Ty Pennington is proving he doesn’t take himself too seriously with his latest Instagram video!
To start the video, Pennington shows a photo of himself posing on a bed in his younger years, shirtless but wearing a red pendant necklace and a pair of dark jeans. His hair is spiky and he’s donning a goatee beard, much like he did while hostingExtreme Makeover: Home Edition.
“Show your catfish pic vs. right now,” the text on the video reads, with a voiceover reading the message aloud. The song that plays in the background is used on TikTok for “Catfish Challenge” videos. When the beat drops, Pennington pops into the video, singing and smiling, and, of course, looking significantly older.

One way that Pennington stays young is through traveling and pursuing passion projects with his fiancée, Kellee Merrell, 33,whom he proposed to in July.
A rep for Pennington told PEOPLE at the time that the star popped the question to Merrell — a social media manager originally from Vancouver — over morning coffee on the dock of his home in Palm Coast, Florida.

“I have admired Kellee from afar for years. She’s a beautiful person inside and out,” Pennington tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Luckily our paths finally crossed at the right time. It’s one of those things where you just feel happy being around a person. I never thought I would get married, but she changed that. Glad I waited for the one.”
Pennington and Merrell recently purchased a 19th-century house together in Savannah, Georgia, and are currently renovating it into their dream home.
