Who is Misty Raney?

Misty Raney Bilodeau, the daughter of Homestead Rescue's Raney family, has always been one of the most cherished people on the reality show.

She has used her excellent agricultural and hunting skills to guide and help several families thrive in the wilderness time and again.

Even with all her exceptional skills, being a woman, she's had to endure many comments about her weight gain in the past. 

Did Misty Raney Gained or Lose Weight?

Misty's weight gain led fans to believe that she was pregnant.

While Raney's weight gain became evident from her social media posts in 2019, fans began to speculate that it may be because she was pregnant.

And when asked in an interview, she said that she just needed fuel to work. 

It’s normal for people who live off the land to put on some pounds,” she shared. “You’re working hard and your body needs fuel.” 

But her next comment, “I think I got pregnant again" added to the rising pregnancy rumors.

However, her speculated pregnancy turned out to be a hoax as her weight gain was only natural. 

In recent seasons, the extra pounds had been more or less constant, which led us to believe that she was not really pregnant at the moment. 

And there was also another rumor swirling on the internet that Misty gained weight because of her illness. Tabloids reported that Misty had obsessive-compulsive disorder and had a habit of stress eating.

Talking about her family, she has a small family of her own now.

Since 2000, the Homestead Rescue star has been married to Maciah Bilodeau, a carpenter, and surfer from Hawaii, for almost 20 years. 

They got married in a private wedding ceremony.

Misty Raney Has Solidified Her Identity as a Survival Hero 

Through the years, Raney has become a hero for her fans because of her survival skills.

Building greenhouses, processing food, turning vegetables and meat into survival food, and preparing predator-proof livestock housing to keep them safe from wild animals, are the most notable of her exceptional skills. 

Besides agriculture, Raney also specializes in smaller-scale day-to-day needs, including the construction of sheds, outhouses, fences to protect livestock from predators, etc.

As a person with such an extensive skill set, she certainly deserves to have a plethora of fans who support her every movement. And so, the fans have assuredly cheered their hero and have never shied away from openly supporting Raney with constant encouragement and praises on social media. 

As a young kid in Alaska, Misty practiced art and craft and carpeting.

Alaska keeps us tough," she said of her experiences in Alaska.
