Matt Hardeman, the new Big Brother contestant from Atlanta, Georgia, is a family man who proudly shares about his parents on his social media handles.
Matt is a kind and supportive individual who keeps his family and friends close. He celebrates his friends’ achievements as if they were his own.
Let’s get to know Matt’s immediate family.
Born to an American father, David Hardeman, and a Filipino mother, Matt also has a brother named Bradley Hardeman. The Hardeman men share a common bond: they all played high school football.
Matt’s closeness to his father is evident, as he has tattooed his father’s birth date on the back of his left forearm.
However, his bond with his mother is just as strong. He frequently posts about his mother and grandmother on social media, describing his mother as his constant support system.
Proud of the man he has become, his mother eagerly introduces him to her friends whenever possible.
In an interview, Matt revealed that his mother, a former news industry professional, is one of the biggest fans of Big Brother.
She moved to the United States in 1992 after marrying David, which gives Matt a deep connection to the Philippines and a rich, mixed ethnicity.
Matt’s extended family is also incredibly supportive. His cousin Cece Canterbury rallied support for him on social media when news broke about his inclusion in Big Brother.
Another cousin, Da Nics, showed her encouragement by sharing his interview on her social media.
