Jeremiah Brent on Life with Nate Berkus, Parenting, and Why He’s Taking a Break from Filming Together

Jeremiah Brent and Nate Berkus have built a life together filled with love, interior design, and television success—but Brent is pressing pause on filming more shows with his husband for now.

“We did it for so long. I need a break,” Brent, 40, told Us Weekly while promoting his partnership with Almond Breeze. “I see him every day. I mean, I would do anything with him, but to be honest with you, doing this show, Queer Eye, has changed my life.”

A New Chapter with “Queer Eye”

Since joining Queer Eye, Brent has had the opportunity to work alongside Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, and Karamo Brown—a dynamic that he says has deeply influenced him.

“It’s changed who I am as a father and as a husband, as a member of the queer community,” he shared. “So I’m happy doing this right now.”

Brent and Berkus, 53, have worked together on popular reality series, including Nate and Jeremiah Home Project and Nate and Jeremiah: Save My House. However, for now, Brent is embracing solo opportunities while still maintaining a strong and supportive partnership with Berkus.

Growing Together in Marriage

Married since 2014, Brent and Berkus share two children: daughter Poppy, 9, and son Oskar, 6. Despite a busy life balancing work and parenting, Brent says his love for Berkus has only deepened over time.

“I love Nate more now than I did from the day I met him,” he said. “The beautiful thing about our relationship and something we work really hard to protect is the idea of growing together while we both grow individually.”

He added, “I love doing life with him. It’s never boring.”

Fatherhood and Family Values

Parenting two young kids is a challenge, but Brent wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I don’t know truly why we got so lucky with the kids we have. They are so good and so smart and so kind,” he said. “We’ve got two rules in our house, which are kindness and honesty.”

Brent is also bringing his love of home and organization into the kitchen through his partnership with Almond Breeze, promoting their shelf-stable almond milk varieties.

“It’s the leading shelf-stable almond milk, which is really important, especially as a parent who’s always on the go,” Brent shared. “The fact that I can put something in my pantry and not be scared that it’s going to be bad in two days, let alone a couple months, is wild and amazing.”

While Brent is embracing new projects, one thing remains constant—his deep love for family, whether he’s designing homes or simply enjoying everyday life with his husband and kids.
