Mika Kleinschmidt, born March 30, 1982, is an American realtor and reality TV star. In addition, she is a real estate developer and interior designer.
She came to fame as the host and producer of the renowned HGTV show 100 Day Dream Home. Besides that, she has also appeared in another HGTV show Rock the Block — she was the winner in season 2.
Appearing alongside the Tampa realtor on these shows is her lovable husband Brian Kleinschmidt — an actor, entrepreneur, and home designing expert. Here is a look at the couple’s relationship and the family they have built!
Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt were high school friends
Mika and Brian first met each other while they were studying at the same high school. However, these two weren’t like other couples who were high school sweethearts. Instead, their initial story ended as friends only.
After high school ended, Mika and Brian stayed out of contact due to their respective works for around a decade. But, as fate would have it and they were meant to meet again, they got in contact again in 2011.
When they got reconnected, they went out and sparks flew — they officially began dating. And around four years after they started their relationship, they deemed it perfect to take their togetherness to another level.
On October 10, 2015, Mika and Brian walked down the aisle to share the wedding vows. Their marriage ceremony was an intimate one attended by close friends and family only.
Since their marriage, the happily married couple has always stayed together. And when they began working together, their bond became even stronger. As of now, Mika and Brian have been married for more than six years.
Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt raise a daughter
Not only Mika and Brian have been wonderful spouses for each other, but they also have been amazing parents to their daughter Jade. The couple could be seen spending some lovely time with their daughter.
However, many might not know that Jade isn’t Brian’s biological daughter — she is Mika’s daughter from her previous relationship. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean Brian doesn’t love Jade as his own child.

And not only Brian, but his family also treat Jade well and regard her as their own granddaughter. For instance, on her Instagram post of October 2020, Mika shared a picture of her daughter alongside her in-laws.
She captioned the picture by writing, “Family is everything. Jade is so blessed to have such a big blended family and a great group of role models that love her!”
Similarly, Brian hasn’t backed off from showering love for his stepdaughter on social. While sending birthday wishes to Jade on February 23, 2020, he posted a series of clips and pictures taken alongside Jade.
In the caption, he wrote, “Happy Birthday to the best thing that has EVER happened to me! Thank you for 11 years of incredible memories.” Brian then said that he is honored to be Jade’s “Bonus Dad” and he loves her more than anything.
More recently, on Christmas Day 2021, Brian shared a picture with his wife and daughter. And in the caption, he referred to the two ladies in his life as the “best 2 Christmas gifts” he could ever ask for.
Both Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt were formerly committed
Before Mika and Brian got reconnected and eventually got married, both of them were separated from each other for around 10 years. And during that time, they were in a relationship with their respective now-former partners.
Talking about Mika first, she was in a romantic relationship with a man whose identity or details has been kept undisclosed. During that relationship, she gave birth to her daughter Jade on February 23, 2009.
As for Brian, he was previously married to former Miss America 2004, Erika Dunlap, from 2007 to 2011. In 2014, the former Shark Tank entrepreneur told Herald-Tribune that he and Dunlap parted ways because she was going through personal things and wanted a break from everything.
