For the first time in five years, longtime HGTV star Sabrina Soto will return to the network on the just-announced series “Totally 90s House,” set to premiere on August 26, 2026.
The beloved interior designer, 49, got her television start on HGTV, hosting some of the network’s first “White House Christmas” specials beginning in 2007. She has appeared as a host or designer on eight different HGTV series since, per her website, most recently as one of the designers on Ty Pennington’s 2021 show, “Ty Breaker.”
Sabrina Soto Has Found Her Way Back to HGTV — and True Love
GettySoto was once a very familiar face to HGTV fans, hosting specials like the annual “White House Christmas” in 2007 and 2008, and the HGTV Green Home Giveaway in 2009. She was a designer on “HGTV Showdown” during those years, and hosted “Get It Sold,” per IMDb.
After being the home staging expert on “Real Estate Intervention,” she got her own show again in 2012 with “The High Low Project” and an HGTV and Food Network crossover show, “Holiday Kitchen Takeover.”
Soto quickly became a popular contributor and DIY guest on the talk show circuit, appearing regularly on shows including “Rachael Ray,” “The Wendy Williams Show,” and “The Talk.” She also appeared as a designer on iconic home improvement shows like “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “Trading Spaces.”
In addition to teaming up with Pennington for his short-lived show “Ty Breaker,” Soto was the lead designer on CBS’s “Secret Celebrity Renovation” from 2021 to 2023. In 2025, she teamed with The Design Network on a streaming series, “The Sabrina Soto Show,” which is still available to stream via Hulu and Amazon Prime.
Soto juggles her career as an interior designer, speaker, and author while being a mom to 10-year-old daughter Olivia, whom she shares with her former partner, Steve Grevemberg. Soto made headlines in 2022, when she called off her engagement to Dean Sheremet (ex-husband of LeAnn Rimes), per People. But she finally found her happily ever after in 2025, when she married MLB physical therapist Nathan Whitney.
What Will Sabrina Soto Do on HGTV Now?
