Joanna Gaines and her husband Chip Gaines are by far one of the most popular couples on television right now. That’s because everyone loves how this cute married couple interact with each other on their hugely popular HGTV show Fixer Upper. What’s more, a lot of their fans love that they are a couple with great, family-focused values. Some even say that their “less technology and more outdoors” approach to raising their family make them a great example for others to follow. In other words, they love to live the simple life, despite their vast fortune and fame.

Plus, there’s no denying that Joanna has some great style (both in a fashion sense and of course, all of her decorating and renovating ideas). She’s got a great eye and knows what looks good and what looks like it needs to be replaced at all times. Also, her family is the most important thing in the world for her. She puts her husband and their four children above everything else in her life.

With that being said, we’ve got 15 reasons why we just can’t get enough of Joanna Gaines. Check out our list below and let us know what you think!

15 She’s Expecting Her 5^th Child

Chip and Joanna Gaines recently announced that they are expecting their fifth child together. Unfortunately, not everyone is very happy for them. The reality television couple have even been blasted for their pregnancy news on social media! You won’t even believe some of the things that have been written on their Instagram account.

Some people have written the most insane stuff, like telling Chip and Joanna that “overpopulation is killing the planet,” while others are accusing them of having a band-aid baby to save their marriage. One person even wrote, “Just means one more kid, the marriage is still broken, and now the kid has to do pay for broken marriage sex.” Yikes. So far Chip and Joanna have not responded to all of the hate and it’s doubtful that they will.

14 Exposing Their Children To The Cameras

Some people have accused Chip and Joanna of exposing their children to the television cameras for their own benefit. Critics have made the point that their children never asked to be on reality television, yet the world knows their names and sees their faces regularly because of their parents’ fame.

With that being said, Chip and Joanna are very strategic as far as what they show to the world and what they keep hidden. Yes, the kids are involved in a lot of their family projects but at the same time Chip and Joanna make a point not to over expose them too much. In fact, they are featured less and less on their parents’ social media accounts these days. The kids also rarely make any appearances on their television shows, too.

13 Her Roots And Ethnicity

Let’s face it: Joanna Gaines is one of the most beautiful women on television right now. Not only is she super talented and funny, but she’s also easy on the eyes. It’s no wonder that she and Chip are one of the most popular couples on television right now, as they make such a cute couple.

A lot of people often ask about Joanna’s ethnicity and her background. Even though she lives in Texas, her roots extend to all different corners of the world. She has said that her father is half Lebanese and half German while her mother is full Korean. Strangely though, a lot of people used to call her Pocahontas in high school even though she’s not Native American. She added that people still like to guess where she is from!

12 Joanna’s Net Worth

It’s safe to say that Chip and Joanna Gaines have made a pretty penny by showing America how to renovate their homes! As a matter of fact, they have quickly become one of the most popular couples on television thanks to their HGTV show, Fixer Upper. And it looks like all of those house renovation tips are definitely paying off for them.

According to reports, Chip and Joanna are worth $8 million dollars each. They get an estimated $30,000 per episode on their HGTV show along with an undisclosed fee from the network. Factor in their Target line, their promotional appearances, products and so on, their bank accounts are looking pretty good! Of course, let us not forget their Magnolia House and Magnolia Silos, their boutique marketplace in Waco, Texas.

11 Joanna Was Always A Hard Worker

Joanna wasn’t always a home decorator and a renovator. As a matter of fact, she had different plans for her future after she graduated from Baylor University. She and Chip almost “fell” into the line of work that they do today. But, Joanna was always a hard worker, though. Her first job was at an all-you-can-eat buffet. She even says that she still appreciates buffet lines to this very day, even though Chip has different opinions about it.

She once explained, “How many of us take the time to relive half a lifetime’s worth of happy memories, cringe worthy failures, and unforgettable adventures together? How many of us get a chance to sit down and talk about the rough times we overcame in the past or to laugh about the stupid mistakes we made when we were young?”

10 The Reason Why She Loves Magnolias

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, everything in Chip and Joanna Gaines’ world consists of magnolias. Ok, maybe not everything, but a lot of their businesses are named after it: Magnolia Homes, Magnolia Market, Magnolia House and Magnolia Farms.

Joanna says the reason why they name everything after Magnolia is because the flower holds a very special meaning for them. When she first started dating her husband Chip he would bring home blooms from Magnolia trees to Joanna. How sweet! These two definitely look like they were meant to last!

9 The Gaines Don’t Own A Television

Family time is very important for Joanna and Chip Gaines and that’s probably why they don’t own a television in their own home! Yes, they are worth an estimated $16 million dollars together, but there’s not even one screen in their house. And that’s a good thing because it means that Chip and Joanna can focus more on creating memories that will certainly last a lifetime for them.

What’s more, Chip, Joanna and their family usually head to a neighbor’s house to watch their own episodes of Fixer Upper. Ha! There’s no denying that this family has their priorities straight. It’s also no wonder that so many people look up to them too, as they set the standard for many other families to follow. Kudos to Chip and Joanna for doing what’s right.

