Kim Wolfe, who previously went by her maiden name Kim Spradlin, is an interior designer and TV show host hailing from San Antonio, Texas. She was born on January 30, 1983.

In 2011, she joined Survivor: One World, the 24th season of the popular reality TV series Survivor, and emerged as the sole winner.

After her stint on the show, she kickstarted a career in interior design upon realizing that she had a knack for it.

“My husband and I bought our first house [with the Survivor prize money], which was a 1940s home in need of total restoration. It was the first real construction project I worked on,” she shared in an interview with HGTV.

Bryan was the one who encouraged Kim to pursue interior design as a profession, and when she was tapped to host Why The Heck Did I Buy This House, they became business partners.

"I was so overwhelmed. We had these seven projects going on for the show, and I needed help," she told The List, noting that Bryan didn't hesitate to come on board despite having no prior design experience.

"He took a leave of absence for filming, and then it became a permanent situation," Kim added. "He does all the things that I am not good at, but yet [he is] scared to climb a ladder. It's a really funny mix of our personalities coming together."

Who are Kim Wolfe's kids?

Kim and Bryan have three children together, Michael Thomas, August Jane, and Walt, born in 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. Kim calls them: "The Wolfe Pack."

In an Instagram post, Kim shared about the joys of motherhood and all the things she loved about her kids.

"They surprise me a lot by being funnier, deeper, or more compassionate than I expect. I feel like just yesterday I was covered in spit up, with my double bob, and a dream of better days to come," she wrote.

"There were these annoying people that told me how fast it was going to go and how I was going to miss it, and I just wanted to poke their eyes out with a rusty spoon."

She continued: "Alas it is going fast, they are so big now and I do feel a twinge of sadness about the baby part being over."
