Brody Jenner and Tiarah “Tia” Blanco are officially married. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, July 12, in an intimate ceremony held at Brody’s mother, Linda Thompson’s, Malibu home. Around 60 to 70 guests were in attendance, including Caitlyn Jenner.
They were first spotted together in April 2022, and just a few weeks later, they confirmed the relationship with a shared Instagram post.
A year after that, in June 2023, Brody popped the question, and just one month later, the engagement, they welcomed their baby girl, Honey Raye.
The timeline moved quickly, but nothing about it felt rushed.
Well, while Brody’s name has always attracted the spotlight, Tia has been drawing eyes in her own way, from her athletic background to a professional path that includes business and wellness ventures.
So, who exactly is Brody Jenner’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Tia Blanco.
Tia’s Roots: Her Parents, Family Life, and Where Surfing Began
She was born on May 5, 1997, in Puerto Rico to Simon and Sina Blanco. Her dad, Simon, served as a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Coast Guard, which meant the family moved around a lot—living in places like Hawaii, San Clemente, and coastal Puerto Rico. That lifestyle kept them close to the ocean, and it didn’t take long before Tia found herself drawn to the waves.
By the time she was 12, surfing had gone from a childhood hobby to something more serious. In 2012, she began competing, and within a few years, she was among the sport’s rising names. She went on to win gold at the ISA Open Women’s World Surfing Championship in both 2015 and 2016.

Tia’s mom, Sina, has also been a strong influence, especially when it comes to living consciously. Sina adopted a vegetarian diet at age 12 and later became fully vegan.
Raised in a meat-loving Filipino household in Palm Springs, she credits her uncle Manny and aunt Virginia—early advocates for plant-based living—for opening her eyes to a different way of life. That mindset trickled down to her own family, shaping much of the environment Tia grew up in.
Tia also has a sister, Aja, who’s kept a more low-key profile compared to her.
She Is Also a Vegan
Tia Blanco has been living a vegan lifestyle since 2013. Her mom planted the seed early on by raising her vegetarian, but it wasn’t until Tia watched the documentary Glass Walls and read The China Study that things really clicked. From that point on, she fully embraced veganism.
Tia shares tips, meals, and daily routines with her followers online, often blending her love of plant-based eating with yoga and wellness.
What is Her Ethnicity?
Brody’s wife, Blanco, comes from a mixed background. Her mother, Sina, is of Filipino descent, while her father has Italian, Irish, and French roots.
She Is Also a Reality TV Star
Tia’s no stranger to the camera. Long before she and Brody became a couple, she’d already stepped into the reality TV world twice.
At 19, she joined MTV’s The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros, a spin-off that matched pro athletes with veteran reality stars for charity. Tia entered the show to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. She made it through a few rounds, raised $1,000, and bowed out by episode four.

In 2021, she was back on TV as a competitor on ABC’s The Ultimate Surfer. The show pulled together 14 surfers to battle it out for $100,000 and a wild card spot on the World Surf League Championship Tour. Tia came out on top, winning the season alongside fellow surfer Zeke Lau.
What Is Tia Blanco’s Net Worth?
She has an estimated net worth of $2 million, while her husband, Brody Jenner, is estimated to be worth around $10 million. She’s earned it through a mix of competitive surfing, brand sponsorships, and her own business projects.
Over the years, she’s worked with names like Reef, Sony, TCL, and J7 Surfboards. Back in 2017, she teamed up with VeganSmart to launch her own protein blend called Peaches and Cream by Tia Blanco. Then in 2022, she collaborated with activewear brand JOLYN, launching the JOLYN x Tiarah surf collection and serving as their official surf ambassador.
Besides, Tia is also an entrepreneur. She and her sister, Aja Blanco, co-founded a skincare brand called Dear Self, which focuses on clean, conscious products.
