Date of birth: November 14, 1974
Joanna and Chip marriage is considered as one of the most romantic and strongest in Hollywood and beyond. They married on May 31, 2003, and since then achieved a lot – they welcomed 5 beautiful kids, built their own successful business and gained international popularity as TV hosts of a popular show “Fixer Upper”.
Chip was born on November 14, 1974, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he was a primary school pupil, his parents moved him from New Mexico to Texas. The boy grew up on the huge rancho of his grandparents.
Since the earliest years, he was good at sports and dreamed to become a baseball player. But he wasn’t accepted to the college team, and the teenager was so upset that he decided to quit sports. Chip entered Baylor University, where he studied business management. After graduation, he tried a number of different types of businesses, until he fell in love with Joanna.
They say Chip loved Joanna at first sight when he saw her photo on the wall of her father’s auto shop. After that, he decided to cross his ways with the beautiful lady. He began to visit the auto shop every day, and all his friends laughed at him, but finally, he met Joanna and invited her for a date.
They dated within a year and then got married in the city, where both grew up – in Waco, Texas. After marriage both had a very limited budget, so they flipped their first family house almost with their own hands. After that, both felt a strong passion for home décor and design, and gradually it turned into the source of their income. That very year they opened a retail store “Magnolia Market”.
During the next 10 years, Chip did a lot – he expanded his business and welcomed 4 kids. In 2012 they started a TV show “Fixer Upper”, which aired during 5 seasons.
In 2018 Chip fathered the fifth son and released a memoir book “Capital Gaines”, which he devoted to his kids and his wife.
