If you weren’t already, you can let yourself get excited. The last few weeks have seen a slow, steady drip of news about Magnolia Network, the Gaines’ newest venture. But now we’ve gotten confirmation about the real deal: Chip and Joanna’s new show, which appears to have started production in earnest. To say that anticipation…
The Gaineses have officially met the First Lady of Home Decor, and things maybe could have gone smoother. Chip and Joanna and Martha Stewart met for the first time at the TIME 100 Gala last night; the most famous couple in HGTV history was being honored for their rise to media powerhouses, thanks to the…
In one sense, the official news of the Chip and Joanna Gaines cable network — which will almost certainly be called “Magnolia TV” or something close to that, but for now has no name — is a bit anticlimactic. We knew last year after Chip and Joanna went on The Tonight Show to announce their…
Fixer Upper stars and HGTV icons Chip and Joanna Gaines just announced their big return to television. Only it’s not just another season of the show that made them famous: the couple is getting an entire network to themselves. While this is huge news for fans of the Magnolia lifestyle brand, there’s still one important…
Congratulations are in order for the First Couple of home renovation as Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines have welcomed their fifth child! “And then there were 5,” five-time pop Chip tweeted early Saturday morning. “The Gaines crew is now 1 stronger! 10 beautiful toes and 10 beautiful fingers all accounted for, and big…
Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines are being called out for allegedly neglecting their children in favor of their business interests in a new post that seems to be going viral thanks mostly to how strange it is. (And before going any further: Yes, we know we’re a little behind with this story. Fortunately,…
Chip Gaines’ first-ever marathon is in the books — and the Fixer Upper star did himself pretty proud with the result. After he and Joanna bid farewell to their über-successful HGTV show, Chip set himself a goal of completing a full marathon, then went ahead and organized one in Waco after finding out the city…
Chip and Joanna finished filming Fixer Upper‘s final episode some time ago — but when will the episode actually air? HGTV has been very hush-hush about the event; fortunately, thanks to our crack squad of TV detectives, we’ve been able to pinpoint the exact date. (We think.) The only reason for our hesitation is we’re…
The gender of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ fifth child has been revealed! The happy father announced what he and Joanna are having via Twitter in his usual goofy way. In a post-Fixer Uppertweet, Chip shared the gender reveal with a new friend, one he met through @tebowfoundation. “Alright, alright,” Chip began. “If we’re going to…
With Fixer Upper heading into the final episodes of its final season, Chip and Joanna Gaines’ HGTV contract is getting increased attention from TV producers and gossip hounds alike.

Now that Joanna Gaines has entered her second trimester, the Fixer Upper star has begun to share a bit more about her pregnancy, even as Joanna takes more control over how and when that information gets covered. She teased the first official Joanna Gaines baby bump photos this week — though you might have a…
Though Chip and Joanna Gaines are known for telling heartwarming stories, the Fixer Upper Copp family episode might be the most feel-good of them all. The “new direction” for Fixer Upper that Chip teased with his New Year’s “Revelation” blog post a couple of years back has certainly been bearing fruit in Season 5: he…
Joanna Gaines’ net worth has exploded over the past two years, thanks in part to a five-fold increase in her appearance fee. The inadvertant disclosure came as part of a back-and-forth between the Fixer Upper star and the lawyers trying to get her to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit involving her furniture company;…
Fixer Upper‘s Joanna Gaines shocked and delighted her millions of fans when she announced her fifth pregnancy. But when is Joanna Gaines’ due date?

The first couple of HGTV just dropped a huge, genuinely shocking announcement: Joanna Gaines is pregnant with her fifth child!

Now that Fixer Upper is airing its final episodes, Joanna Gaines is dropping more and more hints about how the show actually works. Not long ago, she gave a detailed explanation of how she stages each home the night before the big reveal, including how much of the furniture and furnishings are the family’s own…
As Chip and Joanna Gaines have become more popular, so too have the many absurd rumors and outright fake stories about their plans. Case in point: ever since they announced that Fixer Upper Season 5 would be their last, searches for the question “Are Chip and Joanna leaving Waco?” have spiked–despite the fact that the…
After five years, five seasons, and more fans than they ever thought they’d find, the Gainses are officially done with Fixer Upper.

