Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines have a relationship built to last.
“No such thing as a ‘perfect marriage,’ Chip, 43, began in a Valentine’s Day tweet to Joanna, 39, on Wednesday, February 14. “For me, it’s always been simple: commitment. Every morning I wake up committed, and pray that she chooses the same. And so today, again, I choose my beautiful bride. To have and to hold . . till death do us part. #HappyValentinesDay sweet girl!”
The HGTV personalities, who have been married 15 years, revealed in January that they are expecting their fifth child. They are already parents of Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7.
As previously reported, the Texas-based couple announced in September that the fifth season of Fixer Upper would be their last. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the series was presenting a “security issue” for the family. “People drive by and like to take pictures in front of their house,” the insider revealed. “I think they just want to take a step back from it.”
Chip elaborated on their reasons for making season 5 their last during an October appearance on Today. “The most important thing in the world is Jo and I’s relationship followed very quickly by these four beautiful kids,” he said. “We didn’t want to push it, redline it for so long that we woke up and realized we are at a point of no return. We wanted to take a step back and focus on the thing that was absolutely the most important thing to us in the world.
