CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: HGTV is bringing an all-new renovation show, 'Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge', with surprise celebrity guest appearances. During the competition, acclaimed designer and Barbie collector Jonathan Adler will serve as head judge. Additionally, HGTV designer Tiffany Brooks will be joined by a weekly celebrity guest judge.

Interior designer Tiffany has already been an HGTV star since her big 2018 win on HGTV 'Design Star', but now, she's ready to judge. Ever since HGTV announced that Tiffany would appear as the judge for the 'Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge', fans have been interested to know more about her personal life, especially her husband, Dante Brooks.

Who is Dante Brooks?

Tiffany's husband Dante currently resides in North Chicago with his beloved family. He attended North Chicago High School. Dante is the founder and creator of Afresh Culture, a Christian streetwear clothing brand. Dante sees the company as a fun side hustle that he uses as an outlet for creativity. He started the streetwear brand in 2018. He has more than 18 years of sales experience with 8 years of that being at CDW Direct, LLC as an account manager. He has also worked as an operations specialist at Apple till 2022. Dante handles negotiation and purchase of products to be delivered to clients, as well as project management in Tiffany Brooks Interior. According to Distractify, Dante noted on a now-taken-down page on his website, “I just want my gift to bless others, all while providing people with fresh apparel that may spark a conversation about Jesus." Dante's favorite sports team is the Chicago Bulls and his favorite artist is Prince. However, when it comes to what kind of superpower he would like, Dante would prefer to go to stores and knock stuff off the shelves as people shopped.

Tiffany Brooks married her high school sweetheart

Tiffany and Dante met in the 1990s when they were both in high school. The high school lovers dated for a while before tying the knot. The couple have now been married for several years. Dante and Tiffany are parents to son Ayden Brooks. Ayden was born in August 2003 and has since been very dear to his mother and father. Ayden has also taken up an interest in his mother’s work. However, some of Tiffany’s previous social media posts suggested that he previously wasn't interested to work as an interior designer with his mother. Tiffany and Aiden both suffer from type 1 diabetes and are under constant care owing to their condition. Meanwhile, according to Tiffany's website, Dante is an important part of her business. He even has a page dedicated to his role at her design firm as the 'wingman' of the company. Tiffany noted on her website that Dante is her backup. He is there to handle any scheduling required with the trades and helps in managing the installations. Tiffany further revealed that Dante is always available on call whenever she and her clients need him. Tiffany added, "We love him because he always is smiling and his positive energy is contagious!"

'Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge' will premiere on Sunday, July 16 at 8 pm ET on HGTV.
