The couple got engaged in April 2018, about a year after finishing the apartment. They plan to marry this month in Charleston, South Carolina.“I think we’ll be a good married couple because we already know what that collaboration looks like,” says Brown, who split from his second wife, DeAnna Brown, with whom shares a daughter, in 2015. “Even if it hadn’t ended the way it is ending, it would have been a delightful process. I love this loft.”