8 She Has No Plans To Stop

Joanna Gaines is one of the busiest personalities on television right now. She’s only been on the scene for a few short years now, but she’s managed to do a lot in that short amount of time: books, television shows, accessory lines, a successful marketplace and so much more. And at the same time, she still manages to be with her kids each and every night.

Joanna puts it this way, “You sow seeds early on and work hard to be intentional and then over time you move on to new lessons and challenges. Then one day you look up and the seeds you planted in your little children's hearts are now in full bloom. Be encouraged today to keep pressing in and tending to their hearts. It will be worth it.”

7 She Loves The Holidays

Just like so many other people out there, Joanna loves the holidays. What’s more, she also does a dang good job of decorating during the holiday season, and especially during Christmas (it’s not like we would expect anything less of her). She also gets very sentimental during this time of year, too.

Joanna once explained, “This family tree gets me every time. Emmie asked why I always get so sad when we put this tree up and I told her it's a good kinda sad. I explained these memories on this tree are so sweet and time just goes by so fast. This tree is full of firsts for each of us, many meaningful ornaments, and lots of handmade who knows what. It's my favorite and I treasure this time every year.”

6 Her Family Always Comes First

Despite being one of the most in demand HGTV stars in the entertainment industry these days, Joanna has made it pretty clear that her family will always come first, no matter what. Motherhood is very important to her as she knows that her four young children (plus one along the way) need her to be present in their lives right now. And while Joanna has said that she has her up and down moments, she wouldn’t trade what she has right now with anything else in the world.

Plus, there’s no denying that her family is awfully cute! She and Chip have two sons (Drake and Duke) and two daughters (Ella Rose and Emmie Kay). Joanna once said, “Motherhood... it can be messy at times, but there is always reward and beauty to be found in the every day moments.”

5 But They Have Had Their Controversies, Too

Chip and Joanna Gaines might be one of America’s most beloved television couples, but they have had their fair share of controversies, too. And to make matters worse, they’ve tired to brush them underneath the rug, as well. A lot of people weren’t too happy when Chip put a metal gate near Magnolia Market and asked customers to park on the property for a $10 fee. If that weren’t enough, he was also slammed for illegally obstructing a neighbor’s property with his fence.

What’s more, a lot of people weren’t happy with their Target collaboration. That’s because critics argued that Evangelical Christians shouldn’t work with the department store retailer because of their policy to allow transgender employees and customers to use the restrooms that align with their gender identity. Chip and Joanna have never made any comments about the controversy.

4 Is She Homeschooling Her Kids?

One of the reasons why Joanna’s fans love her so much is that she doesn’t sugar coat anything. She tells her fans exactly how it is. Yet, if there’s one thing that she doesn’t discuss very openly, it’s how her family operates in their day-to-day life.

A lot of Joanna’s fans can’t help but wonder if she homeschools her four children at home with her. After all, the Gaines family is very much into the low-tech family-focused kind of lifestyle. What’s more, they also feel very strongly about their Christian beliefs, too. But given how busy Joanna is with her career, it’s very unlikely that she has the time to sit down and teach her four children everything from math to spelling to geography and world history. Joanna herself has never spoken about her children’s education.

3 Her Kids Don’t Have Cell Phones

Joanna Gaines might be filthy rich thanks to her creative decorating ideas, but she’s not the kind of mom who will spoil her children. Nope. She told media outlets back in 2016 that her four children don’t have cell phones and that she doesn’t plan on giving them cell phones anytime, soon. In fact, there’s a big lack of electronics in the Gaines house.

Instead, she wants them to live a “screen free” life as much as possible. She also wants to teach them that there is life outside of these devices. Instead of connecting with their friends on social media, she wants her children to connect outside with nature. She also wants them to play outside and get dirty and enjoy all of the simple things in life. Hey, you can’t argue with that, right?

2 But She Has Her Bad Days, Too

Joanna Gaines’ life might look perfect from the outside world, but it really isn’t. Of course, just like many people you and I know on social media, Joanna tends to just show her highlights reel to the world. But she also has days in which she feels like everything is falling down on her.

Joanna said, “I realized that my determination to make things perfect meant I was chasing an empty obsession all day long. Nothing was ever going to be perfect the way I had envisioned it in the past. Did I want to keep spending my energy on that effort, or did I want to step out of that obsession and to enjoy my kids, maybe allowing myself to get messy right along with them in the process? I chose the latter - and that made all the difference.”

1 What’s Next For Joanna Gaines?

It’s without a doubt that Joanna Gaines has a lot to look forward to in the New Year, including a brand new family member! Her business is booming and she and her husband have been enjoying one successful project after another. Simply put, life has never been better for the Gaines family.

And while they definitely deserve a little break from the spotlight, don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. Joanna wants to keep on going, despite all of the different projects she has on her plate. She once said, “Don’t quit, and don’t give up. The reward is just around the corner. And in times of doubt or times of joy, listen for that still, small voice. Know that God has been there from the beginning—and he will be there until . . . The End.”
