ST. GEORGE, Staten Island, New York — According to Hollywood Life, Chip and Joanna Gaines appear to be committed to their relationship.
In an interview with “Access Hollywood,” the hosts of the HGTV show “Fixer Upper” said that divorce is “not an option” in their lives.
Together, Chip, 46, and Joanna, 43, are “not quitters,” as Chip puts it. They’ve been married for nearly 20 years, and at the end of May, they celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary.
And their famous marriage is going strong despite widespread skepticism.

When asked if they ever considered “throwing in the towel” during their marriage, Chip responded, “One thing I would say is our superpower is that Jo and I are not quitters.” That modest beginning has aided us greatly, if only in mysterious ways.
For him, the thought of giving up is completely out of the question. To elaborate, he said, “I would say it happened really early on in our relationship where we just thought that divorce or leaving one another is not really an option for us.”
Chip added that giving up “was just not in our DNA,” despite the fact that the two have had “many opportunities to stop and throw in the towel.”
Sometimes it’s correct, and sometimes it’s not, but Jo and I keep showing up, day after day,” he remarked. As the saying goes, “But we keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
Just so you know, the long-time pair got married in Waco, Texas, in May 2003.
In addition to Magnolia Market at the Silos and the Magnolia Network (which was delayed for a long time), Joanna and Chip Gaines have also published a magazine called Magnolia Journal and written a book titled The Magnolia Story, all of which were released in 2016.
Chip and Joanna talked about his long hair and opened up about some endearing behind-the-scenes antics, such as Chip wanting to give Joanna an engagement ring. But the old one had a special meaning to her.
As on July 15, the Magnolia Network will be available to the public.
That they “operate better together” is something Joanna writes about in the book.
According to her letter, “we appear to give each other vitality.” To paraphrase, “We work better together than we do apart, and I don’t think either of us has ever felt the impulse to say, ‘I need a break from you.'” Yes, we’ve had our fair share of setbacks and disagreements, but we were always committed to working through our problems as a team.