Believe it or not, one of the most frequently asked question about HGTV’s smash hit Fixer Upper is a variant the most popular question asked about the show: Are the Fixer Upper houses staged? (The most popular, of course, is whether or not the people on the show get to keep the furnishings–click here for…
After months of impatient waiting and fun speculation, we finally have an answer to the biggest question in home renovation entertainment: When is Fixer Upper Season 5 coming on? Before I give you the details, though, I feel I should apologize. Devotées will recall that months ago, in one of our Season 5 sneak peeks,…
Chip and Joanna Gaines are still overseeing a steady, breathtaking expansion of their Fixer Upper empire. In the past year and a half alone, their major projects included Hillcrest Estate, the second Magnolia B&B; Magnolia Realty, their Fixer Upper-inspired, Texas-wide real estate agency; the official Magnolia magazine, and Chip’s very own memoir. And, if we…
We’ve now heard three different reasons for Fixer Upper cancelled, and the third is simultaneously the most understandable and alarming of all. First came Chip and Joanna’s official announcement, in which the pair said they simply needed “to catch [their] breath for a moment.” Given that the past three years have seen them become the…
Chip and Joanna Gaines decided to end Fixer Upper, their massively successful, HGTV-defining home renovation show, in part because they wanted to spend more time with their children and extended family and in part because of creeping concern for their own safety. That’s the takeaway from a pair of new reports–one of which cites Chip’s…
This story is going to sound like the kind of fake news Joanna and Chip Gaines have both laughed off and written blog posts about; unfortunately, it’s true: the Gainses are pulling the plug on Fixer Upper, their massively successful, genre-defining HGTV show, after five seasons. The couple shared their official Fixer Upper ending announcement…
The latest Fixer Upper update in the run-up to Season 5 is another big one. It turns out that Chip and Joanna’s long-standing plan to Gaines-ify the entirety of Waco is about to get a bunch more helping hands, as Joanna Gaines’ sister has moved to town with her family and will feature in a…
Speaking of Texans deciding to help each other out, here’s a happy story out of Waco.

We’ve reached the very deadest point of summer and it’s been a hot minute since we put together an update on Chip & Joanna Gaines & the Fixer Upper crew, so we thought we’d marry those two sad facts and make a happy baby. And it turns out that right now is a pretty good…
It’s been two years since Chip and Joanna Gaines announced their Magnolia House bed & breakfast; since then, the B&B has been so hard to book that it’s basically Waco’s answer to Hamilton. (Which, coincidentally, the Gainses also got to experience at the Super Bowl this year.) So, in something of an attempt at giving…
The past few months have seen a vast proliferation of genuine fake news about HGTV’s super smash hit Fixer Upper. There are always a few made-up stories in-between seasons; this year, though, the fakery really took off thanks to the controversy involving Chip and Joanna’s Waco pastor, whose anti-gay sermons generated significant controversy for the…
For the very latest Fixer Upper Season 5 update, we need look no farther than Chip and Joanna themselves (plus the show’s production crew). The Gainses have been teasing guest stars and new possibilities for Fixer Upper Season 5 ever since filming got underway–which, as it turns out, was before Season 4 even aired its…
Fixer Upper fans were surprised last week by news of a Chipper Gaines lawsuit alleging fraud and insider trading-like tactics against the HGTV star. John L. Lewis and Richard L. Clark, two Waco-area attorneys who’ve known Chipper and Joanna Gaines since 1999, are suing for $1 million in damages after being bought out of their…
A pair of original co-founders in the Magnolia Real Estate Company have sprung a Fixer Upper lawsuit on Chip and Joanna Gaines–but the most shocking thing about the suit so far might be the fact that Chip himself offered a public rebuke via Twitter way past his bedtime. The Waco Tribune reports that John L….
Fixer Upper rumors have become something of a cottage industry in the clickbait nethersphere over the past few months. The mini-pseudo-scandal involving Chip and Joanna’s pastor’s anti-gay views seemed to represent a turning point in the way some sites approached the Gainses: since Fixer Upper is such a wholesome show, any perceived chink in the…
One of the best-known houses in Fixer Upper history is currently on the market–but the successful buyer needs more than deep pockets to seal the deal.

The fourth season of HGTV powerhouse Fixer Upper–also the show’s most successful–comes to a close tonight with a nod to Joanna and Chip’s next big project.

HGTV’s shows are normally a bedrock of good vibes and chill presenters, but the Fixer Upper scandal and Flip or Flop divorce controversy have both rocked the network in consecutive weeks.

Are any of the HGTV Fixer Upper homes for rent? It’s a question commonly asked with regard to the massively popular home improvement show.

Is Magnolia House open? Fans of the official Fixer Upper B&B have been clamoring for a chance to stay inside Chip and Joanna’s elaborate home ever since it opened, to great fanfare, late last year.

Shiplap is experiencing a serious surge in popularity in new renovation, thanks in large part to its extensive use on HGTV’s Fixer Upper. But just what is shiplap?
