Here's How Hilary And David Really Met Before Filming 'Love It Or List It'

During an interview for the 10th anniversary of the show, Hilary Farr and David Valentin shared how they met. Valentin still remembers to this day the details of meeting Farr for the first time. He told TV Insider, "We met at the audition for the show. We did not know each other before that. We were thrown together by HGTV. Here we are 10 years and 200-odd episodes later."

While Valentin vividly recalls the moment they met, Farr has very little memory of their first meeting. In her defense, she was paired with a lot of Realtors at the time. She said, "Once I was chosen as 'Love It or List It's' on-air designer, I was paired with a few Realtors [as potential costars]. I had my eye on a tall, dark-haired guy with blue eyes, but David beat the competition, and the rest is history. We were put together like an arranged marriage."

Needless to say, the two clicked, and they attained massive success through the show.
