The two met in 2001 and wed in 2003.

In 2016 she told People: ‘Match made in heaven is not the term you would use to describe us. But when we mixed our personalities together, it created a spark.’

And he said to Access Hollywood last year: ‘One thing that I would say is our superpower is that Jo and I are not quitters. Throwing in the towel is not something honestly that ever even comes to mind.;

They starred on HGTV’s Fixer Uppers from 2013 to 2018.

They first launched the Magnolia Network on the new streaming service Discovery+ last September. 

Discovery’s DIY Network was rebranded Magnolia Network and relaunched as a basic cable channel on January 5, 2022.  

Magnolia Network is listed among the top 25 basic cable channels. It currently has nearly 100 original projects totaling 350 hours of content across all platforms.

In mid May Joanna shared in Magnolia Journal’s new summer issue that she is trying to take life less seriously and say yes to ‘lightness and joy’ more often.

The Texas resident was seen living out her new attitude as she wore roller skates for the cover of her magazine.

‘It’s easy for me to take life too seriously sometimes,’ said the wife of Chip Gaines.

‘Fun doesn’t seem to run in my blood the way it does for others. But even I can sense when it’s time to cut loose. So I kicked this year off with all the hope of living it out loud.’

And she added that life is flourishing. 

‘For you, it may seem only natural to get in on the fun. But for me, it often looks like a slow yes. I can take life so seriously sometimes that I forget to enjoy the moments staring back at me.

‘To let something stir my spirit or stop me in my tracks. To look around and truly take note of the growth of all that I have nurtured. But this issue is prompting me to savor with abandon. 

And now the TV star wants to take nature’s cue. ‘To take in every breath, every sound, every taste. To let the sunnier moments stretch and soften and steady my life in motion for the next 90 days. And then, to see what still remains long after summer’s reign.’

And the skates, which she bought on a whim online when she was buying pairs for her kids, go wherever she goes. 

‘Days when things feel heavy or hard, I lace them up and stroll around,’ said the design wiz.

‘I’ve worn them while filming the cooking show and around the office.’

Turns out her mother also reminds her to slow down and ‘have a fun.’

‘Every December, I spend some time thinking about a word that I want to define the next year…. But this year, the deeper I thought, the louder I could hear my mom’s words—have a fun!—her signature sign-off whenever we talk on the phone.’

She added that they were simple words, but weighty in truth.

‘And it was made even more beautiful by her Korean accent… My mom is such a playful person, always has been—and she knows I’m naturally wired to be more serious.’
