My sister had cancer and her words "never donate one more cent to cancer that way they will give us the cure." Cancer is so profitable they do not want it cured.

Their personalities is what made the show such a success. I began watching it and I was hooked. I learned a lot of home improvement ideas from them. Having their kids on was just a plus. They’re a great family and I wish them continued success.

[@joycestewart7227]

IT is Such A BLESSING to see a couple make THEIR RELATIONSHIP the #1 Priority above all other earthly ones!

[@patriciamariemitchel]

I don't know how many people there are like me who don't watch TV, but used to. Thank you for keeping us up to date.✔️

[@jimmieclark4638]

So glad Chip is ok and Joanna still has her love by her side and the children are not left without their dad.

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

What makes THEIR success, is BOTH of them working together.

[@susanpugh5265]

I love this couple! With them working together they bring beauty back to older homes. Love how they live on a farm& always bringing new animals home for the kids.

[@kayregulski6828]

This couple is the only couple that I watch and have watched for renovating houses. Everybody else just copies off of them. They’re good people.

[@barbaralaux9842]

[@thefamouspeopleus]

His dedication to family, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy serves as a beacon of hope for many.

[@theresaward206]

We still love them !!!

[@Jemara3]

We watch The show very often and enjoy not only the out come of homes that look unlivable come around to being absolutely beautiful. We also enjoy the chemistry and family that they show. We love watching the children grow up. Keep up the good work.

[@sharynmoffitt1372]

No matter ur opinion of his business ethics, how many "PAY IT FORWARD"? I don't call that greedy; I'm impressed...

[@catherinehartman9000]

Congratulations to the Gaines family on your successes of balancing your family, your work, your charities & your lifestyle. What a great example you have given to everyone. The importance of family, faith, charity & health can create a beautiful life! Thank you…. 😊

[@silverwings8253]

I love chip and Joanna. Chips sense of humor is what got me hooked. Who needs to watch comedy when you get home improvement and comedy all in one show. I also love the way they are dedicated to their family. Im sure its not easy to balance it alll but they show that success and family can be balanced. Keep up the good work Chip and Joanna!

[@shirleyemerson]

I love Chip, Joanna, and their children. I really enjoyed watching Fixer Upper. Chip is so much fun, the way he would fun around with Joanna made me laugh so much. You could tell how much in love they were and so happy together. I'm so proud for them. God bless you both and your kids.

[@rosemariedice3092]

They’re an amazing couple and family . Energetic ambitious and goal driven. They’ve already met so many goals! Can’t understand the people who come out so negative toward them 🇺🇸✌️Rosey

[@bettyhamilton3385]

None of us are perfect- we all make regrettable mistakes and choices in life. It is how we notice and handle these mistakes is what matters. I believe that they are God centered in the way they have corrected and orchestrated these human errors. It shows their compassion for family, God, and genuine goodness. God please continue to work thru the Gaines family to shine in a world of growing darkness, greed, corruption, and lack of morals in this ever changing world and Thank you for using them to lead others to follow in family values over $$ signs. It is usually one over the other but they always seem to choose family and God first. Thank you and God bless always.

[@tiffanyhaulotte6677]

They haven’t done anything wrong and we will continue to enjoy this family.

[@randallgschwind3799]

They Work their butts off and still show the kids a healthier and Positive Mental Awareness of their Surroundings!

The Gaines family is a good inspiration to many other family businesses and personal lives

[@guiadefrankfurtxiomarasala6379]

I see the show from Germany and I love them. The way they behave, the family and i hope all the best Chip and all the Gaynes family. ❤❤

[@sthjms]

The buyout was self-centered, but the partners weren't coerced. They were fast to sell. The lead paint incident was unfortunate, but his remedy was generous. I like them and pray they keep following the Lord Christ.

[@tomwest7050]

I’m extremely proud of what they’ve accomplished & overcome together. Think they are both extremely talented & appear to be great parents too.

