Sun Jun 29 16:20:00 UTC 2025: ## ‘Rehab Addict’ Nicole Curtis Returns to HGTV After Personal Setback, Wild Adventures

**DETROIT, MI** – Nicole Curtis, the star of HGTV’s “Rehab Addict,” is back with a new season premiering June 24th at 9 p.m., but her journey to the screen was anything but conventional. In an exclusive interview, Curtis revealed a personal setback led her back to her renovation roots and two challenging new projects in Wyoming and Detroit.

Following a difficult experience she’s keeping private, Curtis embarked on a spontaneous trip to Greece last year. A last-minute flight to Paris turned into a travel nightmare when she realized she’d left her wallet behind, but she embraced the chaos, treating it as a test and finding joy in exploring the city with limited resources.

The adventure didn’t stop there. In Paris, Curtis impulsively bought a fixer-upper in Wyoming, an 1890s property in desperate need of her expertise. Missing her connecting flight, she rerouted to Salt Lake City and drove to the Wyoming house, describing it as a case of “This house needed me and I needed this house.”

Season 9 of “Rehab Addict” will feature the Wyoming restoration and the reclamation of a Detroit home overrun by squatters. Curtis describes the new episodes as an “evolved version” of the show, harking back to the feel of earlier seasons with smaller, more relatable projects.

While familiar faces from Curtis’s crew will return, her sons will remain out of the spotlight to maintain their privacy. However, viewers will see Curtis working alongside her ex-boyfriend, Ryan Sawtelle, a carpenter who assisted with the Wyoming renovation. Curtis clarifies that their collaboration is strictly professional, emphasizing their lives are interwoven due to past closeness, and they aren’t trying to reconcile.

Despite personal challenges and a desire to keep her romantic life private, Curtis remains committed to saving historic homes and connecting with her audience. This season even includes a surprising bonus: Curtis fulfilling a lifelong dream of riding in a monster truck. Fans can tune in to see how her latest high-stakes rescues unfold.
