The Gaines Family Grows Again
Chip Gaines had some big news to share, and he did it with his signature charm and humor. “Gaines party of 7!” he wrote in the caption of the Instagram post. The photo itself was pure gold—Joanna, looking radiant as ever, was seen playfully feeling Chip’s tummy while sporting her own growing baby bump. Just in case anyone missed the memo, Chip clarified things for us all: “(If you’re still confused… WE ARE PREGNANT).”
Now, this little one will join the already adorable Gaines brood, which includes Drake, 14, Ella, 13, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7. Back in November, Chip joked about possibly trying for more babies, telling KTRK, “We had four babies right before the show started, and then we’ve had zero babies since the show started. For me, I’m really excited to go back and try to… maybe… try to make some more babies.” Joanna, ever the playful partner, responded with, “Maybe. We have different answers.” Little did we know, they were already expecting this bundle of joy!
Fixer Upper’s Farewell
Now, here’s the bittersweet part. Chip and Jo announced back in September that they’d be wrapping up their hit show, Fixer Upper, after the current fifth season finishes airing. In their heartfelt statement, they said, “While we are confident that this is the right choice for us, it has for sure not been an easy one to come to terms with. Our family has grown up alongside yours, and we have felt you rooting us on from the other side of the screen. How bittersweet to say goodbye to the very thing that introduced us all in the first place.”
It’s clear that this decision wasn’t made lightly, but it’s one that aligns with their priorities—family first. With all their ventures, including their two bed and breakfasts, Target decor line, house flipping business, and Magnolia Market, adding another baby to the mix might have been the tipping point. We totally get it, and we fully support their decision to prioritize family time, even if it means saying goodbye to the show that brought them into our living rooms.

Behind the Scenes
When Chip and Jo announced the show’s end, some fans speculated that marriage troubles might have been brewing due to the stress of the show. But looking at Joanna’s baby bump now, it seems pretty clear that they were already expecting another baby. With all their successful ventures and now a growing family, it’s understandable why they chose to step away from the show to focus on what truly matters—family. We can’t fault them for making such a brave decision, even though we’ll miss watching their adorable kids grow up alongside us.
