In late September 2017, Chip and Joanna Gaines, the beloved hosts of the home remodeling TV series Fixer Upper, shared that the fifth season would be their last. They expressed their desire to spend more time with their children, but this announcement has left some of us feeling concerned about their future as a couple. Let’s dive into some of the reasons behind these concerns.
A Court Case Drama
One reason why their future is under scrutiny is a lawsuit filed against Chip. His former business associates have accused him of fraud, claiming that he convinced them to sell their Magnolia Realty stock just before he and Joanna announced their TV program. The lawsuit suggests that Chip wanted to be the sole beneficiary of Magnolia Realty’s association with Fixer Upper.
Chip has denied these allegations, stating that his former partners did not contact him about the sale of their shares. The truth of the matter will be revealed in due time as the case continues.
Accusations of Homophobia… or Not?
Another cause for concern arose when some accused Chip and Joanna of being homophobic. They attend a church that has a reputation for its strong stance against same-sex unions. Furthermore, their show Fixer Upper never featured same-sex couples, unlike other home renovation shows.
However, the network that aired Fixer Upper, HGTV, has denied these allegations and made it clear that they do not discriminate against members of the LGBT community in their shows. Chip himself defended the author of the article that made these accusations and emphasized the importance of treating everyone with respect and love. It’s important to note that Joanna has yet to share her personal opinions on homosexuality.
Clash of Opinions on Parenting
One more area of concern is the couple’s differing views on expanding their family. While Joanna expressed her desire for another child, Chip believes they are already done having kids. These differing opinions could potentially lead to conflicts or even strain their marriage.
A Closer Look at Their Body Language
When we watch the farewell goodbye video of Chip and Joanna for Fixer Upper, some experts have pointed out interesting observations about their body language. Chip seems cheerful and at ease, while Joanna appears either on the verge of tears or trying to suppress her true feelings. Body language experts suggest that Joanna’s turned-away legs could indicate withdrawal or a lack of attraction towards Chip.
While it’s important not to jump to conclusions based solely on body language, these observations do raise questions about the state of their relationship.
In conclusion, it’s natural for concerns to arise about Chip and Joanna’s marriage and empire. However, we must remember that these concerns are merely speculations. The future remains uncertain, and only time will reveal what lies ahead for these beloved TV personalities.
