Since Bre Tiesi made her official Selling Sunset debut during season six, the model-turned-real-estate-agent brought both high-profile clientele and peak drama to the Netflix series. Now, she's back for more in the show's eighth installment.
As you indulge in new episodes, you may be wondering: Who is Bre Tiesi really, and how did she get to where she is today? Read on to learn everything you should know about the 33-year-old ahead, including some things you might have missed.
Her previous home turned out to be poorly built.
In 2021, Tiesi purchased a $1.8 million home in Los Angeles. During episode five of Selling Sunset’s eighth season, Tiesi revealed that she moved out of the home because it was poorly built. In the episode, Tiesi took Jason Oppenheim and Mary Bonnet’s husband Romain Bonnet (who is a project manager for the design studio White Glove Estates) on a tour of the house to assess the damage and help get it on the market. She showed them cracked ceilings and walls and peeling laminate flooring. She shared that the contractors put a new roof on top of the existing one, leading to water damage and mold. They also did a shoddy patch job on the home’s exterior. Tiesi spoke to an attorney and plans to sue the seller for failure to disclose the state of the house. The contractors also worked without permits and didn’t disclose it. “It’s clean but very inexpensively done,” Oppenheim said during the tour.
After a walk-through, Oppenheim and Bonnet estimated that it would cost Tiesi about $30,000 to renovate the home. “If Romaine can fix it up, I can sell it,” Oppenheim concluded.
Her favorite design style is modern.
A quick browse through Tiesi's Instagram, and you'll notice a few moments captured in her current and previous home (like the time she put NSFW art on display!). It's clear she gravitates toward a go-to design style. “I love the modern look with a minimalistic edge,” she told House Beautiful in 2023.
She used to love spending time in her son's nursery.
Tiesi's favorite room in her previous home was her son’s nursery. “It's done perfectly, and there's so much love and good energy that fills that room,” she said of the space in 2023. The walls are lined in a dreamy, cloudlike wallcovering. Soft gray drapery with a purple undertone, white furnishings, and a beaded chandelier complete the cozy space.
If she were to choose a second-favorite spot, she'd pick her breakfast nook. She explained, “I love to entertain and could sit there for hours!”
She loves to travel.
When she's vacationing, Tiesi is likely to be anywhere there's a beach. “My favorite spot is Bora Bora, but I also love Cabo and Miami,” the real estate agent says.
She sometimes keeps hot Cheetos in her purse.
Tiesi always has the essentials on her—and that sometimes happens to be a bag of hot Cheetos. During the trailer for Selling Sunset season seven, Tiesi asks her fellow agents, “Does anybody want a hot Cheeto?”
She proceeds to pull a hot Cheeto out of her purse and eat it while Emma Hernan observes, in shock, “You just pulled a Cheeto out of your Birkin bag!”
We can't blame her! Who doesn't want a little snack while on the go?
She was asked to be on Selling Sunset multiple times.
Tiesi turned down the chance to be a cast member on season two of Selling Sunset. When she was approached a second time a few years later, she declined yet again. She finally signed on for seasons six and seven after her relationship with Nick Cannon had been made public and she had a baby with him. “It's come full circle,” she told E! News. “I wasn't really ready. And then I decided after everything was out and I was in a different place in life that I was officially ready.”
She has a baby with Nick Cannon.
In June 2022, Tiesi welcomed a baby named Legendary Love Cannon (nicknamed Legend) with multihyphenate and father of 12 (with six women) Nick Cannon. Legend is Bre's first child and baby number eight for Nick. On social media, Tiesi shared that she had an all-natural home birth. “This experience has changed me forever and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing and supportive partner,” she wrote on Instagram. “Daddy showed the f up for us.. I couldn't of done it without you.”
Tiesi runs a separate Instagram account just for Legend that features various holiday-themed photoshoots, extravagant outings (think a Versace stroller and Nobu for lunch), and cute snapshots with Mom and Dad.
Her ex-husband is Johnny Manziel.
Tiesi was in a relationship with former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel. In March 2017, they got engaged after dating for less than a year. They wed at a courthouse in March 2018 and officially confirmed their split in March 2019. At the time, Tiesi accused him of cheating in a series of Instagram comments.
Today, the former couple appears to be on fairly good terms. During episode six of Selling Sunset season eight, Tiesi met up with him to tour a house because he reached out to her to help him buy a place in Los Angeles. There was plenty of banter along with a heartfelt moment. Overall, they seem happy for each other.
She’s protective of her family.
Come for her family, and she'll come for you! On Selling Sunset, Tiesi is very clear about how protective she is of her family. She thinks everyone is entitled to their own opinion and doesn't care what others think of her lifestyle. “People are going to love or hate my situation, and that's fine,” Tiesi told E! News. “I am not your typical, conventional type of person, and I live it loud and proud. I don't really care how anyone feels about it, but I definitely have some spice. And when you take it too far, I'm the first one to go a little too far with you.”
Her estimated net worth is likely high.
While she's not listed on Celebrity Net Worth quite yet, Tiesi's estimated net worth ranges from $300k to $6 million, per various online outlets. By comparison, Heather Rae El Moussa's estimated net worth is $3 million, Chrishell Stause's is $6 million, and former Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn's is $3 million.
She used to model.
Born and raised in Calabasas, California, Tiesi got into modeling when she was 16 years old. “I literally fell into modeling,” she told E! News. “I had never in a million years even considered or thought about it.”
Initially, Tiesi wanted to be a surgical technician. At the time, however, she was dating a guy who was in the industry, and his mother suggested that she get into modeling. She eventually became the spokesmodel of Rockstar Energy for two years and has continued to immerse herself in the modeling industry since then.
She decided to venture into real estate because she likes to try a little bit of everything. She explained to E! News: “I just wanted to branch out and really build my portfolio and I was like, 'I want to be the plug.' So I basically became the plug for everything, whether you wanted to get a house rental or you wanted to get a jet, you needed a car service, needed security, whatever you need, I made sure that I could supply that.”
She created a health and fitness series.
Tiesi partnered with OFTV to launch Elevate With Bre, a series of workout videos. “It's definitely all about elevating your life, whether it's fitness, your boss mentality, taking your power back—just all of the things as a woman,” she told E! News. “These workouts were supposed to be more empowering than intimidating and encouraging women to try things.”
She's passionate about volunteer work.
In her free time, Tiesi loves to give back to the community. Her official bio on The Oppenheim Group website reads: “She looks forward to the Westside Community Dinner and Celebration annually and gives her time and energy to other community-oriented organizations. Breana loves animals of all kinds and supports PETA and their mission to protect animal rights.”
