David Bromstad is ready to settle down with an ideal husband
The openly gay HGTV star is known for keeping his personal life out of the spotlight. David Bromstad has not been confirmed to be dating anyone, but he thinks it is time to leave the eligible bachelor title behind. In a rare comment about his love life, the TV personality said in a January 2025 Instagram video:
I need a husband — Actually, I don't need a husband, I simply just want one. Someone who has a private jet would be ideal.

Bromstad was in a long-term relationship with Jeffrey Glasko
David started dating former Miami cop Jeffrey Glasko in 2004 after meeting in Orlando, Florida, at a singles' party. When the TV personality established his company, David Bromstad LLC, in 2010, he made Glasko the Chief Operating Officer. The couple broke up in 2015 after dating for over a decade.
Jeffrey Glasko and David Bromstad's relationship had a bitter end. The former police officer sued the HGTV star for breach of an oral cohabitation contract and partition of the home they shared in Miami. Jeffrey filed the civil lawsuit like he was Bromstad's spouse during the time they lived together.
According to In Touch Weekly, Glasko alleged in the court documents that David's life of partying after fame left him 'emotionally and financially devastated.' The HGTV star denied all the allegations made by his ex-partner. A Miami-Dade County circuit court judge ruled in David's favour twice, in 2015 and 2017.

David Bromstad wants to be a dad
The My Lottery Dream Home host has been working with kids, first as a Disney illustrator and as a designer for kids' rooms. Most of his tattoos are also dedicated to Disney characters. While talking to the Star Tribune in April 2019, the Minnesota native said fatherhood is in his future and was close with his sisters' children.
I would love to have kids myself, but I need a boyfriend first — being single has served its purpose. I'm ready to settle down and have that regular life — or as regular as my life can be.

David is happy to represent the gay community on HGTV
The former Disney illustrator has been a vocal LGBTQ+ advocate for years. During his June 2021 appearance on the HGTV Obsessed podcast, he shared that he felt accepted by HGTV when they signed him as an openly gay host. He admitted to being nervous when he started, but was glad that he came out during the Design Star competition in 2006.
I was like, 'I'm not playing it straight. I'm playing it me'...And that was so liberating. Usually, TV will either break you or make you, and that made me, because I was now being my authentic self and being celebrated by the network by being that person. And that was the start of everything.
In October 2024, David was named a Grand Marshal for the Come Out with Pride parade in Orlando, Florida. He told WESH 2 that he was honoured and excited to represent Orlando, which has been his home since he graduated from college.

David Bromstad found his dream house
In April 2021, David secured a $950,000 home in Orlando, Florida, which was featured in a special episode of My Lottery Dream Home: David's Dream Home on HGTV. The Tudor home features five bedrooms and four bedrooms with a backyard and outdoor kitchen. In a July 2021 interview with Realtor, Bromstad shared that he plans to give the house a personalised touch.
This is the first time in my entire life that I'll be able to flex my own creative muscles. This is the first house I've owned on my own. With all my other houses I had a partner, so there was always a second opinion...It's going to be delicious, tasteful, bold, but yet really comforting — I can't wait.
