Despite the show being incredibly popular, “Fixer Upper” only aired for a few seasons. In late September 2017, Vox reported that Chip and Joanna announced that the fifth season would be their last. The couple listed their reasons for ending the show, including needing to rest and pay more attention to their family.

However, Yahoo Entertainment reported that they weren’t off of TV for long at all. Instead of appearing on HGTV again, the duo announced that they would be returning to TV on their own channel. Magnolia Network officially launched in 2022, with Chip and Joanna starring in several shows in the last few years, including “Fixer Upper: The Hotel” and “Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse.”

Destination Waco serves as a reference for tourists visiting Waco, Texas. They shared that the couple also have several businesses in the area, including a coffee shop, a seed and supply store, a baking company, a shopping center, and others.

Off the television and outside of their business, Chip Gaines has experienced some troubling times throughout his long career. US Weekly reported that Chip has been through a number of scandals that many fans may not know even happened.

First of all, he was sued by two former business partners. They alleged that he persuaded them to sell their interest in his company (Magnolia Realty) just before “Fixer Upper” premiered for only $2,500 each.
