Lisa Marie is no stranger to the home renovation world where her husband and father-in-law work. She teamed up with her husband for a video series called Holmes at Home, where they shared DIY tips, from creating the perfect at-home garden to answering viewers' questions to give them the best solutions to spruce up their homes. Lisa Marie has also made cameos on Mike Jr.'s shows.

"It is so easy to get distracted and miss out on the small, fleeting, and precious moments. Never underestimate the effect that listening to your partner has," he told HGTV. "Life is short, and when you find the person that you decide to spend the rest of your life with, seize the day, make the memories, and be present for all of it."
Here is everything to know about Mike Holmes Jr.'s wife, Lisa Marie Holmes.
Lisa Marie owns a business
Lisa Marie is a fan of doing DIY projects with Mike Jr., but her passion and career are in the health industry. She describes herself as an herbalist, pilates instructor and holistic mother.
She owns a company called L'AB Studio and Clinic, where she teaches fitness classes and sells health food, including her own fresh squeezed orange juice. She also created a signature collection of 22 herbs and helps customers build their own blends to fit their needs.
In October 2024, she announced that she would be selling the building that houses L'AB Studio and Clinic in her first YouTube video. She said, "After three years of owning, running, and managing my holistic health clinic, we decided to put it for sale. With baby number two on the way and I'm chasing a toddler around, it's been really really challenging."
They met as teenagers
Mike Jr. and Lisa Marie are both from Canada. They first met as teenagers and it was love at first sight for Lisa Marie.
"I remember it so vividly," she told Hello! Magazine. "At 18, I said to him, 'I think you're going to be the father of my children one day.' "
He felt the same way about Lisa Marie. "Lisa always had a special place in my heart," he told the outlet. "People who have known me the longest know that. I would light up whenever I saw her. I knew I was going to marry her."
While their relationship as teenagers was brief, they later came back together. After reconnecting, it was clear to them both that they would get married.
"We're best friends. We always make sure we have fun, first and foremost," he said. "We don't hide anything from one another and are both pretty easy going. We could have eloped and been happily married. As long as we're together, that's really all that matters."
They married in 2017
Mike Jr. proposed to Lisa Marie on a trip to Ottawa, Canada, in 2016. The sweet moment was captured for the show Holmes and Holmes. He planned a romantic proposal, starting with a trip to the farmers market, a couples massage and a manicure for Lisa Marie. When they finished the day at dinner, he had a surprise: he rented out a restaurant for the two of them and popped the question.
They married the following year in an outdoor ceremony with a secret garden theme.
"When Michael proposed to me, that's the moment I felt married. I was thinking the wedding is going to be a party and a celebration of love with everyone," Lisa Marie shared with Hello! Magazine. "But after having all of our friends and family acknowledge our marriage, I woke up the morning after our wedding feeling different. It's a cool feeling."
Mike Jr. and Lisa Marie are parents

"We had the most powerful home birth experience. A story which we will soon share," the caption read. "She is everything we ever dreamed of and more. We've spent the last 8 days completely consumed by her and we are so in love with our new life as parents."
