ATLANTA, GEORGIA: HGTV's 'Battle on the Beach' star Ty Pennington, a multi-talented American television host, artist, carpenter, author, and former model and actor, has captivated audiences with his design prowess. His journey to fame began on the hit show 'Trading Spaces' on TLC where his carpentry skills stole the show.

Behind his success stands his supportive wife, who hails from Canada. Despite a significant 24-year age gap, their love continues to flourish, showcasing the power of their bond. Together, they inspire others to pursue their passions and create a life filled with love and creativity. The couple met a decade ago before they tied the knot. While they started their journey as a couple during the pandemic, they have been inseparable ever since. Ty often keeps posting beautiful moments from their life on his Instagram. 

Who is HGTV's 'Battle on the Beach' star Ty Pennington's wife? 

Kellee Merrell, 34, was born on June 6, 1988, in Vancouver, Canada. With a background in digital art and an unrivaled reputation as a talented social media manager, Kellee's career has soared. Though she curates other people's feeds, she herself is absent from public social media accounts like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. But her elusive online presence does get the spotlight occasionally when her husband Ty posts pictures of them. Their love story began in 2010 when Kellee worked in Toronto, and their honeymoon escapades took them to the illustrious Art Basel in Miami, where they explored art galleries, museums, the Miami Beach Edition hotel, and the iconic Versace mansion.
