The Real Reason Ty Pennington Still Hasn't Married His Girlfriend, Andrea Bock

Ty Pennington and his girlfriend, Andrea Bock, are happy together without having to get married. When you've been together for over 20 years, it's sort of silly to think a ring (or even a marriage certificate) is necessary to show that you're committed and all in. Regardless, they've been dodging questions about their intentions for what seems like forever.

Per The Hollywood Gossip, Pennington said in an interview with Parade magazine back in 2008, "Not married, but we're still together. We're definitely a team." In an interview with Star magazine, Bock backed Pennington up, saying (per The Hollywood Gossip), "We don't need to get married. We're having such a good time now."

Other than that, the couple remains pretty low-key, reportedly living together in California after fielding breakup rumors back in 2012. Pennington is very active on social media, but there don't appear to be any pictures of Bock on his Facebook or Instagram page. It looks like he spends a lot of time with his mom, Yvonne Burton, and that they are quarantining together amid the coronavirus pandemic. He also often posts baby pictures or galleries of a child on Instagram, but don't freak out — it's not his and Bock's secret kid. It's just his niece.
