Alison Victoria Victoria Was Once Luke Harding’s Wife

Victoria was once a Mrs when she married an insurance agent named Luke Harding. Surprisingly enough, the famed interior designer first met Luke on an online dating site in 2011. They embarked on a date and found out that they synched well. The pair subsequently commenced a relationship and got engaged in 2013.

Recalling how it all went down, Victoria stated thus “Luke proposed during our midnight picnic and said he wanted to wait for this night because it was his parents’ 34th wedding anniversary, and their marriage was something he wanted with me.” Victoria and Luke tied the knot in 2013. Their marriage produced a daughter whose name has been withheld from the media. The pair lived an enviable family life before it all came crashing down.

Why Alison Victoria and Luke Harding Divorced and Who Is She Dating Now

This has been the question on the minds of everyone who is a fan of the TV personality. Her split from her ex-husband Harding was so quietly done that in 2019, some reputable online publications still thought that she was married to Harding, but that is clearly not the case.

The first time it surfaced in the media that Victoria was no longer with Harding was in late 2020 when People wrote an article on her separation from her co-star and business partner Donovan Eckhardt who was fondly referred to as her “work husband” (P.S they were just business partners and never married in real life).

As People reported, the split was as a result of Eckhardt cheating her out of the profits of their business. The article gave a hint on Victoria’s new marital status when it revealed that she got through the rough patch in her business with help from her “longtime boyfriend” Michael Marks. While this publication was made in 2020, describing Victoria’s new boyfriend as “longtime” means that her marriage to Harding had long been over.

A separate publication by Chicago Tribune also revealed that Alison and her boyfriend Michael Marks has been together no later than 2017, the year the publication says they bought a piece of land in Bucktown for $660,000 on which they built their 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom brick-and-limestone home. The property was listed for sale in September 2020 at the asking price of $2.3 million.

Alison Victoria has been very quiet about her love life and though she maintains some level of activity online, she never posts about her relationship, hence making it difficult to access more details about the new man in her life, Michael Marks. She, however, does posts photos of herself with her brother as well as with her daughter whom she had with her ex-husband.

Her journey to becoming a reality TV star commenced in 2011 when she, alongside other Chicago-based designers, received an email asking if they would like to feature in a design show. This gorgeous lady answered in the affirmative and proceeded to mesmerize the producers with evidence of her work.

She was subsequently hired as a ghost designer for the DIY Network’s Crashers Franchise. The franchise, which includes House Crashers, Room Crashers, Yard Crashers, and Bath Crashers, basically features a crew who approach home improvement enthusiasts and offer to renovate their house, yard, room, or bath as the case may be.

Lawsuits and Fallout with Her Windy City Rehab Co-host Could Negatively Affect Her Net Worth

Alison Victoria has successfully turned her childhood dream into a profitable reality, however, her hard work over the years seems to be facing a great challenge following her split from her contractor co-star, Donovan Eckhardt in 2019 in the second season of Windy City. This came after Victoria discovered that she was not making profits from reselling homes while her co-star Eckhardt was making questionable transfers to his own personal company.

Also in 2019, the duo were slapped with lawsuits claiming construction problems from the houses purchased from them, a problem that was traced to Eckhardt who is solely responsible for the re-construction of the homes, Alison on the other hand handles only the design. However, Alison has been implicated in these lawsuits since she’s a part-owner of the LLC alongside Eckhardt. Settlements for these lawsuits as well as other business issues Victoria has faced could negatively impact her net worth. In response, Eckhardt has filed a defamation lawsuit against the producers of their show accusing them of trying to portray him as the villain.
