Delaine

After 16 years on your TV screen as a trusted evening anchor and investigative journalist in San Antonio, Delaine has traded the news desk for dream homes - still telling stories, but now through architecture, design, and the people who bring spaces to life. Her heart for service hasn’t changed; it’s just found a new setting. Real estate lets her combine her passion for helping others with her love for fine design, and she’s never felt more at home.

A proud Longhorn, Delaine graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Journalism (Class of ’94 - Hook ’em!). She’s also the proud mom of two brilliant daughters: Layla, a civil engineering major at UTSA, and Malea, an advertising student at UT Austin. She’s been happily married for more than 25 years to Shad Shafie - a structural engineer, photographer, and former Texas Longhorn football player.

Delaine’s roots run deep. She’s the daughter of the late Jerry Mathieu of Corpus Christi, an electrical engineer, and the late Marilen Henry of Caracas, Venezuela - a creative force in the world of art, jewelry, and interior design. That balance of logic and artistry lives on in Delaine's approach to business and life.

In 2023, Delaine’s world shifted when her daughter Layla was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It was a terrifying chapter - but thanks to her amazing oncology team at MD Anderson and countless blood and platelet transfusions, Layla beat the odds. She’s now cancer-free!

Delaine serves as Vice Chair of Outreach on the Board of Directors for the South Texas Blood & Tissue Foundation, working to raise awareness about the life-saving power of blood donation. If you’re able, please consider donating blood, platelets, or plasma. You never know whose daughter—or son—you might save.

On behalf of Delaine and her family, thank you!
