Joanna and Chip Gaines have been vocal about their desire to keep their kids away from the spotlight.

In fact, one of their kids has even followed in their footsteps and who was featured on their home renovation series “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House,” which aired on Magnolia Network and HGTV in 2025.
