Tyler Crispen is introducing his fiancée to the world.
The Big Brother alum, 30, revealed the identity of his fiancée Emily via a YouTube video posted Thursday, Aug. 14.
“Emmy,” with whom Crispen shares 7-month-old daughter Carter Rae, has remained off-screen despite her fiancé’s online presence following his stint on Big Brother’s 20th season.

“We’ve kept our relationship off social media for a long time — from our first date, to our first anniversary, to our matching tattoos, to getting pregnant, to getting engaged, to becoming parents,” Crispen wrote throughout the slideshow of photos.
He continued, “We kept all the good times to ourselves. Now today on this random Thursday, we decided … F*** it. Meet my fiancée.”
In the accompanying caption, he wrote, “It’s been a long time coming don’t ya think?”
In the YouTube video, Emily said she’s “over” keeping their relationship private and is happy to be sharing their love publicly. Crispen then kissed her cheek and said, “So I’d like to formally introduce the love of my life, Emily. I love you.”

Emily hails from Minnesota, she said, adding that she’s a flight attendant who’s focused on being a “full-time mama” at present. She explained that she knew Crispen was on reality TV when they met, but admitted she hadn’t watched his season of the hit series at the time.
Crispen, who was the runner-up in Big Brother season 20, was previously engaged to his castmate Angela Rummans, though they eventually split in 2022.
