In an interview with Darling Magazine in March 2018, Joanna revealed struggles with insecurity and being bullied for being an Asian during her childhood. She was not as confident as she is now and being bullied constantly was the main reason for it.

If you haven’t heard my story, my mom is full Korean and my dad is Caucasian. Kids in kindergarten would make fun of me for being Asian and when you’re that age you don’t know really how to process that; the way you take that is, ‘Who I am isn’t good enough.’

Things got easier for her when she moved to Texas with her parents. 

I discovered that my purpose was to help people who are insecure because I didn’t like the way it made me feel, in that stall; that’s not who I am

All my dreams have come true

A post shared by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on

Joanna Gaines tries her best to balance her life as a mother, designer, and entrepreneur. The family makes the best of everything and for 2018's Christmas they bought a 13-foot Christmas tree.

Back in the days, when the duo became the parents for the first time, Joanna freaked out after Chip left their oldest son alone when he was only six weeks.

Apart, Gaines is active on social media and has a great fan following. As of 2019, her account has more than 11 million followers.

Meaning Behind The Appealing Name Crew

The couple swayed away from their tradition of giving baby boys names that start with the letter D and opted for a C name. This is likely in honor of Chip. Earlier, Joanna revealed during her pregnancy:

"I want a C name, he wants a D name."

Meanwhile, the baby name Crew, while being unique, is rising in the ranks of popularity over the past few decades. And it turns out Chip and Joanna have tapped into two different baby-naming trends when deciding on Crew.

The crew is related to the Latin word accrue, which means increase or growth. This enhances even more positivity towards an already appealing name. It is also kind of apt for the growing Gaines family.

The name Crew was gaining popularity among many baby girls in 2017 as it is not traditionally gendered. However, it is predominantly used for boys.

Strong Bond Between The Couple

Till now none of them has reported being involved in any kind of extramarital affairs. The news of the couple getting separated is out of a picture, and looking at their good bond it is unlikely in the future as well.

By preserving and highlighting the character of each home, Joanna keeps things original and one of a kind. Her passion is to create functional rooms that inspire and encourage others to own their space.

The pair officially opened a restaurant named Magnolia Table on February 26, 2018.

Check out the video of Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines where they talked about why they’re ending Fixer Upper.

Even Chip and his wife have some tense moments in their married life. Chip opened up about how the 15-year of their marriage is going on and how his wife helps and supports him to keep him in line.

During an interview with Cowboys & Indians, he explained the scenario,

"When either of us is off the tracks or kind of lost our minds in one way or the other, you know, a little look, a little side eye certainly goes a long way for sure. And she's got a nasty one. She's scary."

Furthermore, he explained their relationship,

"Jo and I know each other; we have always been really good to each other. We believe that part of the magic in our marriage is just the simple fact that we care sincerely about one another."

The couple may welcome their sixth child in the family soon. He joked about the possibility if their sixth baby back in October 2018.
