Is David Bromstad Married? Everything to Know About the Hgtv Host's Partners and Personal Life
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Bromstad’s most enduring and publicized romance began long before his cable television fame peaked. He met former police officer Jeffrey Glasko on Valentine’s Day in 2004 at a singles mixer hosted at the Firestone club in Orlando, Florida. The two quickly formed a deep bond, eventually moving in together and sharing a home life across Miami and Orlando for more than a decade.
The relationship dissolved in 2015, ending on bitter terms. Following the breakup, Glasko filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Bromstad, alleging common-law support agreements and accusing the HGTV host of misusing shared funds. The litigation exposed raw personal grievances to the tabloid press. A Florida circuit judge reviewed the filings and dismissed Glasko's claims with prejudice, ruling that the allegations lacked legal merit. Despite clearing his name in court, the ordeal took a visible emotional toll on Bromstad, who largely pulled back from discussing his dating life in public forums.
