In 2021, Russell married Laura Richardson, the owner of SALT Island Provisions, which trades handcrafted fine goods sourced from the Florida Keys. So, will his wife be making an appearance on Renovation Impossible? While previous HGTV show hosts have shared glimpses into their personal life, Russell exclusively told Distractify that he wants to keep the majority of his "personal life personal.

Russell hasn't completely ruled out letting his family, particularly his sons Dylan and Zachary, get involved in their father's business. "I would love to have them involved," Russell stated.