Chip and Joanna are a unique couple. Their dedication to each other and their children is inspirational. I'm glad they are still moving in a positive direction and hopefully instilling a positive attitude to all that watch their channel.

[@christinat56]

They make it look easy, but it’s hard work especially in the humidity. I didn’t know he had a heart attack until now. I hope he takes it easy ❤❤❤ to them and their family.

[@Janet-b7i]

Hard work and family dedication speaks volumes for their successes.❤

[@lorioertel7703]

Love them and their brand. God has truly blessed them. What a great American family!

[@brendafulmernickel1218]

He seems like a regular human being with every effort to become a perfect Chip Gaines. We are all on the journey from Imperfect to Perfect. Other than this observation, I had never heard of either of these people.

[@jennymorrison492]

Quite an amazing story of talent, vision, hard work, and staying true to what is right and important in life.

[@LeonaBreidhaupt]

I love this couple and enjoy all that they have done. It's heartwarming to see how they love their children. I wish the whole family love light happiness and Prayer's for all they do.❤

[@joyboyd766]

Enjoyed this information. I thought they had 4 children not 5? 2 sons & 2 daughters. Really blessed couple with all their business ventures. Have enjoyed watching Fixer Upper Down Under!

[@carolbarron7431]

Chip did what most people would do facing the road they would travel. Buying out partners some times is a good thing. What if the whole thing feel apart. He would then be the only one holding the bag. How would he know that the future was going be be great. And at the time what he paid them was most likely the best price at the time. The partners are just bitter after the fact. I think he made a good move. I love them and the program, so I hope to see more of there endeavors.

[@alexandervega699]

I loved watching them and I admire Joanna so much. She is phenomenal and how she does everything is amazing.

[@erinhennessy1393]

I think that they are genuinely good people - I hope they find peace and happiness

[@SandraRouse-thames]

I have watched this couple for years and have loved their chemistry and playful work ethic. I was devastated when Fixer Upper was taken off of HGTV, Several years later I found the Magnolia Network and a fifth child. I love this couple and their shows and wish them nothing but success in all of their endeavors.

[@LisaHam-kj3sw]

They made History with their company name!!!

[@cbj4ems]

I loved the story of Chip Gaines and his family. It answered a lot of lingering questions. My wife and I still look for new episodes.

[@KLeonardM]

Love this couple and their family's. God bless them.

[@solomonageze2076]

Love the Gaines family ❤California

[@georgeguegold4927]

I Think hard working Couple I'm Happy for them!!!Very giving!!!!

[@snapdragon8610]

I've been to all the Magnolia businesses. Several times actually. I live in Austin so it's close. Waco is more like the old Austin. So I enjoy the visits. They are all amazing and wonderful! The food is great but het to the Magnolia Table early. There's always a long line. As much as I love Chip and Jo, He looks so much more handsome with shorter hair and clean shaven face. ❤

[@xrayded5037]

When you’re in the spot light everyone wants a piece of the cake period!

[@willowsoul3]

We totally enjoyed watching them on their show. I prefer putting them up on that pedestal where they belong. They’re good people. Need to leave them alone.

[@heidilanier3090]

I’ve watched you from your very beginning. It’s amazing. How will you both have done? What an opportunity in life great businesses, wonderful family and God’s love God bless you all.

[@KLeonardM]

He certainly is industrious and made a great place for Joanna to show case her talent....

[@kezzaobee1462]

Well I never knew anything about them except the show fixer upper, which I love. Both extremely talented and a love for their family. Wow so they are very wealthy and hard workers and Go Getters.

[@119pwarren]

I really like both of them . Glad Chip is doing OK now.

[@GodcallsmeBrenda]

Love love the show! That’s pretty much why I pay for cable. I know every episode and the most of the people who had home renovated.

[@florencevall8092]

Great couple and wonderful human beings.

[@kaykrause4469]

My mom and I loved that show. We watched it all the time. She is gone now and I don’t have regular t.v. Can I watch it on Paramount?

