In a recent episode, she was sorting through a huge pile of mail, kind of overwhelmed by it, and then she casually says, "Maybe I'll find my next husband in this pile." And that's when I noticed that she's not wearing a wedding band anymore, and I'm pretty sure she used to. She's such a good person, I really would like to see her happy and not so beat up all the time. Me too. I once thought that she may have a special friendship with this one guy on the show who was with the sheriff's dept or something like that. She reached out and he helped them. It looked like they had a nice connection. I've missed most of the this last season, so, not sure if he's still around. How old is Tia?

I think I know which guy you're talking about, and here I thought I was the only one that sensed something there ! Yeah, he was definitely law enforcement & he was rather nice looking (I thought so! ) with grey hair ? And I'd guess about same age as Tia ? Seems to me he was sitting next to her at one of their holiday dinners too. Tia's 57 (same age as me. Heh.)

chenoa333 April 17, 2018 Share April 17, 2018 With all due respect to Tia (whom I absolutely love and respect) she is probably better off without him in her life. She has dedicated her heart, soul and lifetime commitment to pit bull rescue....she doesn't need all of the problems and emotional ups and downs that might come with having a convicted felon/husband in her life. He can move on in life too...he has nothing to lose by meeting another woman. Tia deserves a peaceful, calm life (someday...soon) 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14724-the-family-tia-and-kids/page/2/#findComment-4242390
Teri313 October 9, 2018 Share October 9, 2018 So the new season has started and we're two episodes in and no sign of Lizzie (one of the twins' wife) - who was ALL ABOUT camera time and being the face of Villalobos - or Tania and Perry. In the opening credits, there is a photo of the family, and the photo of Tania and Perry doesn't include the baby. In fact, the only family members we've seen so far are Tia, Mariah and Marcel, and M2. Just seems a little strange. What's going on with the missing family members? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14724-the-family-tia-and-kids/page/2/#findComment-4736491

Teri313 October 24, 2018 Share October 24, 2018 I don't care if the babies aren't on the show. I'd actually rather that they weren't. I don't really like putting kids on reality TV. I'm just wondering about the adults. At this point, it looks like Perry is the only one that hasn't been shown this season, and he's the one I'm wondering about. He is a recovering heroin addict, and Tanya was credited for helping him clean up his act. Then they both became anorexic (my opinion), and I really felt like he fell off the wagon and took her with him. So when he's absent, I guess it makes me suspicious. I have some experience with this, so I'm not being judgmental - I'm calling it like I see it. I'm just hoping I'm wrong. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14724-the-family-tia-and-kids/page/2/#findComment-4777679
chenoa333 October 25, 2018 Share October 25, 2018 (edited) Tanya definitely became very skinny/unhealthy looking. Tia has been looking very worn down too. However, animal rescue does take its toll on people in many ways....physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically. Although I wish all of them well, I just hope this show stays on point with their purpose of rescuing animals. I also hope Tia has a plan set in place in the event she passes away.

MonicaM October 25, 2018 Share October 25, 2018 After I had my first son, I got so sick and tired of the extra weight from pregnancy/nursing that I dieted down to a ridiculously low weight. I kind of assumed it was the same with Tanya, but now I'm wondering if there's something else with the weight loss. Hope not. On the one hand, life is stressful for all of us, and I can see where it would be tempting to turn to substances to help with that. Particularly if it's been a problem in the past. But on the other hand, since she's on television, Tanya might have heard/read comments about her weight and felt pressure to lose those baby pounds too quickly. Or she was just tired of feeling too heavy. When Tia fell and injured her leg, she was out of commission for, I think she said, about six months. The rescue went on pretty much seamlessly in her absence. Her family seems to be in it for the long haul, and appear to be just as dedicated and hardworking as Tia, so I think there should be no worries about what would happen if she retired or passed away. I doubt she'll ever fully retire, but watching her in some of those rescue scenes makes me hope she mostly leaves the field work to the younger crowd. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14724-the-family-tia-and-kids/page/2/#findComment-4781635

After the issues with nutty people bothering them, and the woman who tried to run over Tia, they've really cut back on public events. I think they are doing limited tours at the rescue, but I'm not sure they're still doing even that after someone tried to sue them for an accident on the premises.

I'm more surprised with older, easily identifiable kids than with babies, who all look alike. I suspect we'll see less of the baby as he ages; if Lizzy is breast-feeding, she pretty much has to have him with her all the time, but later she can be more selective. Then again, people plaster their kids' photos all over social media these days, so if they're of that mindset, it may not bother them to have the kid filmed. We've seen a fair bit of M2's kid, but nothing that will embarrass him when he's older.
