Biography

Ty Treadway was born 11 February 1967 as Tyrus Richard Treadway, to Richard and Mary Lou Treadway. Ty was the baby with six older siblings (two of them twins) and he lived in Trenton, New Jersey.

After high school, Ty received a scholarship for soccer and attended a couple of colleges before graduating with a degree in accounting. He went to work for the New Jersey State Legislature as an accountant and computer systems engineer but took part in bodybuilding competitions on the side. He eventually won the title of Mr. Natural Pennsylvania. However, Ty found his job boring and depressing so he decided to start modeling and acting. He appeared in several magazines, theater productions and commercials.

In May 2000, Ty landed the role of Dr. Colin MacIver on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live. His character was killed off after a year, but he returned as his nicer twin brother.

In June 2002, Ty pulled double duty as soap star and talk show host. He began co-hosting Soapnet's Soap Talk with veteran soap diva Lisa Rinna. See more below.

That year, he and girlfriend Monica became engaged upon the Eiffel Tower. They got married in 2003 and welcomed their first child, a daughter, Samantha Raine in February 2005. They are expecting their second child this year. All of which he has been announced on air (either on Soap Talk or at the Emmy's!!)

Soap Talk

In 2002 the American cable network SOAPnet launched a soap opera talk show called SoapTalk and Treadway became a co-host along with Lisa Rinna. He and Rinna received a Daytime Emmy nomination for outstanding talk show host alongside such shows as Live with Regis and Kelly, The View and Dr. Phil. Ultimately, they lost to Wayne Brady
.

In 2004, Treadway and Rinna hosted a TV special that pre-empted The View for one day during the 2004 summer Olympics called SOAPnet Reveals ABC Soap Secrets. This special gave scoops about what was going to happen in the near future on All My Children, General Hospital and One Life to Live. ABC commissioned this special in an attempt to keep their daytime Nielsen Ratings up during the Olympic season. Statistically soap operas lose ten percent of their viewership in Olympic years.

Treadway and Rinna received their second Emmy nomination in 2005.

Treadway has long been active in bodybuilding and often has a "Ty Training" segment on Soap Talk. In 1994 he won the "Mr. Natural Pennsylvania" bodybuilding title.

Lisa and Ty received their 3rd Emmy Nomination in February 2006!
