Joanna Gaines' Pregnancy Was a Surprise
by EG
Fans of Fixer Upper were surprised last year when Joanna Gaines announced that she was pregnant with her fifth child. They were no more surprised, however, than Joanna herself, who wasn't expecting to ever have another baby. Read on to find out more.

Joanna Gaines has opened up about her surprise pregnancy at 40 after welcoming her fifth child, son Crew, in June.
The star of “Fixer Upper,” alongside husband Chip, 43, admits in the new issue of their magazine, Magnolia Journal, that she “truly” thought she was done having children.
Joanna said: “Chip and I made a choice to take some time off this past year because it seemed best for us in that season — even though we knew it would stretch us to stay still. Only a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant.”
Fans of their HGTV show are now waiting to see when Joanna and Chip will be back on TV. “Fixer Upper” production company Scripps Networks Interactive was sold to Discovery Communications in a $14.6 billion deal in March.
As Page Six first reported, sources told how Joanna and Chip found their Scripps deal too restrictive, and the stars clashed with Scripps over promotion of their own company Magnolia — which the couple spread liberally throughout the episodes — even though Scripps doesn’t own a piece of the brand.
