Everybody Is Loving Jeremiah Brent on 'Queer Eye' — When He Cries, We Cry!
We are holding design space for Bobby Berk and Jeremiah Brent.

Fans of Queer Eye were understandably nervous about the cast shakeup following the departure of Bobby Berk, the show's beloved designer. We've been hanging with the same magical team since the show premiered in 2018. Bobby became a fan favorite almost immediately due to the thoughtful touches he put into all of his redesigns.
Who can forget Bobby fashioning a quilt from t-shirts that previously belonged to the late father of one of the hometown heroes?
Without Bobby, fans were left wondering if the Fab 5 would flop. Then in 2024, it was announced that designer Jeremiah Brent of HGTV's The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project, which he hosted with his husband Nate Berkus, would be stepping in.
Obviously, some folks were predictably weird about it until the show actually premiered in December 2024. People are crying with joy almost as much as Jeremiah Brent cries with joy on the show. Let's take a look at the best reactions on social media.
Most reactions to Jeremiah Brent on 'Queer Eye' involve tears. The good kind!
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." - Washington Irving
Precious, but not in a Gollum kind of way.
"We only have one life, and it is very precious, and there's a lot we can do, and there's a lot we should do." - Selena Gomez
He cries, we cry, we all cry for Jeremiah on 'Queer Eye'!
"Every time he cries I cry, and he cries all the time!' - TikTok user @moonmaroonasmr
It's a canopy bed, not a can'topy bed.
Is that an iceberg ahead because Queer Eye fans are getting absolutely wrecked by Season 9. It's mostly Jeremiah's fault. This is a compliment!
To compare is to despair.
"Please don't compare me to the best player of all time. Let me do my own thing." Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals
This is a safe space for the word "sanctuary."
"I am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life." - Lady Gaga
This is a Jeremiah stan account.
"I have my name, and I have a growing fan base, so I'm gonna do whatever I want." Lil Nas X
Move over Antoni, there's a new cryer in town.
We regret to inform Antoni that he is no longer the king of tears. Jeremiah Brent has dethroned him as the moist-eyed monarch of this gorgeous Queer Eye land. Grab a tissue and bend the knee!
We are holding space for Bobby and Jeremiah.
We've seen, this week, people are taking episodes of Season 9 of Queer Eye and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that. Please don't ask us where we saw this.
It might have been online or perhaps it was just a couple of friends. Regardless, space was held! And by that, we mean design space.
