Chip Gaines is a well-known American television personality, renovation expert, and real estate entrepreneur. He gained widespread fame as the co-host, alongside his wife Joanna Gaines, of HGTV's popular home renovation show "Fixer Upper." Born on November 14, 1974, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and raised in Dallas, Texas, Chip has become synonymous with home transformation and design, showcasing his skills in flipping, remodeling, and fixing up homes.
Before his television career, Chip graduated from Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business in 1998, where he met Joanna, who would later become his business partner and wife. Together, they founded Magnolia Homes, a home renovation and design business, in Waco, Texas. Their business expanded to include real estate, construction, design services, a retail store, and a book publishing deal, among other ventures.
"Fixer Upper" debuted in 2013 and quickly became a hit, running for five seasons until 2018. The show's success was built on the couple's chemistry, Chip's charismatic and humorous personality, and their ability to transform run-down properties into beautiful homes, all while raising their family in Waco.
Beyond "Fixer Upper," Chip and Joanna have launched several successful businesses under the Magnolia brand, including Magnolia Market at the Silos, a popular tourist destination in Waco; Magnolia Table, a restaurant; and the Magnolia Network, a joint venture with Discovery, Inc., featuring lifestyle programming. They've also authored several books, including "The Magnolia Story," which details their personal and professional journey.
Chip is known for his down-to-earth personality, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to his family. He and Joanna have five children, and they often share glimpses of their family life and business ventures on social media and through their various media projects.
This bio captures Chip Gaines as of my last update in April 2023, and there may have been further developments in his career and personal life since then.
