Breaking news from Fab Five headquarters ? Interior Designer Jeremiah Brent is joining the cast of Queer Eye for Season 9 in Las Vegas! pic.twitter.com/tcCu762j5B— Netflix (@netflix) February 27, 2024
Brent, 39, has his own full- service interior design firm, Jeremiah Brent Design, and has built a steady career of TV credits alone and alongside his husband of 10 years, fellow interior designer Nate Berkus, 52. The couple also share two children.
Nate Berkus shared his health journey since being diagnosed nearly a decade ago.
After initially hosting Home Made Simple on OWN, Brent joined Berkus on three different home renovation shows. There was Nate & Jeremiah By Design on TLC, followed by Nate & Jeremiah: Save My House and The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project, both on HGTV.
As you can see, the pair didn’t always agree on everything:
Would you rather be: A) watching The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project or B) watching The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project? HINT: There's no wrong choice.
But prior to establishing his interior design career and becoming a husband and father, Brent was just another gorgeous, struggling twentysomething trying to make a name for himself in Hollywood.
After doing some print modeling and trying out acting by appearing in the 2008 film The Odewith Queer As Folk hunk Sachin Bhatt and Wilson Cruz, Brent got his big break thanks to the reality series The Rachel Zoe Project.
In 2008, Bravo launched the reality documentary series centered on mid-aughts Olsen Twin style guru Rachel Zoe and her two assistants, Taylor Jacobson and a then-unknown Brad Goreski.
As the Real Housewives were starting to build their Bravo empire, The Rachel Zoe Project quickly became a must-see for Zoe’s couture meltdowns, cat fights with Goreski, as well as her endless catchphrases.
“I die” and “you look bananas” were just some of literally hundreds of one-liners spewing out of Zoe’s lips in between Venti lattes.
Literally!
By the end of the show’s third season, Goreski parted ways with Zoe and the series to start his own styling business. A star was born!
Within months, Bravo pulled an All About Eve and announced they were giving him his own show entitled It’s a Brad, Brad World.
With Goreski out of the picture and The Rachel Zoe Project renewed for another season, Bravo began the search for another white twinky fashion gay to fill his Gucci loafers.
That’s where Brent and his luscious locks and fitted sweaters came in.
For season four in 2011, Brent entered the fray with aspirations of being a fashion stylist… or at least to play one on TV.
Check out his on-screen interview with Zoe that helped close the dealand ended with a diss at Goreski’s expense.
Over the course of the eight-episode season, Brent was hired, fired and then re-hired. However, it was not meant to last as he didn’t return for the show’s fifth and final season in 2013.
While Brent has gone on to have an amazing career in television and interior design, Goreski continued his dominance in the world of celebrity styling while also navigating a litany of TV projects, including Fashion Police, Canada’s Drag Face and last year’s controversial reality series The Real Friends of WeHo.
Goreski and Zoe are still not on good terms as she made it perfectly clear during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in 2021.

However, she and Brent appear to have no beef whatsoever as she willingly appeared on his podcast Ideas of Order in 2023.