[@kaykrause4469]

He looks much better with short hair.

[@geritavares6031]

Great couple great family when you coming back to TV?

[@GailTucker-u5v]

I accidentally found fixer upper one Saturday while stopping for lunch. That’s all it took, I got my husband hooked. We were fascinated with their ideas and could relate. The show had and has such good family ethics along with their expression of faith that draws everyone. Even includes a comedy relief that this world needs. A real pleasure. Sending prayers to this couple and their family for health, success, and continued confidence.

[@glicerioumali941]

I MISSED THEM IN HGTV. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marydamico9264]

Life does not come without obstacles. Thank God that they are great partners in business and life. To them family is the most important. There lies their strength. So happy that Chip has his health Back and Joanna supports him whole heartedly. Love their bantering. The chemistry works and that the key to success. Long live the House of Gaines🙌🏽

[@wendykachel1301]

I love watching these two and their family. They are both so talented, and even though there may have been mistakes that the public/media took out of context, they do their best to make up for it by being transparent and showing ways they have made changes to that effect. I think they do a wonderful job all around and would not blame them for the few struggles they have had to go through because they are human and trying to do all this while the public eye is always on them! 🥰 Love you two talented peeps!!! 🤩 You and your family are a blessing!!! I pray the very best for you all that God will continue to bless you!18:49 💓☝️🙌

[@GeraldineRiddell]

They are an awesome couple love watching them at work.

[@patriciajohnson-whisenton7847]

Yeah! Chip get better. Chip really makes Joanna Shine!!! He really does ALL the HARD work to make things happen, even if he is STILLY. Love them both and babies ❤

[@katehepburn9544]

I love watching that show.

[@stephanieruggles7360]

I learned a lot about Chip through this video which I didnt know. He us a human being which makes mistakes just like all of us. The difference that counts for me is how he rectified his mistakes and learned from them. A wonderful and very talented couple with high standards abd a wonderful family. Here in Germany we still have the old Fixer Upper series on TV sometimes.

[@wandamorris696]

I Love this couple..mixing such hard work along with raising a big family! Joanna is a beautiful lady and a super mom and decorator!she is the main access to Chips success! They are two of the hardest working couples I know and I wish them the best for a wonderful future together!❤

[@annawilliams5533]

Sorry to hear you had an heart attack 💔

[@annawilliams5533]

Do you still eat alot of ham sandwiches

[@HelenDryga]

My question is why were they still allowed to sell lead based paint, and why didn’t they go after the paint factories. Maybe they didn’t realise. People just don’t like it when others do well and have to try and destroy them. This is very sad his friend tried to ruin them. I think they are both amazing and make a great couple. I wish them both well with all they put their hands too. 🥰🙏

[@Aleka1943]

I love these people. I am so happy that they no longer use lead-based paint. I did not know about led base paint until my mother knew I was painting a crib for my new baby. She said “we want to make sure you don’t get lead-based paint”. that is how I learned about the paint. I know that now the Gains do not use any type of lead-based paint.

[@lindawortkoetter6007]

I think he learned a good lesson I think he knows right from wrong now I don’t think he always has and I think he knows now and I think he’s a good guy and I think she is a fantastic woman and I think they’re both really talented and I hope they lead a blessed life them and their kids😊❤

[@MonteenMcCord]

Were they painting w lead paint, or wasn't using the proper safety precautions when demoing?

[@tusk242]

Great learning tool, for those who want to become famous. Hard to have a life that does not come back to BITE YOU, and those you had worked with.

[@KimberleeMelissa]

Good for them! Wildly impressive, I love it!

[@DeborahJaneda-vx8me]

What a nice story this was! Thank you for sharing!

[@dinazevallos302]

I just hope that will be more man like him, because most of the man focus in eating, alcohol or smoke and not dedicate family. entrepenour, hard working and in shape like them.
