“I Need a Husband to Play With!” — David Bromstad’s Viral On-Air Confession Has Fans Laughing, Swooning, and Rooting for His Happily Ever After 💕

David Bromstad, the vibrant host of HGTV’s hit show My Lottery Dream Home, has long been adored by fans for his boundless energy, dazzling smile, and creative flair. But in a recent episode, the beloved designer reminded viewers why he’s one of TV’s most relatable stars — by opening up about his love life with humor, honesty, and a touch of sass that only he could pull off.

The unforgettable moment came during the “Second Time Around” episode, which aired on August 22, 2025. While chatting with a North Carolina realtor about local real estate trends, the conversation took a lighthearted detour into the topic of dating. When the realtor mentioned that many members of the LGBTQ+ community lived in the South End area, Bromstad lit up and joked, “There we go, I’m moving to South End. I need a husband to play with.”

The room erupted with laughter — and so did viewers across the country. But things got even funnier when the realtor replied, “I thought you had one.” Without missing a beat, Bromstad laughed and said, “No, I’ve been single for like 10 years.” The exchange quickly went viral after HGTV shared the clip online, amassing millions of views and sparking an avalanche of comments.

Fans poured into the comment sections, mixing laughter with genuine affection. “You’re too amazing to be single!” one fan wrote, while another joked, “I’m Gary — close enough!” referring to the mystery “Gary” name that popped up during the conversation. Others praised HGTV for keeping the moment in the final edit, calling it “pure, unscripted gold.”

Bromstad’s openness struck a chord with fans who admire how he blends humor and heart, even when talking about deeply personal topics. His last long-term relationship was with Jeffrey Glasko, whom he dated from 2004 to 2015. The two parted ways after more than a decade together, and though their split briefly turned legal, Bromstad has since focused on growth, gratitude, and laughter.

Earlier this year, he even joked in another HGTV clip, “I don’t need a husband. I just want one. Preferably with a private jet.” It’s that playful honesty that keeps fans rooting for him — not just as a designer, but as a person who’s unafraid to be himself.

For now, David Bromstad remains single, thriving, and as lovable as ever. But if social media is any indication, there’s a long line of admirers — and maybe even a “Gary” or two — hoping to change that.
