adaptable to a variety of soil types, though it prefers slightly alkaline to neutral pH levels. Cautions: Invasiveness: In some regions, English Ivy is considered invasive due to its aggressive growth habit. It can outcompete native plants and damage structures if not properly managed. Toxicity: All parts of the plant contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested by humans and pets. Handling the plant may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Rehab Addict' Star Nicole Curtis Lays Bare Horrors She Found Inside Disgusting ‘Crackhouse' Renovation: ‘It Was Terrible'
Historic home renovator and 'Rehab Addict' star specializes in reviving old houses that have hit rock bottom—yet even she was left floored by the horrors she discovered inside her latest property project. Curtis, 48, has rehabbed countless dilapidated homes across the Midwest over the past three decades, many of which have been featured in her hit HGTV series, which returned to screens in June after a three-year hiatus prompted by a 'setback' in the host's personal life. In the new season of the show, Curtis pulls double duty overhauling two neglected homes at the same time—despite the fact that they are located 1,500 miles apart. The first dwelling she tackles is in her home state of Michigan, while the other is in Wyoming, marking a first for the home improvement veteran. As one might expect, traveling to each of the abodes adds another layer of difficulty to an already arduous process. However, as it turns out, the distance was the least of Curtis' challenges. Because the home that she was greeted by in Detroit was unlike anything she had ever seen in her many years in the industry, proving to be in such a disgusting state that Curtis jokingly refers to it as 'the crackhouse.' In fact, of all the homes that Curtis has seen and overhauled over the years, she is quick to put the crackhouse at the very bottom of the pile. 'I say I have three bad houses on my list. We had Campbell Street [in] Detroit. That was [affected by] fire, tornado, you know, everything you can imagine,' she says. 'Then I had my hillside project in North Minneapolis, which [had been inhabited by] squatters. And we were working in 22 degrees below zero, we got frostbite. It was terrible. 'Then you come to the crackhouse. And by far, it was [the most] terrible.' Speaking to from inside the crackhouse, Curtis recalls the shocking state the home was in when she acquired it, revealing that trespassers had taken over the place and turned it into a drug den. 'We had people in here; they were squatting,' she says, before detailing evidence of their drug use. 'I mean, you had drug paraphernalia—I'm staring at a closet that we called 'the needle closet' because they just smashed a hole in the door of it and then they would pitch all their used stuff in there, so yeah, it was bad,' she shares. 'The garbage, there's a fireplace behind me, the garbage was piled up higher than that.' Beyond discarded used needles and trash that had accumulated all over the abandoned abode, Curtis reveals sanitation issues were also abundant. 'They weren't using plumbing in the bathrooms, but they were still using the bathrooms,' she explains. Those unbelievably unhygienic conditions rendered Curtis speechless. 'That alone, you know, I can get into old house dirt and stuff like that, but when you get into, like, that kind of stuff, I mean, we thought at the very least they had mechanics, right?' she says. 'Like, who lives in a [house without plumbing?] I don't know why, I was very naive.' And the Detroit dwelling's disarray didn't end there. 'There was no roof! So, like, the water was pouring in,' Curtis adds. These major problems were indeed major surprises for Curtis—particularly because she did her due diligence before buying the property, only for many issues to arise, then worsen, during the lengthy purchase process. 'You know, sometimes when I buy some of these houses, it's a long process,' she explains. 'Especially when we buy something on auction, it can take six months to a year to actually get.' Until ownership is official, Curtis has learned the hard way to leave the homes she buys alone so she doesn't risk losing any part of her investment. 'If anyone knows my history in the city of Detroit, we definitely make sure we have our deeds in a row,' she said, referencing a past experience where she lost out on a huge sum due to a deed mixup. 'So I had acquired this one, and it just was something that I'm like, 'Oh, well, we don't have the deed to it yet,' and until everything [is official], I don't put one dime into it and I don't step foot on it,' she reveals. That said, Curtis didn't expect the Detroit abode to devolve into 'an actual squatters den' during that wait time and was shocked to find out how bad things got there while tending to her other project out of state. 'I had bought this [other] house in Wyoming thinking I had plenty of time to leisurely enjoy Wyoming, and I was out there like two minutes and then we got this call,' she recalls. Curtis has since made ample improvements to the home, but admits that there is still a ways to go to restore it to its former glory. 'It's still bad! I mean, it's not as bad as [it was],' she insists. 'Our houses take years because I'm really a purist about finding authentic pieces, so it's not something you can do very fast because I have to get all these pieces.' Meanwhile, the Wyoming property presented Curtis with its own unique problems. 'Wyoming was, again, I was very naive,' she acknowledges. 'We were two hours from a major store. You forget a supply, you're like, 'I'm going to lose a whole day going back to get it.'' But whether she was dealing with logistical drama in Wyoming, or the overwhelming grunge at the crackhouse, Curtis and her longtime team relied on tried and true methods to work through any new issues at both old houses. 'You know, with any renovation, I always say you got to have patience, you've got to muddle through. 'Some of these people I've known since I was like a teenager—Not saying that there isn't some heated moments, you know? There's a lot of fisticuff moments where we work through it.' 'Rehab Addict' airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on HGTV and streams the next day on HBO Max and discovery+.
