Chip Gaines Thought He Was Going to be Arrested Just Before Launching Magnolia Network: ‘It Was Serious’

Chip and Joanna Gaines rose to fame on the popular HGTV show Fixer Upper, which ran for five seasons from 2013 to 2018. During their time on the show, the couple helped clients see a vision for their dream homes, and Chip and Joanna brought that home to life. The two raised four kids on the show as well and welcomed their fifth child, son Crew, shortly after the show ended.

After leaving HGTV in 2018, Chip and Joanna went on to launch their own TV network, Magnolia Network. However, Chip recalled in a 2023 conversation with Jimmy Fallon that he accidentally announced the network too soon — and thought he might get taken away in “handcuffs” afterward.
